Stories
on the Rayalaseema faction feuds are hot favorite with producers
who are interested in making action films, as it combines
family-oriented sentimental drama and romance, as most of
the feuds are between members of a single family.
The
hero returns to his native place after spending some time
incognito, elsewhere. All most all the recent films are set
in this mould. This way, Indra is no different.
But
the difference lies in placing Chiranjeevi in situations that
interest his fans, maintaining his basic image as both action
and dance star.
Scriptwriter
Chinni Krishna creates special situations for the megastar
to entertain the audience. He is also shown as a leader with
selfless service. Dialogue writers Paruchuri Bothers penned
with an intention - just as they did to late NT Rama Rao,
before and after he joined politics.
Dialogue
is the strength of the film. And Chiranjeevi takes enough
care to effectively render them.
Indra
is a hero of charitable disposition. His rivals in the area
exploit this trait in him to first grab all his property and
then to send him away from the town.
The
film opens with child Indrasena's family and rivalry that
seeps through three generations. And the grown up Indrasena
Reddy (Chiranjeevi) suddenly found on the banks of river Ganga
in Kaasi.
With
him, we find his trustworthy lieutenant (Tanikella Bharani),
his niece Nandini and nephew. An orphaned young man, and a
damsel in distress (played by Sonali bendre) also stay with
him.
The
screenplay accommodates the element of secularism, showing
a Muslim leader as Indra's friend after a couple of tumultuous
scenes regarding a love affair between Indra's nephew and
Muslim chief's daughter, which ends up in their happy marriage.
Indra
also gets his sister married to the orphan. Arrives Snehalatha
(Aarti), sister of Indra's archrival Veerasimhareddy (Mukesh
Rushi) to reveal that the boy who married his sister is her
own family member and he did it to take revenge. She also
says that Indrasena has not fulfilled the promise of marrying
her.
Then
follows the flashback. Veeraseimha Reddy and his four brothers
are Indra's rivals. They want to kill Indra as he killed their
father Siva Reddy in a duel. Indra seeks the collector Chennakesava
Reddy's (Prakash Raj) help to solve water problem by building
reservoir.
Veerasimha
Reddy owns huge lands, where the reservoir has to come up
.The brother finally sign the documents only after indrsena
gives away his property and agrees to marry Snehalatha.Now,he
has to fulfil the promise of marriage.
The
narration takes a few more twists, after Indra gets back to
his native town, before the desired climax - a war between
the brothers and Indra - is set.
Brahmanandam,
AVS and a couple of comedians entertain us in the Ganga Ghat
scenes, in Benaras. The story has a surprise element in the
role played by Sonali Bendre. For Chiranjeevi, this film is
a sure comeback after some gap.
Aarti
has a significant role as the girl who admires Indrasena at
heart, but does not spare him on family issues. Sonali Bendre's
role is reserved to a couple of dance duets.
The
film is strong in its technical values and is also loaded
with some impossibility, projecting the hero as all-powerful.
Manisarma's music is soothing with traditional touch. VSR
Swamy's photography is the highlight of the technical part
of the film.
