N.T. Rama Rao (Jr.) makes a point
Aadi (TELUGU)
Cast: N.T.Rama Rao (Jr.), Keerti Chawla
Mus: Mani Sarma
Dir: V.V.Vinayak
THIS GRANDSON of N.T.Rama Rao, is portrayed as an action star, and he displays the maturity and vigour of a seasoned artiste and the ebullience of youth. NTR Jr. is vociferous, forthright and displays good grasp of the subject. This film looks totally different from what he has played so far. Director Vinayak, being the story and screenplay writer himself, presents his subject with utmost care and balance.
Dialogue writers Paruchuri Brothers, incidentally wrote dialogues even for NTR senior and his son Balakrishna's films too. Now with Aadi, they continue their involvement with the third generation. Undoubtedly it is their skill that keeps the audio of the film very interesting. The other technical work - music by Mani Sarma and photography by Ram Prasad - goes in step with this revenge seeking theme, set against the backdrop of the land of factionists - Rayalaseema.
The story begins with little Aadi (short for Aadikesava Reddy) migrating to the city for studies along with his uncle (Chalapati Rao), after the brutal murder of his father Veera Reddy (Ahuti Prasad), by his relative.
In the city of Hyderabad, the story of grown up Aadi commences with his college life, where he falls in love with Nandini, the daughter of his arch enemy - Nagireddy. Rest of the story has more factonism, more conniving, and more violence.
Chalapati Rao plays a `guardian warrior' of Aadi, protecting him from all evils. Rajeev Kanakala in a brief scene as a bad boy of another college, Master Nandan as child Aadi, Rajan as the trouble maker and Sangeetha in a brief role as villain's helpless wife give impressive performances. Keerti Chawla, in her debut role makes her presence felt.
