Aapthudau Telugu Movie
The role of an angry villager aptly suits Rajsekar and he comes up trumps. This Telugu rehash of the Hindi hit "Ghatak" is an ideal comeback film for the action star and he utilises it to the hilt.
Veteran director Muthyala Subbiah, who has made eight hits with Rajsekar, provides a nice blend of action, sentiment and comedy.
Rajsekar, who had drifted towards soft roles, makes a strong comeback with a typical action role to retrieve his position. He strains his vocal chords in many scenes and performs risky stunts, trying to prove that he is still one of the best action heroes in Telugu.
Hindi actress Anjala Jhaveri does a Telugu film after a long gap. She could have chosen a better role since this one (played by Meenaskhi Seshadri in the original) offers little scope for acting.
Baddie Mukesh Rishi gets a solid role after "Narasimhnaidu" and he matches strides with Rajsekar as the brother of six dreaded goons. Veteran actors Satyanarayana and Chandramohan impress as the father and brother of the protagonist.
Subbiah, with hits like "Anna" and "Suryudu" to his credit, dishes out another slick film. He adds comedy and songs to pep up the slow-paced original.
The story is about the rustic Rajsekar and his father (Satyanarayana) arriving in the city for the latter's medical treatment. He stays in the house of his brother (Chandramohan). Rajsekar is shattered when doctors inform him that his father is suffering from throat cancer. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Anjala Jhaveri as she takes him around the city.
One day Rajsekar bashes up goons and earns the wrath of dreaded Mukesh. People living in the area advise Rajsekar to leave the place, but he ignores them. He helps them set up shops, but Mukesh's six brothers vow to kill him. The rest of the film is about whether he can save the neighbourhood and win his love.
