PANDURANGADU REVIEW

Story: Pundareeka Ranganathudu aka Rangadu (Balakrishna) is born in a family of Lord Krishna's Devotees.But he is a womenizer who never cares about his Parents( 
K.Viswanath & Sivaparvati)or their wishes.He was lured by a dancer Amrutha(Tabu ) and soon he was in a thick relationship with that woman.Lakshmi(Sneha) is an ardent 
devotee of Lord Krishna and one day Lord Krishna( Balakrishna)appear in her dreams and tell her to marry Rangadu.Parents forcibly convince Rangadu to marry 
Lakshmi.Even after marriage Rangadu is the same old guy with the same old affair with Amruta.How Lord Krishna changes his attitude towards family & life forms rest of the 
story.

Highlights:

Apart from his Massive star image Balakrishna has his unique record of enacting in variety of roles in various genres.Films like Aditya 369,Bhairava Dweepam and now 
Pandurangadu showcases his versatility and proves that in his generation of actors he is the true successor of Legend NTR not because of blood but because of his 
talent,screen presence and dare to attempt such films&charecters.Balakrishna's performance in dual role of Lord Krishna & Rangadu standsout.He looks awesome as Lord 
Krishna.His acting in this film can be said as one of his finest performances in his career.

K.Raghavendrarao spelled the magic again.He delivers another touching devotional drama,a tough remake of a timeless classic,successfully.His narrative style ,a 
combination of emotion,entertainment&romance ,worked well with this film.The movie has Navarasalu and there is an overdose of Srungara rasam in the first half( as 
demanded by the script !? ;-) )

MM Keeravani's music is the backbone of the movie.The songs,bit songs and the background score are very good.

Sneha is apt &performed well.Tabu looks sexy.

When Sudhala Ashok teja got national award for Nenu Saitham song,there were many comments heard within the industry as the song isn't his original.But those voices 
cannot comment on his ability if they listen to Amma ninnu okka Sari chusi from Pandurangadu.A truely magnificient work by Sudhala Ashok teja.Greatest lyric written in 
recent times.

Last 40 minutes of the movie is the biggest asset for the film with magnanimous acting of Balakrishna and arresting songs Matrudevobhava,Hey Krishna Mukunda 
Murari,Neelamegha, Emani Adaganu.

Songs picturisation is good just like any other KRR's film.

Unlike many other devotional dramas the film was wrapped in 2hour 30mins.

Sidelights:

JK Bharavi's script is good but it could be better in some of the key scenes.

Casting isn't that good.A better cast(for the roles of 8wives of Lord Krishna,Rangadu's mother )could bring much quality for the film.

Public Talk : Good Movie.Worth watching.

Industry Talk : Movie got Good talk allover.Success guarenteed.it takes time to decide the range of success,it depends on how the class receives the mass hero and how 
the mass receives the classic.
