Mukundha Telugu Movie

Feature Film | 2014

Audience:
Mukundha is for Varun Tej what Gauravam is for Allu Sirish. May be it is a bit better than Gauravam but will do no good to the first timer in any way. This is definitely a script that should not be preferred for a debutant. Finally it ends up as a disappointment for Varun Tej as well as the audience.

Mukundha (Varun Tej) is a good man who goes to any extent to help his friends. His friend Arjun falls in love with the niece of a Municipal Chairman (Rao Ramesh) and Mukundha keeps saving him from the attacks of the Chairman and in the process falls in love with daughter (Pooja Hegde) of the Chairman. Then it is the election time and Mukunda supports Prakash Raj as nominee for the ward elections over Rao Ramesh. Rest of the story is all about - Will Arjun marry his girl friend? Will Prakash win over Rao Ramesh?


Varun Tej, new entrant from Mega family is a mixed package for audience. Looks wise he is better than many Mega heroes but seem to be still struggling with the acting. He could not emote for the various moods of the character and is mostly seen with a single expression. Pooja Hegde looks very beautiful but needs a lot of improvement in acting. Rao Ramesh is the major highlight of the film and is superb in the the role of a doting father and a corrupt politician. Prakash Raj is wasted in a little role which has nothing to do excep giving fact quotes. Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao, Nassar, Raghu Babu and the new comers are confined to very limited roles.


Srikanth Addala once again has come up with a honest intent but is let down by a poor screenplay. The story is quite simmilar to numerous films in the past. But it lacks the depth to take the story or characters forward with very slow narration. The interval bang looks promising but the second half goes on sinking further finally completing with a hurried climax.


Mikcy J. Meyer did justice to both the songs and as well as the back ground score. The cinematography is neat and there are may fresh locales giving a good feel for the audience. The film suffers slow pace through out especially in the second half, editor could have easily trimmed of 15 minutes odd. Production Value of Leo Productions is good.


Finally, Mukundha is for Varun Tej what Gauravam is for Allu Sirish. May be it is a bit better than Gauravam but will do no good to the first timer in any way. This is definitely a script that should not be preferred for a debutant. Finally it ends up as a disappointment for Varun Tej as well as the audience.
