This Roar Is Entertaining
Rating : 3.5/5
NBK is back and with a
bang! Boyapati Sreenu's Legend is
an action filled emotional drama that has everything for Balakrishna
fans and is a decent watch for those who are not. Unlike Boyapati
Srinu's earlier film with NBK, Simha,
this movie hinges more on the narrative than action. The first half
is relatively slower, but post-interval the movie picks up pace and
delivers. The movie takes place in India as well as Dubai.
Balakrishna
has done a good job, appearing in two roles as brothers. The director
has worked on giving a superb look to both the characters played by
NBK. The white and white attire that NBK adorns towards the end has
come as welcome surprise to his fans and conveys a lot at a time when
elections are just around the corner. The punch dialogues are
bombastic and Balakrishna delivers it powerfully.
Jagapathi
Babu's antogonist, Jithendra, is one of the best roles of the actor
in recent memory apart from being super-stylish. Radhika Apte has
delivered a superb performance thanks to her brilliant
characterization while Sonal Chauhan's character could have been
developed more. The music and BGM by Devi Sri Prasad is brilliantly
done and will be one of the major highlights of the movie.
Cinematography by Ram Prasad should also be mentioned for setting up
some brilliant shots as well as giving the movie a warm visual feel.
