Annavaram Telugu Movie
Annavaram is a booster for Pavan Kalyan's sagging movie career. A series of flops were not helping the career of the power star. Luckily Annavaram announces the return of Pavan Kalyan.
Annavaram is an action oriented movie which families can enjoy. Largely a sister sentiment oriented movie, Annavaram has other good things like the value of friendship.
Annavaram is a weapon maker in a small village in Andhra Pradesh. His parents die when he is a child. He raises his sister (Sandhya) and dotes on her. Annavaram is not only a brother to her, but he is also a responsible guardian who thinks of the well being of her sister first. He dreams of giving his sister in marriage to somebody who can provide all the comforts of life and take good care of her. Brahmananadam arranges for the marriage of Sandhya with Siva Balaji, a young canteen contractor from Hyderabad. But the city of Hyderabad is infested with rowdies and a spineless police force is a silent witness to the injustice meted out to commoners. Siva Balaji and Sandhya become victims of the rowdism and Annavaram is unaware of this. When his close friend Narasimha (Venumadhav) is killed by the same rowdies, Annavaram gets ready to seek revenge. He turns into Potharaju, his village deity who kills the evil.
Asin is under utilized in the movie. Songs are not too great. Otherwise the movie is good in all departments.
A good story line, commendable direction, and brilliant acting by everybody make Annavaram a movie worth watching. Scenes where the sister wears her brother's shirts fondly and packs them to take those to her in-laws place are examples of story writer Perarasu's originality. Telengana Shakuntala's enactment of a bereaved mother at the loss her son (Venumadhav) is perfect. Another highlight of the movie is the well choreographed and directed cowboy song. The way Pavan Kalyan seeks revenge by using brain and brawn is appreciable. The viewer is persuaded to believe that this is possible.
And when a director supported by the cast can transport the viewers to a make belief world, the result is: packed movie theatres.
Annavaram is going to pull crowds for another two weeks without much sweat. Movie buffs can enjoy watching Anavaram, till more good movies are released on Sankranti.
We wish all our readers a happy and prosperous new year.
