When a well-known director announces his 150th venture with a
big star cast and a powerful story, topline producer C. Kalyan backing it up and
a popular actor like Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead, one expects something
extraordinary.
In short, Parama Veera Chakra directed by Dasari Narayana Rao
boasted of a surefire winning combination with top technicians and two Bollywood
actress, but it fails to please the audience because of the age old narrative
technique and a miserable script.
Dasari fails to make use of a good opportunity - weak script and poor direction
spoils the whole show and the movie fails to connect with the present generation
of audience.
In the early 1980s, Dasari had directed two fantastic films - Bobbili Puli
and Sardar Paaparaayudu with the late legendary actor NTR. But the
problem is that he used the same outdated technique in this film too. Viewers
may wonder why Dasari continues to torment the audience after giving continuous
flops in last few years.
The story starts off with two military officers approaching popular actor
Chakradhar who has essayed many powerful roles besides taking up causes which
are dearer to the people. The two officers want Chakradhar to make a film on
Major Jayasimha who has been wrongly framed by crooked politicians and army
personnel.
Later the army officers refuse give him the full story and ask Chakradhar to
come to Himachal Pradesh to meet real Jayasimha.
Balakrishna shouts and screams in the film, but fails to raise its standards by
his charismatic presence. There is enough skin show by three actresses but it
fails to save the movie. Comedy sequences involving Brahmanandam and Ali, which
are a spoof on Rajnikanth`s recent film Robot, evoke some laughter.
Veteran artists like Jayasudha and Murali Mohan should be happy that they have
very short roles.
Mani Sharma`s music fails to impress and the other technical work in the film is
also ordinary.
It is better if you avoid this film.
