Katamarayudu Movie Review
Katamarayudu Story:
Katamarayudu is the story of Rayudu (Pawan Kalyan) who is the head of his village based in Rayalaseema. He is quite focused on the problems of the people and he has a huge aversion towards women. It is because of which his brothers (Siva Balaji, Ajay, Kamal Kamaraj and Chaitanya Krishna) start searching for the right girl to convince Rayudu. It is then they spot Avanthi (Shruti Haasan) after which the real story starts. The rest of Katamarayudu is all about how Rayudu falls in love with her and eliminates the evils in the village. Watch the film to know about the complete story.
Katamarayudu Analysis:
The first half of Katamarayudu has been convincing with decent entertainment. Pawan Kalyan looks stunning in a new look in white and white with a shaped moustache. Based mostly on entertainment, Pawan carried the complete first half on his shoulders. The action episodes have been shot extremely well and the interval episodes have been interesting. On the whole the first half of Katamarayudu has been decent with entertaining episodes.
The second half of Katamarayudu has been mostly based on revenge drama and the love story which have been laced well. The movie has been completely predictable and looks outdated most of the time. However Pawan Kalyan is the only savior for the film and he performed throughout with utmost ease. The climax has been ok and on the whole the second half of Katamarayudu too carries the flow.
Katamarayudu Performances:
Pawan Kalyan manages to stand strong in all the available ways throughout the movie. With stunning presence and performance, Pawan leads the show throughout and is the major highlight of the film. Shruti Haasan looks completely traditional and she performed with ease. She looks apt as Avanthi and contributed well. Pradeep Ravat and Rao Ramesh have been powerful and did justice for their assigned roles. Ali, Prudhvi, Siva Balaji, Ajay, Kamal Kamaraj and Chaitanya Krishna have been perfect in their assignments.
The story of Katamarayudu is quite outdated and is routine. The screenplay and the dialogues have been decent and they make the difference. The cinematography is one of the major highlights of the film. The music and the background score of Katamarayudu is a huge let down. The production values look grand and Dolly managed to impress the audience with his gripping narration.
Final Word: Katamarayudu is sure a decent one time watch for Pawan Kalyan’s presence and his performance. The film is good at parts however it looks routine for the most of the time.
