Sharwanand A little Sharwanand tugs at Saikumar's finger for direction, for love, for security when his father is killed. He grabs for Saikumar's feet in the second half of the film when he is beaten mercilessly and declares that Saikumar is the only father he has and he knew. Towards the end of the film when he has the weapon in his hand and could use it to settle scores, he merely forgives and that forgiveness kills Saikumar. There couldn't have been a better full stop to wind up the story.
Deva Katta's euphemism surfaces when he writes, "Aham, aasa, akali, avasaram kosam dhaari thappe paatralu thappa, yee prasthanam lo herolo villainlu undaru." He balances the good, the evil perfectly and lets each character tell their story vividly, distinctly that you can't help but agree with them.
A head of the family is devastated when his son is killed and he passes over his legacy to a loyal outsider, offers his daughter in law in marriage and his grandchildren. One of whom clings onto Saikumar lovingly, haplessly and the other scorns him till death takes her away. There is a wife who watches each character take an unceremonious exit and realizes that her last few years of her life should be spent in a more fulfilling and a worthy place. There are loyal followers, silent spectators, fiery body guards in the family who have been used to slaving like dogs and have forgotten to live like humans.
FYI when it comes to reward them, stand by them or merely become their strength, the leader backtracks..blood becomes thicker than water. In the battle for power…infact there is no battle, support is thrusted on Sharwanand as he is a better player with thought, tact and experience. So where does the problem arise?
In a thrilling political drama, three people occupy centre stage and battle out their goals good and bad and reveal their character in layers that knock the senses out of you. The surrounding players are given equal importance some by being mute, some with dialogue. Watching the film is like reading a pulp fiction, the only drawback being the escapist commercial songs. Deva's awkwardness, lack of focus in picturising songs is visible. Romance is definitely not his terrain in this movie. He would have been better believing and concentrating in his core subject.
The heroine is a big minus. Technically the film is good, unsettling at times especially when Sandip Kishan takes on a menacing mood at the hotel. Splendid performances by one and all, Sandip is a pleasant surprise, Sharwanand consolidates his position, Saikumar shocks you with his ruthlessness, Surekha Vani becomes every woman's alter ego, the characters of Durga Rao, Basha who become a pawn in the power struggle shine through out, the villains pitch in entertainment.
On the whole Deva Katta's compact screenplay and narrative garnished with realistic, powerful dialogues show how a blend of artistes and a sensible story can whip up a satisfying celluloid drama. He guarantees a bond as a narrator between himself and the spectators letting the characters tell their story so smoothly and allowing them to defend themselves. It might be clichéd for people who have seen many movies on power struggle but this one is truly unforgettable.
