Legend ( 2014 ) Telugu :-
Movie directed by Boyapati Srinu starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in it .Just had a chance to watch this film in theater .Lets quickly go to cons and pros of the film.
Cons :-
=====
1) First drawback which you might immediately notice is number of songs placed every 15 min interval which is too taxing.
2) Music was way too horrible and noisy. Not a good one from Devi Sri Prasad. Total waste OST's
3) A usual way of movie opening which been followed by tollywood century after century with no new tries. Very routine.
4) Considering the age , Balakrishna did try hard for dance steps but was worst at every song , choreo totally sucks
5) Normally there will be some illogical or unreal scenes in most of balaiyas film and even this movie is not a exception. Though the first character gets shot by a Shotgun , still that said there are no bullets or guns which can hit balaya's. Even people have guns they dont use against him and rather they will come running to him to fight and get killed. This seem a never changing logic in his films. Just reminded of Captains movie's :)
6) The important lead old lady character didnot give enough impact to the movie .
7) Political propaganda can be noticed every where in the movie . It was a clear agenda and a indirect message to the audience.Many dialogues supports that.
8) Most of the punch dialogues are on english. Some didnot seem that real and not mingle well with the movie.
9) Logic skips are there for sure at many places.
Pros :-
=====
1) Whatever people make fun of his films , there is none who can really deliver dialogues like Balakrishna.This movie is a lions roar and it was Balaiyaa all the way. Such a powerful acting from start to end. Full of energy.
2) Mass dialogues everywhere giving complete goosebumps. Powerful for this movie
3) Few stunts were excellently captured and especially the action sequence before intermission was shot like 300 Fight scene.
4) Second half when the second main character is introduced as Jaidev was the best this movie had. His outlook was damn cool with a OM tattoo in his neck was very new and stylish . His fierce action and his dialogue delivery would attract you in second half.
5) Jagapathi Babu gave a equally stunning performance and deserves a applause too.
6) There are so many goosebumps scenes like the first fight & dialogue when Krishna comes from Dubai to india or when Jaidev meets Central minister for talks & says a small train story example or when he goes into to Jagapathi babu home when he gets released in bail and even that action sequence in railway station lines we are powerful and massive.
7) Background music was equally dazzling and perfectly supporting such a powerful character.
Overall : This movie is for mainstream audience only , those who want to watch movie for entertainment can sure enjoy this film a lot. This was yet again a promising performance next to his super-hit movie SIMHA and we can even say this as SIMHA 2 for his powerful script and storyline. Screenplay was damn cool except those unwanted song tracks everywhere , it was still engaging. Definitely it will be a virtual treat for Balaiyya fans for sure and for his followers who want him into a political party. Seeing this film , we never know if that could be a possibility even. Keeping that aside , its sure a decent film from him .Caution : Donot go with huge expectation and get yourself into a huge disappointment , its a tailor made for mass audience and its no different from other balaiya movies surrounding faction and violence. That said a good entertainer for sure. A Average movie worth for money. Give it a try at your own risk.
