Director N Srikanth Reddy’s latest mass movie “Adikeshava” starring mega nephew Panja Vaishnav Tej and Srileela as heroine. And let’s find out in the review how this movie that hit the theaters today.
Story:
Coming to the story…Chengareddy (Joju George) is the most cruel person from Rayalaseema. He tortures his village by putting small children to work in his mines. On the other hand, Balu (Panja Vaishnav Tej) gets into some serious fights in Hyderabad and wanders without a job. One day, at the request of his mother (Radhika), he joins a company called Earthi Cosmetics, who is the CEO of that company, and falls in love with Chitra (Srileela) at first sight. How did the story turn from there? Do they have any connection with that Chengareddy? If so how far did it go? You have to watch this movie to know why Balu has to stop Chengareddy’s illegal activities.
Plus Points:
It must be said that the young hero Vaishnav Tej will appear in a full mass role for the first time and will impress. Even as a mass hero, if he is fit and has good screen presence and action, he will impress.
Also, the heroine Srileela is also impressive with her good looks and energetic performance. The energy of both of them is also good in the chemistry songs between the two. There is also good comedy here and there in some scenes.
When it comes to the action elements, he has shown a new type of violence as the makers have been saying from the beginning. Mass elements and fights in Adikeshava will appeal to those who want some new action elements in Mass.
Also actor Joju George is set as the villain. He also gave a good performance. And Radhika, Suman and others impress with the scope of their roles.
Minus Points:
The main weakness of this movie is the lack of proper story lines. While the mass moments are good, the storylines that seem to go along with them are dull. The same regular line which has already been seen in many movies is also present in this movie.
Moreover, many movies that have come out in recent times will be remembered while watching this movie. Even those twists are not pleasing at all. Although the movie is short, it gets boring at some places.
One gets the feeling that the songs were forced to take the first episode into the main plot. It would have been better if more screen space had been given to the typical actor Joju George. His role is limited in this movie. Many scenes including his character should be designed better.
Technical category:
The production values in this movie are good. The music by GV Prakash in the technical team is good. The songs don’t matter. The background score is good at places. Cinematography editing is okay. The fights are well composed.
And when it comes to director N Srikanth Reddy…it must be said that he has given below average work to this film. The story is somehow not taken new, at least the story should have been screened in a somewhat engaging manner. It was fixed that only the action episodes should be screened solidly, but they have been elevated well. Also some scenes need to be presented better.
Verdict:
Overall, the main lead in this “Adikesava” movie seems okay. Also the good mass moments are solid. But the story lines seem to be the weakness of the film. The second half is slightly better than the first half. And if you are just a mass action lover, you can try it once with very low expectations.
