High sentiment and low entertainment

The Review
With an age old story, screenplay and execution, Ravi Teja-Anushka starrar Baladoor fails to reach expectation but stands out as an average flick. Ravi Teja’s kind of entertainment is completely missing in the film. Though this flick has got all commercial elements, sentiment dominated every other thing. And too much of everything is too bad. That what happened with Baladoor. Action sequences, romance, comedy—all other sequences are not given enough scope and are not handled in fresh way and the punch is missing in all these sections. Even the Bramhanandam comedy also falls flat on the screen. He hardly makes the viewer laugh. The best aspects are the songs were picturized very well. Overall the first half of the film is okay but the second half tests the patience in few scenes. Watch it out for the sentiment aspect of the film and the oomph factor of Anushka. The flick has got many similarities to Venkatesh starrar Lakshmi especially the sentimental scenes and the villan’s attempts divide hero’s family.
Synopsis
Chanti (Ravi Teja) respects his uncle (Rama Krishna) very much and gets ready for doing anything for the sake of his uncle. Ramakrishna is a builder, who has many conflicts with another builder (Pradeep Rawat). Meanwhile Bhanumathi (Anushka) falls in love with Chanti and keeps running for his love. Everything seems to be pretty good until Chanti’s life until he gets divided from his uncle after some misunderstanding. How did Chanti take care of his uncle and his family and how he manages to unit with the family is all about the rest of the story.
Artistic Performances
Ravi Teja plays a character which has more sentimental touch than entertaining elements. If Ravi Teja is looking forward to prove as an all-rounder this is a brilliant step. He is at his bet in all the scenes but the director failed to write and execute the scenes properly. He tried his best in the scenes, especially in the sympathy driven scenes. His entertainment is missing through out the film. Anushka is sizzling in the songs. She is at her glam best. But as usually in few scenes, her dialogues and her expressions cross limits and look vulgar. Super Krishna justified her role but in the climax action sequences simply makes you laugh with his power shots. Pradeep Rawat, Subbaraju justified their roles as villans.
Technical Performances
Director Uday Shankar, who earlier has given a super hit family entertainer Kalisundam Raa with Venkatesh took a message oriented subject-Kalasi Unte Kaladu Sukham, but failed to narrate in an entertaining way. He was depended more on the sentimental aspects than the entertaining aspect. Story by Paruchuri brothers lakhs freshness. How many such stories they provide? Screenplay and execution all lacks freshness and creativity. Its look like an old wine in a new bottle. Music by K.M.Radha Krishnan is okay. But the background score is disappointing. All other departments justified their roles.
