Annai...bhajana batchie gaade ilaa icchaadante... The film releases in five languages including, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. Unfortunately, it's the writing that lets the film down. The screenplay and direction by Surender Reddy falters at several points in the narrative. At two hours and 50 minutes, the film is a tad too long and needed a tighter edit. The dialogues of a subject with so much of depth definitely needed to add more weight. In the second half, the story picks up, and the real action kicks in. Most of the stunts (by Greg Powell, Lee Whittaker, Ram-Laxman and A Vijay) are far from realisitc, but it makes for a good watch. The music is passable, but the awkward lyrics do stick out. Yes, the film is jingoistic in parts, but when you are talking about a rebellion that eventually inspired another movement of epic proportions (the Indian Rebellion of 1857), this kind of chest-thumping patriotism doesn't come as a surprise. While the storytelling has its flaws, what needs to be lauded is that the makers pulled out this tale from the pages of history and mounted it on such a massive canvas for us to see. nuvvu telugu IPTV lo choodatam betteremo... choochuko mari..
