Mayabazar Telugu Movie
Mohankrishna Indraganti is a national award winning director and B Satyanarayana is famous for producing a hit movie like Missamma. Both can afford the luxury of experimenting with a socio-fantasy type of a movie. So they try out Mayabazar.
It doesn't matter whether it works out or not. The attempt itself is praiseworthy. Mohankrishna mixes myth with reality. He dares to make the god of wealth – Kubera to work for a human being and give his daughter in marriage to him. That's very creative. But in doing so Mohankrishna loses perspective and the movie doesn't deliver anything in particular. Was he trying to say that a human being can become like a God and marry the daughter of a Yakhsya? Or was he conveying the fact that even gods plot and plan like lowly human beings and get defeated by human beings of superior qualities? Even if either of it is true then why the title of "Mayabazar"? Only he knows the answer.
While the director may be scratching his head pondering over the reasons for the movie going kaput, there is one person who is having a good time because of Mayabazar. It is – S P Balsubrahmanyam.
It's a revelation that S P Balasubrahmanyam can give award winning performances in mythological roles. The moment you are out of the theatre after watching Mayabazar the only thing about the movie that comes to your mind is the Kubera character or more precisely S P Balasubrahmanyam who acted as Kubera.
Sure, Bhoomika's ethereal beauty is hard to forget. But she like her co-stars in Mayabazar is overshadowed by the powerful performance of the great singer of south. Facilitated by his large built, S P Balasubramnayam fits into the role easily and seems to be relishing acting as Kubera. The ease with which he performs as the powerful Kubera is unbelievable.
Raja as usual is good. Bhoomika is sensuous in a subdued manner.
Though an average movie, Mayabazar is a family entertainer. It is an attempt to make a fantasy type of movie that brings humans and gods on to the same platform.
