Bottom Line: Nag and Nani in top form with this entertaining Devadas.
Story
After delivering two back to back hits with Bhale Manchi Roju and
Shamantakamani, young maker Sriram Aditya is back on screens this time
with a multistarrer Devadas, starring King Nagarjuna and Natural Star
Nani both of whom are in need of a hit after their miserable last
outings Officer and Krishnarjuna Yuddham respectively, Here;s team AP
Herald's first on net Devadas review.
Das
(Nani) is leading a peaceful life as a doctor in a hospital with his
love for Pooja (Rashmika Mandanna). Enters the don Deva (Nagarjuna), who
has a rivalry with Dada (Sarathkumar) and his son (Naveen Chandra) and
David(Kunal Kapoor) gangs, and after a shootout, Das rescues Deva, and
the duo gets to know each other. Now Deva tries to help Das in his love,
and Das too sets out on a mission to unite Deva with his love
Jahnavi(Aakanksha Singh). However Dada and David are not calm enough to
leave Deva at peace, and they trouble him, and now Das too gets
embroiled in the crime web due to his attempts to help Deva. Was Das
able to unite with Pooja and unite Jahnavi with Deva, and was Deva able
to bump off Dada and gang and return to a peaceful life, and whether
Devadas ultimately achieved their desires is what the humorous
entertainer is all about.
Star Performance
King Nagarjuna looks stylish and dapper and as Deva the don, he has
a strong screen presence, and he excels be it in the action episodes or
in the humorous scenes with Nani, or the places where he tries to
romance Aakanksha, and shows a wide variety, Nani, as the innocent Das
in trouble, and as the doctor who falls for the charming Rashmika and
finds it tough to express is apt. Rashmika Mandanna and Aakanksha Singh
don't have much to do but the two girls look gorgeous on screen playing
perfect eye candies. Sarathkumar is menacing, while Naveen Chandra and
Kunal Kapoor provide him ample support. The rest of the cast including
Avasarala Srinivas, Naresh, and Vennela Kishore are adequate.
Techinical Team
Background score by Manisharma is massy
and perfect for the theme of the movie, and especially elevates Deva
very well, while the same cannot be said of his songs, as none of the
songs except Emo and Lakumira
appeal. Cinematography by Shamdat Sainudeen captures the grand canvas
of the multistarrer effectively and presents Devadas as a visually
appealing outing. Editing by Prawin Pudi is taut and makes sure Devadas is tight.
Analysis
Sriram Aditya has returned after two movies with smaller heroes, this
time with the more established and talented Nagarjuna and Nani, and at a
situation when both demand big hits in their career after setbacks, and
he has delivered it well. Be it the variation in characters between Nag
as the don or
Nani as the doctor, Sriram Aditya has perfectly differentiated the duo
to give them ample scope to offer a treat for their respective fans, and
with the humour
being laced throughout screenplay and the twists and turns in the
second half, after a normally paced first half establishing numerous
characters, Devadas is entertaining and gripping.
With
a decently paced screenplay, and with Nag and Nani in top form along
with pretty girls Rashmika and Aakanksha, despite drags at several
places in the first half, and the unwarranted song placements with none
of the songs appealing, with the help of a good technical team including
Shamdat Sainudeen and Prawin, Srirarm Aditya has ensured Devadas is a complete entertainment package with humour and action. All said, Nag and Nani return to winning ways finally with Devadas.
