Post "Baahubali 2", Rana's popularity has gone to new heights. Naturally, "Nene Raju Nene Mantri" has generated strong buzz as it is coming immediately after "Baahubali 2". Moreover, the trailers are stunning. Despite the fact that Teja has lost form long back, the terrific trailer has created good buzz.
Let's find out whether this Bhallaladeva impresses as Jogendra as well?
Story:
Radha Jogendra (Rana) narrates his story to police inspector as to why he is sentenced for hang until death by court.
He begins his journey in a small village in Rayalaseema. He leads life of a guy who lends money to villagers and lives happily with his wife Radha (Kajal). He can’t live without her and also rechristens his name as Radha Jogendra.
When his wife is insulted by local sarpanch and she has a miscarriage as she is pushed away by the sarpanch’s wife, Jogendra goes on a mission to become big political leader. He soon becomes the sarpanch, then MLA and finally a Minister. But his real aim is to become the Chief Minister.
Current Home Minister (Ashutosh Rana) and a journalist Devika Rani (Catherine) play spoilsport to his plan. What happens Then? Why does the court give him such punishment
Artistes’ Performances:
Rana has scored well in the role of Jogendra and has shown variations as meek financier, power-hungry politician and a husband who loves his wife immensely. His dialogue delivery is also nice. It is his show all the way.
Kajal as an anchor to Jogendra’s life has given her best performance. She also looks quite beautiful. In the scene with confrontation with Rana, her maturity in acting is visible.
Despite dated characterisation, Catherine as cigarette-smoking journalist makes an impression.
Ashutosh Rana impresses once again as a villain. Navadeep in a brief role and Tanikella as CM are good. Bittiri Satti makes some laughs.
Posani and Prabhas Seenu act in typical Teja’s style.
Technical Excellence:
The movie doesn't boast much technical values. Though some aerial shots of Rayalaseema terrain are quite beautiful, the overall cinematography is just functional.
Graphics are cheap. Editing in the first half is neat but goes topsy-turvy post-interval. Two songs composed by Anup are quite good. Dialogues are effective.
