Keshava Telugu Movie
Keshava (Nikhil) is a student in Rajamahendravaram who suffers from a rare heart disease. He has his heart on the right side and should always keep his anger or tension in check. Any mental or physical tension will ruin his health. But then he on a mission to kill those involved the murder of his parent but have to execute it without getting angry. Rest is all about what happens between him, the miscreants and the Police.
Keshava is a Nikhil's film from start to end. He came up with an intense performance but then his serious looks give us a monotonous feel even though it is required by the character. Ritu Varma is seen as Keshava's co-student in the college and she is adequate in the role. Vennela Kishore's Comedy is superb while Pellichoopulu Priyadarshi is okay. Isha Koppikar makes a comeback to Tollywood as an IPS officer and is good. Rao Ramesh, Ajay, Brahmani, Raja Ravindra are okay.
Sudhir Varma has come up with a simple story and tries to run the show with a different screenplay and stylish narration. He embeds it with a good number of twists. Keshava misses logic in many parts and protagonist having heart right side in the chest adds no value to the plot considering his acts. The first half is riveting. Style supersedes all. Thin plot but Sudheer's taut narration makes it an interesting watch. 'Vengeance' part is cliched but Divakar Mani's excellent cinematography and Prashant Pillai's Background score have worked in a big way. Sunny MR's Music is just average. Production Values are Grand.
Finally, with a riveting first half and an okay second half, Keshava becomes a one time watch. A little bit of additional effort by the director would have ensured that the movie crosses the line. You can enjoy it if you go without expectations
