Asadhyudu Telugu Movie
One certain thing about actor Nandamuri Kalyan Ram is that he doesn’t act macho, he is macho. Though his body exactly isn’t like a Rithik Roshan or Salman Khan and could do with some work out in the gym, his facial expressions and dialogue delivery is what the people want to see in a young, angry and unruffled hero. His looks are rather ordinary – like a guy on the streets or in a college or a mechanic shop that makes the masses to identify with him easily. But he is good in the acting department, especially the angry scenes. After the success of Athonuokkade, KalyanRam proves again that his acting talents as an angry young man are laudable.
Asadhyudu – the latest flick starring KalyanRam in the lead role proves to be an ordinary movie. But KalyanRam shines out as a reasonably good actor. The crowd just loves his dialogue delivery and action scenes.
Partha Sarathi (KalyanRam) is a young man who gets kicked out of colleges for being upright and standing up for what’s right. Every time he is thrown out of college he makes a trip to Hyderabad to enjoy with his friends till his father arranges a seat in another college. His parents understand and like him despite his shortcoming. During one such trip to Hyderabad he runs into a few baddies who are part of an organized crime network run by Prakash (Ravi Kale) and his brother. Circumstances lead to the death of Prakash’s brother in the hands of Parthu, unintentionally of course. Then starts Prakash’s search for Parthu who returns to his parents in Vizag and joins a new college. By now his classmate (Diya) has already fallen in love with him. But the big problem is her father is a part of the same crime network run by Prakash from Hyderabad and doesn’t appreciate the idea of her daughter falling in love with anybody. How Parthu handles his love and how he stands up to the menacing Prakash forms the rest of the story.
The picturisation of the action scenes are commendable and the film scores well in the action scenes. But lack of good comedy and below average songs ruin the chances of the film being a big hit. God knows when the Telugu film industry would come out of the myth that the hero ought to have almost supernatural powers. How the moviemakers convince the audience - either it’s some God/Goddess who bestows the powers or the hero is a boxer. It’s disgusting to see a person single handedly taking on scores of robust baddies in the fight sequences, however convincing it might be. Quite indigestible to the intelligent audience. And the viewers would not miss the countless number of swords, axes and fight scenes where people just fly or die with one blow from the hero. Give us a break.
