Story
Krishna [Balakrishna] is an NRI and honest man who doesn't tolerate injustice. He is deeply in love with Sneha [Sonal Chouhan] and wishes to marry her with blessings of his grandmother who stays in India. She doesn't want Krishna to come India for unknown reasons.
However, to surprise her, Krishna along with Sneha flies to India and visits his native place. Krishna helps people who ever approach him in his village and soon this irks Jeethendra [Jagapathi Babu]. As Jeethendra sees Krishna, the flashback reveals that Krishna is younger brother of Jai Dev [elder Balakrishna].
The rest of the story is how Jai Dev fights with Jeethendra.
Analysis :
Thought the plot is routine, the director inducted many commercial and engaging elements in this film for the audience. The first half of the film deals with introduction and revealing basic plot while second half has the soul. Emotional scenes and action episodes are packed in second half which is biggest plus for this movie.
Performance :
Balakrishna gave an outstanding efforts. His mannerism, majestic look, dialog delivery and dances are a huge treat for fans. It is a power and energy combination performance from the Natasimha.
Coming to Jagapathi Babu who played the role for villain for the first time impressed. Stylish Villain tag aptly suits him. Jagapathi brought meat and freshness to the negative role, Tollywood producers should definitely look out for him.
Sonal Chouhan provided some glamor while Radhika Apte looked homely. Both had significant roles.
Final Word: An absolute delight for fans blended with right amounts of commercial and sentiment elements. This Legend will roar at box office.
