Andhra Pradesh   

A monotonous film with a weak storyline

Film: Vikramarkudu ( Telugu)

Cast: Ravi Teja, Anushka, Ajay, Vineeth Kumar

Screenplay & Direction: S.S. Rajamouli

Director Rajamouli's is known for his unique style while Ravi Teja is considered a director's actor. However, the current film of this combination fails to leave a mark. Despite good taking, the film's storyline is weak. Attili Sattipandu (Ravi Teja) is a wayward guy and earns a fortune by cheating people. His uncle (Brahmanandam) is his assistant. He falls in love with Neeraja Guruswamy (Anushka) who reciprocates his love. Satti reveals to Neeraja that he is a cheat but promises to lead a decent life after marriage. At this juncture, he comes across a small girl called Neha (Baby Neha), who claims Sattipandu as her father. He tries to get rid of her, but in vain. At this juncture, he is attacked by some people and is saved by his look-alike Vikram Singh Rathode, who succumbs to the injuries sustained in the attack.

Mahanti (Rajiv Kanakala) reveals to Satti that Vikram was a DCP in Chambal Valley of Madhya Pradesh and saved the people of Deogarh from the clutches of Bhaooji and his brother Titla Bhai. In order to save his daughter, they help Neha reach Sattipandu. The rest of the story deals with how Sattibabu teaches a lesson to Bhaooji and Titla Bhai.

Ravi Teja is his usual self in the dual role. Rithika plays the role of a police officer, while Rajiv Kanakala also gave his best. Prakash Raj and Jayaprakash Reddy appear in a couple of scenes, which are impressive. A couple of songs are good to listen.
