Ravikumar Movies File

Another Ravi Teja collaboration. This time, a villager turns factionist to avenge his father. The film suffers from pacing issues and an overlong runtime (170 minutes). The romance with Kajal is charming, but the violence is gratuitous. One of Ravikumar’s weaker scripts. Cast: Nandamuri Balakrishna, Lakshmi Rai Verdict: ★☆☆☆☆ (Below Par)

Balakrishna plays a dual role (father/son) – a wealthy NRI and a village do-gooder. The plot is a Frankenstein’s monster of every 90s action drama. Sonal Chauhan is wasted. The villain is forgettable. The songs are misplaced. This film proved Ravikumar’s formula had run its course. Cast: Gopichand, Dimple Hayathi, Jagapathi Babu Verdict: ★★☆☆☆ (Step backward) ravikumar movies

Balakrishna’s mannerisms meet Ravikumar’s exaggeration – a dangerous combo. The plot (son infiltrating rival faction) is borrowed from multiple 90s films. The dialogue is painfully loud. Only notable for a comedic performance by Brahmanandam. 5. Pandavulu Pandavulu Thummeda (2014) Cast: Mohan Babu, Ravi Teja, Manchu Manoj, Varun Sandesh Verdict: ★½☆☆☆ (Mess) Another Ravi Teja collaboration
