Bhagavanth Kesari

No fan of any actor, watched the movie out of boredom n was quiet surprised. Yes, it is a typical masala movie with insane fights but it also treats it's women well (except for one scene where BalaKrishna calls Kajal aunty, just because she is above 30, though he is playing a 50 year old) and gives a very good message to train our girl child to be physically strong. A movie where women r treated well is a rarity in Telugu movies. It would have been better if they would have done away with the romantic angle. Kajal falling for Balakrishna just by looking at him was quiet unrealistic but so were all the action scenes, but they were fun. I would rather watch this movie than an Animal.

Action Comedy Musical.

The film may not have a good story but you will like the Action Comedy Drama Emotions Screenplay Note: Some good messeges are also given like girl safety good touch and bad touch, women's capabilities gender discrimination etc. Which you will find acceptable in present generation also.

Everyone Justified for their given roles and NBK carries the film on his shoulders.

Sree Leela is good in dance but could have been improved in acting areas. Kajal's role is okay Villan is new highlight.

Just another commercial movie you will definitely find worth watching. Go with your family for better experience.

Nelokanda Bhagavanth Kesari (NBK) is in prison for a crime he didn't commit. He bonds with the Jailer's young daughter during his term and looking at his good nature, the Jailer too helps in getting him released early. After the Jailer's unexpected demise, Bhagavanth Kesari takes it upon himself to raise the young girl by becoming her father figure. She grows up with a psychological fear which becomes Kesari's mission to solve and make her join the army as per her dad's wishes. How Bhagavanth Kesari faces a villain from his past while prepping his daughter to join army and how long does it take for the villain to realise his mistake to mess with Bhagavanth again, forms rest of the story.

Anil Ravipudi has once again come up with his usual blend of humor and fan service along with the usual dosage of cringe. With NBK in the lead, he has fairly succeeded in doing full fan service in presenting him. Rather than talking about the flaws in the script, it's better to highlight the stuff Anil Ravipudi is able to insert in a Balayya film, which otherwise wouldn't be something the audience expect to see. Unleashing Balayya early on, it's commendable that the big climax fight is shared with SreeLeela than going solo and it worked. Not having the usual song breaks with a heroine was another achievement indeed and even that contributed to a smooth watch.

The first half was over the top and few funny scenes do evoke some laughs. But it takes a while to get used to Anil Ravipudi's narrative here as he tends to try a lot in elevating the character of Bhagavanth Kesari. What was usually a an interval block twist in these mass films, is revealed much early in a random scene. It is in the second half where the film ups it's entertainment quotient and all the action blocks work really well, especially the bus fight. Women empowerment and women safety to a lesson about bad touch, Balayya does all of that with his usual stuff and even gets beaten up by the villain which is the rarest of things to happen in a Balayya film. May be that is what sets this film apart from the usual Balayya lot. In the end, Balayya entertains and that's a win for Anil Ravipudi as well as the audience.

This is one of the weakest works by the director. It seems like the director wrote this story in their childhood and forgot to update it for the current generation, resulting in some inconsistencies. There are some flaws in the plot that don't make sense.

The movie's success appears to hinge solely on the hero.

The director should consider taking a break to analyze and refine their writing skills, checking you writing skills in this movie and F3. Without improvement, the next movie might risk becoming a flop, leading to the director fading away after just a few films.

We loved your work in your early movies, I hope you will come back strongly.

Just couldn't finish full movie. Protoganist is a violant maniac and movie was clearly trying to justify this non sense character. Its one thing to fight to save someone's life but totally wrong to hit somebody for merely using bad words against you.

Also, its unfathomable for even a villain to kill his own son just for the sake some monetary gain.

Typical scenes in movie seems again like a superhero strength of a 60+ years old progonist who will not even take a single hit and kill people like ants. This is usual formula of indian movies and unfortunately thats what is bringing money into the business. People simply don't like sensible stories and thats really worrisome for talented directors. Its probably one of the worst times in movie history.
