'Adurs'--Not worth the wait!!



Adurs review: Rating--- 2/5
Star cast: Jnr. NTR, Nayana Tara, Shela, Brahmanandam, Asish Vidyardhi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sayaji Shinde, Tanikella Bharani, Raghu Babu, Raghu Karumanchi, Rama Prabha.

Of the three films that released this Sankranti, I was wondering which one to watch first.Since one of my friends called me and praised 'Adurs', I watched it first.After election campaign followed by drunken driving causing an accident that delayed the making of this film, my expectations were very high.

Movie: 'Adurs' is a combination of Nagarjuna's ' Hello brother' and Hrithik Roshan's 'Krish'. Now the story begins with a mother delivering twins in a hospital and another brahmin lady in the same hospital who delivers a dead baby. Nurse plays clever and steals one baby from the twins and places it in the place of dead baby of brahmin lady.

So twin brothers grow up in two different places in different environments. One as a goon, the other as a brahmin. Both have the same name, one is called 'Narasimha'(Junior NTR), the other 'Narasimha Chari'(Junior NTR).(I guess most of you would have already watched this scene in hundreds of 'judwa bhai' movies in various languages).


Then, Narasimha who grows up like a goon, keeps attacking gangs in the city without disclosing his identity.Gangs in the city keep demanding money from rich businessmen and Narasimha snatches away that money from the gangs.All the gangs in the city team up to know Narasimha's identity. However, he finishes them all up. Meanwhile, Narasimha falls in love with Sheela.
On the other hand Narasimha chari, the brahmin boy is purohit assistant to Bhattacharya(Bramhanandam) who is after Chandrakala (Nayanatara). Though Bhattacharya asks Narasimha chari to help him impress Chadrakala, she falls in love with Chari which utterly dissapoints Bhattacharya.

The twist of the story comes when another baddie Aasish Vidyarthi tries to get in touch with Narasimha for the sake of a scientist who is in their captivation in an unknown island.(I guess this reminds us of 'Krish')

The rest of the story is all about how Narasimha and Narasimha Chari meet and their connection with the scientist.

Postivie aspects:


Junior NTR continues to impress with his performance and dance. The song 'Chandrakala' and the background score of the movie given by Devi Sri Prasad are applaudable.Bramhanadam should be given double the remuneration for his performance. But for him, the movie would have been the biggest flop of this year.



Negative aspects:


Whoever did graphics for his film, needs adequate training in 'animation and visual effects'. When audience come to know that it is graphics, why use them at all. I guess the movie crew didnt watch the film after it was made. Poor graphic works let the audience down.
Another irritating part in this movie is fights which consumes 1 hour of the run time.The heroines Sheela and Nayanatara are there in the movie for the heck of it. Sheela can't act and only God knows whats Nayanatara doing in this film.The fights in this movie are very unbelievably bad.Most importantly the story is a mixed Khichdi of several Hindi and old Telugu films.

Verdict:


Junior NTR and his 'Adurs' team should worship KCR's daughter Kavitha for creating a buzz around this film. But for her warning and the free publicity this movie got in news channels, it would have been the biggest flop in the career of NTR.Barring Bramhanandam comedy and one song, the movie has nothing new to offer.If you are planning to watch a good movie and come out of theatre without having to invest in a cup of coffee to get rid of headache, Adurs is not the movie you should watch. Not worth the hype and wait!!!!
