A unique tale of a boy and a tiger -

Evaluation: Based on a novel of the similar title by Sannapureddi Venkata Ramireddy, director Krish phrases Konda Polam as a narrative of ‘turning into’. Lush greenery, a singular dialect, herds of goats and a rain-less land transport you to the universe this story is prepared in. Coming-of-age tales or rural ones mustn't new to Telugu cinema. The film, nonetheless, manages to keep up you hooked due to the tactic all of it unfolds.

Ravindranath aka Ravi (Vaisshnav Tej) is a youthful man who’s well-educated by his shepherd father in hope that he finds an opulent job throughout the metropolis. No matter attending instructing lessons, Ravi finds it exhausting to crack the interview or group dialogue spherical it doesn’t matter what he does. His spine seems to be in a perpetual state of shiver, be it in a boardroom or once more dwelling throughout the village the place he’s repeatedly requested why he doesn’t have a job however. Despatched to the forest by his grandfather (Kota Srinivasa Rao) for konda polam, Ravi must be taught to let go of his fears if he’s to survive. And way more importantly, if he has to keep up the an entire lot of goats that depend upon him alive.

Krish does a stupendous job of creating the story. The realm they reside in has not seen heavy rainfall since years. There’s a water shortage not just for the individuals there however moreover the goats the shepherd neighborhood deal with. The shepherds identify their herd they offer the impression of being after pranalu and seem as emotionally relying on them as a result of the voiceless creatures are on them. The forest they reside near is generous though. She provides them with meals and even water when the time comes, apart from makeshift weapons made out of rocks to protect themselves from predators – every the human and animal type.

There isn’t a dearth of battle whilst you take a bunch of individuals and throw them into the forest. They’re merely not the type of ‘battle’ you might be usually used to seeing in cinema. Apart from combating for his or her life when the specter of a tiger looms large, deforestation may be one factor the film presents with. The tribal neighborhood dwelling there has its private set of factors that no person can uncover a decision from apart from offering empathy. Ravi’s growth from an individual who shivers on the sight of a snake to 1 who will look a tiger throughout the eye to protect his private transports you to a whole one different world. One which’s as exacting as a result of it’s giving. Ravi Prakash will get a shifting monologue that stays with you. Sai Chand makes your coronary coronary heart break when he cries for some rain.

Rakul Preet Singh performs the feisty Obu, Ravi’s reluctant partner-in-crime. The latter could possibly be well-educated nevertheless the previous is the one who's conscious of the world he’s in the meanwhile dwelling in. She is conscious of her technique spherical not merely the herd however moreover the forest, turning into his guru to point out him the ropes. The way in which through which Ravi and Obu’s love story is weaved into the bigger story at hand is sweet, even when it leaves you wanting further at events. An oddly positioned dance amount aside, MM Keeravani’s music does a terrific job of expressing their love as soon as they will’t. The way in which through which they begin to know each other’s world moreover works.

Whatever the strong and distinctive story, the film suffers from some technical difficulties. Whereas Keeravani’s music is a delight and performs an equal half in bringing Konda Polam to life as lots as Krish’s route does, his BGM will get overpowering in some scenes. Throughout the tune Shwaasalo, the music doesn’t even dip so that you could hear the traces being spoken. Nasser’s dubbing seems off each time he calls out Ravi’s title for some trigger throughout the scenes that occur on the UPSC office. Whereas the tiger (every truly and figuatively) is type of as lots a part of the story as the remainder, the CGI typically takes away from the in some other case raw and pure texture of the film. And the stakes don’t seem extreme adequate typically when Ravi makes do with dialogues to avoid wasting numerous the day.

In a film the place he doesn't have traces in all scenes, Vaisshnav does a terrific job of speaking collectively along with his eyes. His fear, pleasure, anger and dejection come all through successfully when he doesn’t talk about. He could falter typically nevertheless he does a terrific job for basically probably the most half. Rakul is a delight as Obu and the dubbing for her character seems almost pitch-perfect, turning into correct into the pores and pores and skin of the character. She’s a ray of sunshine in an in some other case muted film. The rest of the cast is a delight too nevertheless the true hero of this film is the story.

Konda Polam may want its moments the place it misses the mark nonetheless it should get further points correct than incorrect. Give this one a chance this weekend within the occasion you had been prepared for a singular story to be instructed all alongside. This isn’t the film for you within the occasion you’re looking for some masala though.
