How does Abhi Ram achieve it and
where does Divyanka (Rakul Preet Singh) fit in the story forms rest.
Artists Performances
NTR undergoes makeover with
Nannaku Prematho and he is suave, stylish and carries it off with elegance. His
dialogues and mannerism are appealing while he is brilliant in emotional
scenes.
Rakul Preet Singh as Divyanka, Jagapathi Babu’s daughter role performs well, and she has even dubbed for her
role, which has been an added advantage.
Jagapathi Babu is stylish and
extraordinary in the negative lead,
Rajeev Kanakala is perfect and Rajendra
Prasad excelled in the role maintaining the composure.
Rest of the cast including
Thaagubothu Ramesh, Srinivas Avasarala et al fit in their roles.
Technicians Role
Nannaku Prematho is technically
brilliant. Cinematography by Vijay K Chakravarthy is on top-notch and the
locales of London
and Spain
settings are captured beautifully. Stunts are distinct and entertaining. DSP’s
musical scores are trendy while the BGM is the soul especially in last hour.
Follow Follow and Love Me songs are best on screens. S.Ravinder’s art work is
rich and classy. Editing could have been crisp in second half. Dialogues are
pleasing and meaningful, especially between NTR-Rajendra Prasad and
NTR-Jagapathi Babu. Sukumar’s direction is brilliant. SVCC banner production
values are rich.
Analysis
Nannaku Prematho is a simple
revenge story, but it is the screenplay and execution that made the difference.
The scenes are logical, dialogues are impressive and Sukumar has put in lots of
effort into each and every detail.
The twists are logically
incorporated but the slow paced screenplay and lengthy runtime is troubling at
times. The emotional father-son scenes looked played-down and there could have
been such scenes in the initial hours like the climax, which could have helped
in conveying the emotions, strengthening the plot.
Last 30 minutes of the film- the
game and emotional scenes is executed intensely, making Nannaku Prematho a good
watch. Sukumar’s direction skills, NTR’s best performance, DSP’s BGM, engaging
dialogues and top-notch camera works are major assets of Nannaku Prematho.
However, Nannaku Prematho is not
for those who prefer action-packed commercial entertainers and elevated
heroism. Though the film’s plot has common appeal, the screenplay and taking
may not appeal to routine commercial movie lovers. The proceedings could have
been crisp and run time could have been a bit short to make it racy.
With Nannaku Prematho, NTR has
experimented with new look and very different film from his routine
entertainers, which will increase his fan base. Nannaku Prematho is worth a watch
for its unique screenplay and brilliant performances.
Finally
Nannaku Prematho- Classy NTR in
Sukumar’s shoes!
RATING: 3.25/5
