Telling the story of two Indian Soldiers in world War 2, Kanche
narrative revolves around Royal Indian Army Soldiers Eeshwar (NIkitin
Dheer) and Captain Hari Babu (Varun tej), who battle for Italy in 1944.
Its 1944 and Italy is losing the war Hari Babu arrives to borders to
serve the new team. As Eeshwar readies troops, we get to know several
soldiers like Dasu (Srinivasa Avasrala). A sudden attack by Germans
through Ju 870 and Tanks thrashes the newly recruited team. Eeshwar and
officials surrender themselves to the German army to save their
soldiers, but Hari Babu plans risk his life to save his officials. At
this time, Hari letters to Seetha (Pragnya) help us connect with
Devarakonda people and current situations. Whats Hari Babu’s relation
with Eeshwar? Will Hari Babu survive the World War 2 battle? How Hari
Babu and few other soldiers struggle to deal with the inevitability of
their defeat. Forms the rest of the story line. the rest of the story line.
Star Performance
Varun tej lives in the role of Dhoopati Haribabu
and in the scenes with Pragya and Nikitin Dheer, he’s almost does a
miracle in his second attempt. Pragnya and Nikitin look decent siblings,
but sadly that’s the only bit they can do in this film. They are
repeatedly caught in one synthetic situation one after the other and
very soon look bored beyond their wits. Pragnya spell bindes the viewer
with her beautiful fresh look and decent performance. Rest of the
characters Ravi Prakash, Satyam Rajesh, Posani Krishna Murali are fine
their small roles. Srinivas Avasarala has provided a decent comic relief
in parts.
Techinical Team
I've seen many old school WWII films from the
different soldier’s perspective. They are heart wrenching sometimes. And
I can feel the pressure and intensity in the stories. In Kanche, I felt
they have started many stories about the individuals and they were not
really resolved or they were prematurely finished. Kanche with no
storyline worth mentioning or some interesting moments that remains in
the viewer’s minds, movie is a confused mishmash of inane situations
reminding us of Letters from Iwo Jima and few similar films. The style
with which the film is narrated is perhaps a new one in Telugu, Though
it’s an already attempted format everywhere else. But the film tends to
lose its grip in the second half and even at around 126 minutes, is a
tad too lengthy one for its genre and storyline. A better storyline with
more disciplined approach and ofcourse, a better script would have
taken the film to an altogether new level.
Coming to
other technical aspects, Cinematography by Gnana Sekhar Vs deserves a
special applause for transforming present Georgia locations to 1940’s
world war look. He is completely succeeded in making the frames look
good in every situation. Music by Chirantan Bhat is okay and Background
Score suits the mood of the film. Editing by Suraj Jagtap - Ramkrishna
arram could have been better. Many portions needed trimming and a better
editing style would have helped the film’s pace and flow. Thanks to
producer, Art work by Sahi Suresh elevated movie to whole new level.
Visual Effects of the film are decent. Dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra are
okay. Production Values of the film are appropriate.
Analysis
Kanche is another film where the plot is
challenging and paper work is good but falls short in execution. Acting
in most parts is acceptable but the film never tries to captivate its
audience through its narration. The story progresses on predictable
lines and things become boring, after a while. In short, it can be
safely said that Kanche is Krish’s weakest work so far in his career
(Only after his Bollywood film Gabbar). But it's quite normal that you
tend to forget the flaws and appreciate the best things about Kanche,
due to its underlying honesty. It may not be there among the best, but
the hard work that has gone into its making needs a dab.
