EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: **
Producer Dil Raju`s Rama Rama Krishna Krishna adds to the list of
several potboilers that had predictable story lines and senseless screenplays.
It seems Dil Raju has not learnt from his mistakes of making films at regular
intervals with a wafer-thin story line, stale screenplay and inferior narration.
Director Srivas, who showed a little promise in his first film Lakshyam,
has made a hotch-potch attempt in writing the script and has not even tried to
narrate it with engaging sequences. There are several flaws in his direction and
despite the presence of big stars like Arjun and Raam, the film ends up as an
average fare.
The director has just rehashed some elements from successful films like
Rajnikanth`s Basha, Ab Tak Chhappan and Magadheera.
It is such a formula movie that Srivas just included commercial elements like
dances, songs and a little bit of comedy in the first half, while the second
half has some melodrama, sentiments and high dose of action sequences.
The film revolves around a careless youth Ramakrishna from Gandhipuram in
Godavari district who pretends to be a good, disciplined guy in front of his
father. But he is very naughty with others. How careless Ramakrisha solves
family problems and marry his sweetheart Priya forms the story.
Raam exudes energy in the dance sequences. He is also good in fight sequences,
but he is surely handicapped by a weak script.
Veteran actor Arjun fits perfectly in the role of Ashok. Among the two heroines,
Priya Anand looks bubbly but Telugu girl Bindhu Madavi gets little scope to
prove her talents. Nasser and Brahmanandam perform their roles with ease.
The flaws in the films are that Keervani`s music is disappointing though his
background score is slightly better. The camera work is okay and not comparable
to strides made in the Telugu film industry these days. Editing could have been
sharper.
Rama Rama Krishna Krishna is another average fare. You can see the
film if you have no alternative.
Director Hanu Raghavapudi says he couldn't think of anyone else but popular Telugu actor Arjun to play the antagonist in his yet-untitled upcoming Telugu film with Nithiin in the lead.Read More
