Krishnarjuna Movie Review


Public Talk : Not bad. Watchable only for Nag&Vishnu. Overall, it is average movie with some funny scenes.

Story : A mad woman(Surekha vani)dies after giving birth to a child in the temple.Her mother(Manorama)takes care of the child and names him Arjun.Arjun(Vishnu) is an innocent &jovial guy and a firm believer of Lord Krishna.He&his grand mom work for Pedha babu(Nasser).Pedhababu has a sister Satya(Mamata Mohandas) and she got engaged to a wealth man.According to Satya's horoscope the first man who marry her will die soon.So without telling the truth they force Arjun to marry Satya and immediately after the marriage they try to kill him.Arjun's grand mom dies after seeing this incident and Arjun also want to die.Then enters Lord Krishna..the favourite god of Arjun.How Krishna changes Arjun's life is the rest of the story.

Highlights : The Basic plot is inspired by Jim Carrey's Bruce Almighty and the director(P.Vasu)added our very own Navarasalu to that plot.
Nagarjuna looks cool as Lord Krishna in casual dressing.Vishnu suited well as innocent and jovial Arjun.Music director Keeravani has given impressive background score but the songs are not upto the mark.
Brahmanandam,Bhuvaneswari's comedy track goes well with the masses.MS Narayana,Sunil,Venumadhav acted in minor charecters generating few laughs.
Mamata Mohandas is Ok.She has done a role of headstrong gal always seen in glamourous outfits.

Special Effects : Mohan babu did a small role as Saibaba styled Fakhir.
Vishnu's brother Manoj sung a song Yamaranju meeda undhi Punju(a remix of Mohanbabu's Rowdy gari Pellam)
