There are films, and there are films by director Boyapati Srinu. Then there are films by Boyapati Srinu starring Nandamuri Balakrishna. In the cinematic universe where the two collaborate, everything is more substantial than everyday living. Practically nothing is subtle, not even remotely. In their 3rd outing with each other immediately after
Simha and
Legend , the two make your mind up to up the scale and the decibels. Telugu film
Akhanda stars Balakrishna in a twin part, but we’ll come to that in a bit.

The director is knowledgeable of the star’s massive fanbase. Chants of ‘Jai Balayya’ are the norm when his films arrive at the theatres. This time, the enthusiasts took it a phase even more. Sample this: ‘Edukondalavada Venkataramana… jai Balayya!’ In
Akhanda , one of the roles essayed by Balakrishna is akin to a demi-God, anyone who has superhuman powers. The other character played by Balakrishna is named Murali Krishna, a Superior Samaritan who has been instrumental in halting faction strife and is revered by all.

With the phase set for a more substantial-than-life canvas, Boyapati goes all out. The 167-minute film starts and finishes with action sequences that are meticulously choreographed, with sufficient gradual movement photographs developed to be dutifully lapped up amid loud cheers. Balakrishna walks concerning two substantial wheels and afterwards tyres that are rolling absent, right after beating people today to a pulp, of course, in gradual movement.

Somewhere else, he thrusts a trishul into anyone and turns it spherical a pair of moments, just so we know he is not allowing the evil ones get away very easily. In a different scene, bullets pop off someone’s skull. A further guy beaten up by Balakrishna and hurled up is still spinning in the air even though the star walks absent in s.l.o.w.m.o.t.i.o.n. This is only the tip of the iceberg there’s lots far more motion in the movie, unfolding to Thaman’s rousing score.

The story is that of twins separated at start. Been there, observed that? A uranium miner exploits the land and its men and women to the hilt. Witnessed this kind of tales way too? Boyapati presents these oft-repeated mainstream storylines an additional edge with the ‘Akhanda’ (invincible) component, throwing in a great evaluate of faith, spirituality, superior Vs. evil godmen.

The narrative unfolds in a acquainted fashion, depicting the hero’s great deeds. There’s home for romance as effectively. The new district collector Saranya Bachupalli (Pragya Jaiswal) is depicted far more as a romantic desire and later on as spouse and young mother than as a civil servant. She receives enough display time, but not adequate scope to be taken severely as a district collector. The age change among the pair also appears obtrusive.

Poorna, as principal secretary Prabhavathi, probing the mining scandal, has slightly better scope to portray a no-nonsense govt official.

Srikanth is cast as mine proprietor Varadaraju who knows no regret. He eats at a very poor woman’s residence and in return, presents her with the severed head of the male of the residence. If that offers an strategy of the depiction of evil in this film, there’s additional. A collection of barbaric functions sets the phase for the arrival of ‘Akhanda’ as the saviour.

The drama goes on and on, with Boyapati and workforce not tiring of a number of additional motion sequences. All this is laced with dialogues by M Ratnam. Some are sermons even though most are punchlines — ‘
Meeku samasya vaste dandam pedataru, memu aa samasyake pindam pedatam both are not same’. Boyapati and Balakrishna appear to have comprehensively loved earning the movie.

Srikanth is released as a effective antagonist but sooner or later comes throughout as a frequent villain. A lot of other characters fill the display screen but have no scope to make an effects.

The movie will get tiresome post intermission and the incessantly significant voltage history rating doesn’t help both.
