Akhanda movie review highlights: Balakrishna and Pragya Jaiswal's film is high on masala

With fairly a couple of films’ releases pushed once more due to the pandemic, the viewers has been making an attempt forward to a great popcorn entertainer, nonetheless is that this film it? Briefly, type of.

Murali Krishna (Balakrishna) grows up in his village as a peacemaker, someone who isn’t afraid to throw punches when needed nonetheless will even reform factionists and unfold consciousness on the importance of dwelling in harmony with nature and fellow human beings. Saranya (Pragya Jaiswal) is the Collector there and she or he wouldn't merely carry a corrupt police officer to job, she moreover falls for Murali as their ideologies match. After odd flirtation and some whistle-worthy duets, the film will get into the thick of points. Balakrishna’s intro as an aghora correct sooner than the interval models the tone for what’s to return.

On account of with Akhanda, Boyapati weaves a fantasy of sorts. The film begins out strong and stands out when it explores this monitor. Aghoras, babas and dire predictions aren’t new tropes nonetheless Boyapati manages to make all of it pleasing. The place the film meanders is when Varada Rajulu’s (Srikanth) mining monitor is explored. He'll get a killer intro, practically on par with Balakrishna’s nonetheless too many players are launched into the fold with Gajendra Sahu, an evil man pretending to be a saint.

None-the-less the first half of the film, due to Boyapati’s mass moments, Thaman’s BGM and Balakrishna’s assertion dialogue provide affords ample scope for whistles throughout the theatre. Significantly if it is stuffed with NBK’s followers who will scream Jai Balayya prolonged after the title music is accomplished. It stays to be seen if Boyapati tightens the strings and focuses on the story throughout the second half.
