When everything is set for the sale of palace, a local goon gang kidnaps Gautam. What does Gautam do now? How will he manage things and save his family is Sankarabharanam story.

Artists Performances

Nikhil looked most stylish in Sankarabharanam compared to his earlier films, and he plays an NRI guy showing off the attitude. He is good with his act. 

Nanditha is beautiful and impresses with her performance, while she doesn’t have much scope to perform.

Anjali who plays soft role, played the rude bandit queen Munni, and she looked perfect. Her role is brief yet significant.

Sapthagiri tries hard to bring comic relief in first hour, Prithvi plays another hilarious role.

Sampath Raj is wasted in a poor role though provides entertainment in couple of scenes, while other cast Sanjay Mishra, Satyam Rajesh, Shakalaka Shankar, Harshavardhan filled the screens.

Technicians Role

Praveen Lakkaraju’s music is mediocre and the songs are shot decently, but the songs are not timed well, and too many songs disturb the flow.

Background score however is pretty ordinary. Cinematography is on top notch, and the Bihar backdrop scenes are captured brilliantly.

Art work Chinna is grand but editing is bad, especially in the second half. As informed, Story and characterizations are inspired from Phas Gaya Re Obama.

Screenplay in the second half is very predictable, and Kona Venkat’s writing doesn’t help events.

Director Uday failed in presentation. Production values on the other hand are rich.

Analysis

Despite slightly different storyline, Sankarabharanam bores with routine screen play and cliché presentations. The storyline and characterizations are taken from Bollywood’s “Phas Gaye Re Obama” and the writers have made slight modifications to appeal to Telugu audiences.

The film takes off to a good start with quick pace and characterizations introductions, but after a point the story moves now where with lots of dragging portions. The second half is the biggest let down and dialogues are forced; the first half either has not much to offer, except for hardly few comedy scenes. Too many villains and gangs only become dragging.

Uday’s direction is a half-baked attempt, and the presentation is disappointing. There are hardly few comedy scenes that are engaging. Though the climax provides some laughs from Prudhvi and gang, it’s too late to make an impact.

Finally

Sankarabharanam- Not a Worthy One!

RATING: 2.25/5
