![]() Sonali Bendre is the smitten Pallavi who pursues Sankar and schemes her way into his household (and incidentally, out of an unwanted marriage). So versatile! I don’t understand why people keep asking me why I love him – surely it’s obvious. And he does it in plaid, in sequins or in a lunghi. This is not a film that demands subtlety but Chiru adds a bit more emotion and credibility than I expected. The action scenes are action packed, the dancing is high energy and the speeches are compelling. ![]() Chiranjeevi is all hero and there is no doubt this is his film. Well–he is a man of peace, until he isn’t. It’s clear there is a connection between the two episodes, but the first part of the film is all about the peaceful family man. What a guy! Isn’t Varanasi beautiful too? And I loved him ‘singing’ in front of SPB in another scene. When his niece Nandhini says she needs inspiration to sing, he comes up with this little beauty: His family mean everything to him, and Sankar does all he can to support their education and happiness. Sankaranarayana (Chiranjeevi) is a taxi driver, classical vocalist, philanthropist and deliverer-of-justice. The boy shows signs of some kind of power: Young Indrasena Reddy assumes the leadership of his clan after God knows how many of his male relatives are killed. ![]() The action kicks off in 1975 with scenes of murder and betrayal. This is a film of many incidents and little introspection so I won’t delve into the plot too much or there will be too many spoilers. Really Paruchuri Brothers, you call yourselves ‘writters’? The violence is so over the top and cartoonishly bloody, the baddies are so one dimensionally bad, that I couldn’t take it seriously.I also had to laugh at this little moment in the opening credits. I say entertaining despite a huge bodycount and an impressive gore budget. Indra is a really entertaining vehicle for Chiranjeevi, combining action, melodrama and music in a visual feast. ![]()
