Bhagavanth Kesari

Honestly I couldn't watch the whole movie. Typical cliched movie offering nothing new but also kind of tests your patience. NBK tried to do a role suitable to his age which is a good thing but the storyline and the performance do not match. Kajal Agarwal, Sree Leela, Arjun Rampal and other actors did their part with not much of an impact on the viewers. The bus fight scene is amusing. BGM by Thaman is okay and good at parts but no one will remember the songs. Cinematography is nice. Stunts are unreal. Direction by Anil Ravipudi is as usual with no novelty. If you're a fan may be you can watch it once otherwise totally skip it!

Oh, what a cinematic masterpiece we have here! The story is an absolute gem, filled with groundbreaking, never-before-seen plot twists that will surely blow your mind... if you've been living under a rock for the past century. And who doesn't love those silly, forced elements that make you question your life choices?

The narration, oh, the narration! It's a comedy goldmine that will have you in stitches from start to finish... or maybe not, because apparently, the jokes are so advanced that they're on a whole other level. We should all take a moment to appreciate Bala Krishna's valiant effort. His looks and acting are just okay, but let's not forget his courageous attempt at speaking in Telangana slang, which is obviously a linguistic masterpiece.

And now, Kajal, the shining star of this film. Her impeccable acting skills and stunning looks are truly a sight to behold. I mean, who doesn't find her utterly irritating? It's almost like she's trying to be a comedian or something.

Sri Leela, on the other hand, got a role that showcased her unparalleled talent in dancing but left a lot to be desired in the acting department. Who needs a good actor when you've got the moves, right?

Let's not forget the music and cinematography, which are just the epitome of mediocrity. I mean, who needs memorable melodies or visually stunning scenes when you can settle for just "average"?

Last but not least, the direction. It's so refreshingly routine that you'll be left wondering if you accidentally stumbled into the wrong theater and ended up watching a "How to Make a Generic Movie 101" tutorial instead. Bravo!

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.

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.

This movie has message for daughters, but Not Impressed with Sreleela at all, she is simply overhyped and overrated and wasn't able to match up to the acting that the movie deserved and she is filled with overacting, which is a big no for this movie. She has nothing better to offer seriously. She doesn't suit for acting oriented movies or big budget films at all. The real star is director Anil and ballayya Garu for making this movie. They are at their best. Waiting for new Ballaya film soon. Hopefully have a bigger film next time. This movie was a little boring and monotonous in middle but overall average. Happy dussera to all.

Songs could have been avoided, not necessary really to put Sreleela dance as she's not that great as well. But nice attempt at the movie by Anil Sir and Ballayya.
