Adhinayakadu - Give it a miss..!!!

After watching this film, you're certain that Balakrishna was again looking to star in a film that was similar to 'Simha', his previous hit. Only this time, he has done a triple role playing Bobby the son, Rama Krishna Prasad the father and Harish Chandra Prasad the grandfather. Lakshmi Rai and Saloni have played the female leads. The film is directed by Paruchuri Murali, while the story, screenplay and dialogues are by Parchuri Murali. Kalyani Malik takes care of the music and the cinematography is by Surender Reddy. 

What's it about?
Harish Chandra is the leader of the Rayalaseema clan. He dies suddenly but the reason behind his death remains unknown. There's also a character called Bobby, a killing machine, who learns about his family's background and decides to return to his village. On his way home he finds Lakshmi Rai and falls in love with her. The film then follows Harish Chandra stories and reveals why Bobby was separated from his family.

What's good? 
The much-hyped character of Harish Chandra is fairly fleshed out. Jayasudha has also done a fair job. Brahmanandham was a relief, but his role could have been crisper.


What's not?
The film doesn't have a good story; neither does it have a proper screenplay. The film tries to attract all of Balayya's fans, continues on the romance-comedy track and finally ends up feeling like a family drama – a total hodgepodge. Both the director and the writer seem to be confused about how to take the story forward. They didn't know where to start and where to end. Bobby's costumes were also bad.

What to do? 
Give it a miss and wait for Balayya's next film.

My Rating: 2/5
