STORY: B.tech babu(Rana Daggubati) is the grandson of Subrahmanyam(Kota srinivasa rao) who is a Surabhi theatre artist. Rana, by profession acts in the dramas, yet desires to go to the US. But he is taken aback by the death of his grandfather and inorder to fulfill his last desire of playing a Drama called Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum in Bellary Natakothsavalu. Devika(Nayanatara) is a journalist who tries to make a documentary on the secret mining issues carried out by Reddapa(Milind Gunaji) in Bellary. Here Rana meets Devika and some incidents lead him to know his past.The rest of the story is how she changes his Prejudiced opinion of society..
ARTISTS PERFORMANCE: Rana has done a great job justifying his role both as a drama artist and also as a B.tech babu. He overpowered the screen with his hunky looks.He improved his dialogue delivery so well that it even carried out the feel even in emotional scenes. Nayanatara looks gorgeous as ever.She dubbed for herself for the first time and succeeded in doing this. Raghubabu did a good job for his less written role yet an important one. Posani Krishna Murali as Tippu Sultan brought out some humour . Brahmanandam's role can be much more better in which he tried to get some laughs but not fully satisfied.
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT: Direction was convincing but not good as the Krish previous ones.Commercial elements were attached which is generally not expected in a Krish'smovie.He nicely revealed the roles in first half with some good comedy.Two Songs were placed in such places which shall dilute the strong emotion that he has developed before them.Dialogues were quite philosophical and maintained the depth of the story.Cinematography was not outstanding but good.Editing is crisp.Songs are average though they are copied from the famous bollywood films. BGM is heart of the film.Especially in the interval and climax scenes it was outstanding.Without Manisharma's BGM KVJ would not have made the impact that it has made now.It shall give you goosebums.
PROS: Dialogues,BGM,Rana's action..
CONS: Drags in few scenes,Placing of songs..
VEDRICT: It stands to tell you that the Telugu Cinema is still alive! Go watch it !
