It's a Herculean task when two stalwarts of Telugu Film Industry (TFI) come together and work on a project that has to live up to the audiences'expectations. In this case, there were no stalwarts and obviously no expectations.

Comedy king Natakiriti Rajendra Prasad left a vacuum in TFI after a string of commercially unsuccessful comedy genre films. His movies were always entertaining and most of them are still very funny to this date. One hero, and by no means an actor, Balakrishna has involuntarily become a hero who gives tremendous comic relief to audiences across various sections, barring very few who think is a great actor for reasons unknown.

The story of Parama Veera Chakra is rare and hard to find because there is no story to start with. The director and the hero just know that they have to make a movie together. Dasari might have been a good director in the past but why he is still making movies is beyond me. Balakrishna has acted, I repeat, acted in only a few movies in his entire career. All the other movies, he was just a caricature and a mere puppet used in every which way possible by the people around him. I pity Balakrishna and at the same time thank god that at least he has got the money from his father so he can lead a comfortable life. He's definitely missing many vital brain cells.

I just realized I am wasting my precious time writing about something no one will even remember in a few weeks. So, I am ending this so-called review abruptly. I know you must be wondering about the 9/10 rating, but I think the two old people deserve that for their dedication to complete the project they had started and also for spending months shooting for it. Agreed, they both need psychological help but guys they have created a new genre of films that have meaningless dialogs, senseless fights and emotionless acting.
