Story
Krish (NTR) is the only son of a multi-millionaire industrialist and
his girlfriend is Indu (Samantha). Indu's friend is Bhoomi (Kajal
Agarwal). Bhoomi's father (Prakash Raj) forces her to get into wedlock
but she wants to continue her studies. Hence she lies to her father that
she is already in love with a guy and her father wants to meet her boy
friend. Indu asks Krish to act as boyfriend of Bhoomi. The rest of the
story is all about what happens in Brindavanam (Prakash Raj's house).
Artists Performance
NTR:
NTR who is known as huge mass hero came out of his image to do a
character that doesn't have his usual roughness to it. He is very good
as a lover boy and a lovable son. He has also made sure that there are
ample fights and a few mass dialogues for his fan-base to enjoy. NTR
should be appreciated for doing the pre-climax scene. He again proves to
be one of the best dancers in the industry.
Others:
Kajal Agarwal is nice. Samantha who played prim, proper and
individualistic Jessie in YMC played a glamorous role in this film by
wearing western outfits. She is cool. Prakash Raj does his usual father
role with panache. Srihari is very good in an important role.
Brahmanandam is hilarious as dupe father of NTR. Ajay looks dashing as
villain, Tanikella Bharani and Kota Sreenivasa Rao are excellent. Venu
madhav, Mukesh Rushi, Raghu Babu & Ahuti Prasad are adequate.
Technical departments
Story screenplay - direction:
The story of the movie resembles a few similar themed films like
Bavagaru Bagunnara and Allugugaru Vacharu. There also traces of
Bommarillu in Prakash Raj's characterization. Vamsi Paidipalli has
proved his calibre as a director who knows how to make stylish, action
films with his debut Munna. The action sequences in this movie are also
well conceived. Vamsi has also did well in entertainment department in
the second half of brindavanam. However, he couldn't get it right when
it comes to emotional/sentiment scenes. He tried using typical Karan
Johar kind of sentiment where each and every character in the movie has
moisturized eyes either due to happiness or sadness. The senti/emotional
scenes are artificial in the movie. But the screenplay is properly
formatted to cater to all sections of audiences.
Other departments:
Music by Thaman is good on screen when combined with the visuals.
Background music is nice. Dialogues by Koratala Siva are neat.
Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is excellent. I liked the way he has
shown the vehicles with a clear sky behind. Editing is smooth. Art
direction by Anand Sai is good. Ram - Laxman's fights are enjoyable.
Production values by Dil Raju are good very good.
Analysis:
First half of the movie is adequate. Major part of the second half is entertaining. Climax of the movie is debatable. The plus points are NTR and entertainment in second half (from interval to the 5th song
of the movie). On the flip side, the story of the movie gives us deja
vu feeling in many aspects and the emotional part should have been
natural (instead of appearing forced). Brindavanam is a decent and clean
movie with enough ingredients to make it work at box office. It is up
to NTR to get a range for the movie.
