Badrinath Movie Review

                                                          Badrinath

Watched Badrinath today@INOX

               After the Roaring Success of Adhurs, V.V.Vinayak seemed to be overconfident about his directorial skills. The movie is a mediocre one which V.V.Vinayak directed after Channakesav Reddy.

Coming to the movie, the movie takes off with Temple’s destruction and the point of securing the remaining temples in India arrives, which in turn, security for these temples and the Religious need come with an Idea of training a security team for these temples. (Similar idea is in the film Narasimha Naidu). Here comes Allu Arjun alias Badrinath – the macho man. The movie has a novel story by Chinna Krishna. But the movie isn’t executed well. For me, it felt like Desamuduru (the interval block) + Shakti (Security of saving Temples) + Magadheera (Background and fights, Sword, VFX)

Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Average and better when compared with Shakti. The Concept is novel, but the Director couldn’t make an impact of the novelty in his narration.

Punchline : there is no PUNCH in the movie. Hence there is no LINE even.

Highlights:

• Production values of Geetha ARTS (in fact overspent in some cases).
• Allu Arjun Dances
• Prakash Raj and Kelly Dorje and the Artist (who did Kelly Dorje’s wife)
• Background in parts (Some are reused from Magadheera and sound similar to that movie too)
• Visual effects
• Allu Arjun Macho Body helped the character a lot and justifies it.
  
  

Lowlights:

• Illogical narration.
• Mediocre Songs (The songs really disturb the narration of the movie)
• Tammana (Another good heroine would have added some mileage. There isn’t any requirement for glamour for this kind of story).
• Narration and screenplay of the movie
• The worst comedy track ever in recent times. (The entire comedy track should be deleted – it tests the patience of audience)
• Editing flaws.
• A costume of Allu Arjun neither matches the story nor the location.

Well coming to the rating, it is 2.5/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).
