Damarukam Movie Review - Nagarjuna Damarukam Review
Story :
Akkineni Nagarjuna’s Damarukam Telugu Movie - Nagarjuna had few releases in the past couple of years and all of them have been average movies and nothing stood out but with Damarukam Nag has a sure shot winner in his hands this time. Nov 23rd is definitely a lucky day for Nagarjuna, at First Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s Birth Day. Finally the movie has released and one thing we can say for sure, “Late Ga Vachina Latest Ga Vachindi”. Nagarjuna looking younger than ever and sported his six pack body.
Anushka is excellent and she looked very glamorous. Damarukam is a socio-fantasy movie in which Nagarjuna plays the role of Mallikarjuna while Anushka does the female lead role. Andhakasura is the Raksha who is in an invisible form. At the time of Panchagraha Kootami, Andhakasura takes the shape and gets the power of ‘Panchabhoothalu’. Andhakasura will become powerful.Andhakasura should marry a girl Maheswari (Anushka) born at that moment to become the emperor of the entire Universe. Only Lord Shiva can eliminate him. So, he executes the elimination through the hero, Mallikarjuna (Nagarjuna).
Analysis:
Srinivasa Reddy's storyline is near perfect and he is bang on target this time. Though Nagarjuna and Anushka's roles are passive most of the time, interesting storyline did not highlight it much. Nagarjuna must be complimented for choosing different roles in each of his film. His performance is neat and he striving for his sister's treatment and at the same time helping the needy strikes chord. Reason of him hating Lord Shiva was mentioned in a perfect manner.
Director extracted optimum performance from Ravi Shankar whose 'Machchare' dialogue reminded one of great SV.Rangarao and even his looks sometimes resembled him. Sometimes he tried to enact Sonu Sood in Arundhati. There are no loose ends in the film for which director should be complimented. However comedy track forceful inclusion put brakes on the smooth sailing of the story.
Technicalities and Performances :
Production values of RR.Movie Makers are of top class. Cinematography of Chota K Naidu beautified the film while Music and Background score by Devi Sri Prasad mesmerised viewers. Gautham Raju's editing is ok and could have concentrated a bit in the first half. Credit should be given to VFX and Graphics team for their mind blowing work.Nagarjuna goes through the usual troubles of playing a young, unmarried, physically attractive fighter/lover/protector of the human realm at the age of 53. He was so convincing as the Nagarjuna of many films where he gets along being Nagarjuna.
Of the other cast members Ravi Shankar will stay back, but, it’s not a happy memory. I feel bad that after all those lengthy intense lines, the snakes in his hair, the biker tattoos on his arms he got killed so easily. They don’t even respect his eyebrows that turn upwards.
Final Word :
Damarukam can be watched for its high level of visual effects and the songs. At the box office, it will be challenging for the film to get to the success point but still it will manage a decent report.
Rating : 3/5
