James Bond Telugu Movie Review

The heterodoxical semantics of Allari Naresh cinema is self-declaratory. The audience has a very defined mind-set and a certain kind of expectation when they barter value for ticket. His cinema needs to be examined from the said defined premise. Even from the said premise, his latest outing is disappointing. The assembly of comedians and one-liners notwithstanding. The challenge with comedy is that the end product either clicks or does not. The effort may well be the same. The effect is not. After putting together the entire story and the defined narrative, it depends if the end product jells or fails. Here it does not jell.
Nani (Naresh) is the son of a single parent (Chandra Mohan). Both are very timid persons. If this is not enough, Nani has a broken engagement with the daughter of a factionist Narasimha Naidu (Jayaprakash Reddy). The entire family leave the village and come to the city to ensure that they are not traced and forced into the nonstarter marriage. He is frantically looking out for the right girl to walk into his life. Narasimha Naidu and his son (Raghu Babu – a foreign returned factionist!!) have however not given up their search for Nani. Now Nani runs into Pooja (Sakshi Chowdary) who is a Don in Dubai who has just had a few muscled baddies for breakfast. She returns to India to nurse her ailing Mom (Prabha). Ailing Mom does not have a name too in the film. She is suffering from some form of cancer where the only visible treatment is to put her on a ventilator. Pooja comes and occupies her palace in India as a quiet young girl and Mom is blissfully unaware that she is the Don who is engaged in an ongoing war with the claimant to don title in Dubai – Bada (Aashish Vidyarthi). As she adjusts her Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde roles to perfection she engages a marriage broker (Krishna Bhagwan) to find her a docile husband who will part take in a mock marriage to satisfy the ailing Mom. The crux of the plan is that Mom’s time on earth is short. Nani unwittingly becomes the prey to the plan. The unconsummated marriage has the usual crass humour on the husband longing for ‘love’ and she denying him his due!! By half time Nani comes to know of the real Pooja but simply does not have the wherewithal to confront her. He plans to yet again be on the run – only this time it is not going to be as easy as it was from the Naidu gang. The Naidu gang and Bada all reach the city and caught in the cross fire of the various warring groups is Nani and his family. Then there is all on the run group in burqas in the old city alighting a RTC bus.
All is going to end and surely you know that the Pooja Nani marriage is one to stay. Watch and tickle yourself for the odd laugh. This is not a laugh riot and the actors may have put in their effort but somehow the end product simply fails to take off.
