Krishnam
Vande Jagadgurum starts with Devika
(Nayantara) an undercover CBI officer disguised as TV reporter who is
investigating the illegal mining king pin Reddappa (Milind Gunaji) and his
activities in Bellari. Reddappa is the illegal
mining king sitting on 1 Lakh crores wealth and dictating terms to all the four
estates of democracy.
Cut to B.Tech. Babu (Rana Daggubati) and his grandfather Surabhi
Subrahmanyam (Kota Srinivasa Rao) runs a drama
company. Surabhi Subrahmanyam believes
that Drama’s change the due course of one’s life and in that effort he pens
down the drama of his life “Krishnam
Vande Jagadgurum” which narrates the incarnations of Lord Vishnu that
saved the world, every time there is an adversity.
Surabhi
Subrahmanyam dying wish is to make B.Tech. Babu enact this drama in his home
town Bellari. To full fill his last wish B.Tech. Babu reaches Bellari and notices
that how the mining has ruined the lives of many people who reside in forests.
In an effort to change the situation, B.Tech. Babu encounters mining mafia and
Reddappa.
How B.Tech. Babu
counters Reddappa and in that effort realizes the true meaning of god and his incarnations
is the story.
Coming to
performances both Rana & Nayantara did a decent job, but personally the one
performance the stands out for me is that of Matti Raju (L.B.Sriram) who did an
exceptional job as an exploited tribal.
Coming to the
story and direction, Krish has chosen a very bold topic (taking the political
situation in Andhra Pradesh into consideration) and has done decent job as
director. But, had the story taking been tight the movie would have been much
better.
For me the strength of this movie is in its dialogues and beyond any
doubt Burra Sai Madhav has given some hard hitting ones. Credits to Mr.Mani Sharma for
some intense background score.
The let downs have been patchy editing work and some ordinary graphic work.
Do not miss this movie, for a change you will get to see a new dimension
in Telugu movie making.
Rating: 3.5/5
