'Mahatma' is directed by Krishna Vamsi, and he has come up with a thought provoking
message and though the presentation was good, the narrative was not appealing
overall.
Story:
Das (Srikanth) lives at the Gadnhi square with a group of friends. He is a small time
gangster who is involved in activities like land settlements, collecting goodwill, bashing up
people for money etc. Das is arrested by the police after he bashes up goon.
Krishnaveni (Bhavana) is a lawyer and she helps Das come out on bail. Das and
Krishnaveni come close and they turn lovers. Krishnaveni does not approve of the wild
ways of Das and tries to reform him.
Das joins the gang of MLA Dada (Jayaprakash Reddy) and wants to become a film hero.
Dada instead uses him for his own political ends and Das finally realizes how selfish
Dada is when he tries to usurp the poor people’s lands in order to facilitate the
construction of Fab city. Das then decided to contest against Dada as MLA. He also
plans to starts his own political party. Krishnaveni manages to bring in a change in Das
and he is forced to give up his violent ways and adopt the path shown by Mahatma. The
film ends with Das turning into a Good Samaritan by adopting the Gandhian path of
peace and non-violence.
Performance:
Srikanth came up with one of his best performances and he danced well and looks
handsome. Bhavana was a wrong choice, she was not looking good in any angle,
Jayaprakash Reddy was excellent. Uttej was upbeat, Paruchuri was normal,
Brahmanandam was brief, Jyothi was sensuous, Charmee's song was good, Navaneet
was sexy in her song, the others didn't contribute much to the film.
Music:
'Mahatma' music is scored by Srikanth Deva. The music is average and the background
score was nice, amoung the all songs two songs were good.
Verdict: Average |  |
