Disclaimer : This is my first movie review of 2014 and hope many more to come ..
Story
This movie is a illusion of delusion of a rock star Gautham,yep you heard it right,
Gautham who has a backdrop which has a backdrop of under current story ,this film has all plots leading to mahesh babu which in fact every scene comes up with a challenge to audience to connect with the story
This under current story of a man who is suffering from "Schizophrenia" at the beginning .
A similar movie came in telugu long time back by the name "Naa Oopiri".
similarities :
1.Naa Oopiri
2.Mahesh babu action reminds of his businessman movie .
3.Kriti Sanon and mahesh babu sequence reminds me of venkatesh and ramya krishna starer "dharma chakram "
4.recently released chandra sekhar yeleti's movie "Sahasam"
I never understood why in recent times ,there was no instance where i
could remember one scene in a movie and felt this scene made me to think
but nenokkadine gave me a chance to think all the while
But more precisely ...why would a director make a film that plays with minds of people ....if you ask me about this film after i came home ,i am clueless on what i saw and what i have grasped from the film apart from watching a 3 hr long film to actually know that the 3hr long movie was a illusion to keep alive the delusion
Actors : Mahesh babu is good in parts in this movie,his action sequences does pull his fans to movie theaters.New heroine "Kriti Sanon" did well in the film but as i said the illusion made her dilute in her role .coming to rest of the characters,posani krishna murali was as usual at his best .must say sukumar might be one of the few directors who tried out a movie without comedy but end of the day .people laughed on where the movie is taking them ...with all due resepct sukmar garu .
Technical department : the cinematographer did a splendid job ,he is the hero of the film for me but somehow i could not connect with audio of devi sri prasad but the bgm has been a great asset to the film
About the director : Sukumar : He is one of the hopes of change in tollywood .with nenokkadine ,he told the world that Tollywood has a potential to make a hollywood film but he got to understand that telugu audience need to be prepared for films like this ...
finally the movie has been a fight between illusion and reality where reality went into illusion and brought back zandu balm :)
