Ragunandan (Boman Irani) is a multi-billionaire in Milan. Gowtam Nandan (Pawan Kalyan) is his grandson. Raghunandan disowns his daughter Sunanda when she marries a guy of her choice. Raghunandan and Sunanda have no communication for decades. After getting old, Raghunandam who is going through guilt asks Gowtam to convince his daughter and bring her back. The rest of the story is all about how Gowtam convinces his attha and fulfils the wish of his grandfather.
Pawan Kalyan: Pawan Kalyan has two primary abilities. One is his ability to entertain with his unique and trademarked body-language. Other ability to show intensity and conviction in his dialogues and eyes while doing a serious scenes. Trivikram knows how to exploit these two abilities to get maximum entertainment and intensity (sentiment in this film) from Pawan Kalyan. Pawan Kalyan has a fascination towards acquiring world tastes (like speaking in spanish, exhibiting body language of uber cool guys). At the same time, he is best at doing mass stuffs (the Kevvu Keka baba step in this film for example). The character of Gowtam Nandan has given him a chance to exhibit his full range of acting and entertaining skills. He has given his career best performance in the climax of this film. Entertaining crowds comes naturally to him and he delivers the finest entertainment in this movie. His dance movements are entertaining and hilarious in some songs (especially Kevvu Keka baba song).
Others: Samantha's golden leg' run continues with this film as well. She has done very well. There is less of a romance angle in the film. But Samantha made she that she hogs limelight in all the scenes she is in. Praneetha has done a nice job as a modern girl who is forced to be traditional. Bapu gari bommo song is shot on Praneetha. Boman Irani is excellent as an ailing grandfather and entire film runs on him though his screen space is less. Nadiya is dignified in a key role and her performance becomes an essential to make this story work. Rao Ramesh is excellent as a father and he is growing big as an actor from film to film. MS Narayana is cool and entertaining as Pawan's assistant. There are a couple of powerful and heart touching dialogues given to him. Ali is good as a male nurse. Brahmanandam entertains again as Bascar who instills an award called Bascars (to compete with Oscars) to award himself for his film Radiator (inspired by Gladiator). Mumtaz and Hamsa Nandini did an appearance in a club song. Posani Krishna Murali did a financier's role. Dr Bharat Reddy gets an important role and justifies it. Mukesh Rushi plays a dignified role of Pawan's father. Devi Sri Prasad gives a guest appearance as himself in ninnu choodagane' song.
Story - screenplay - direction: It's a simple story of a guy who wants to unite two families. What makes this simple story work is the setting up of backdrops and treatment given by Trivikram. Trivikram has a finest class taste. He has implemented all his worldly knowledge and taste into creating characters and writing dialogues. He has also made sure that there is loads of entertainment and right sentiment in key scenes. The dialogue writer helps him in getting the mood of scene across to the audiences with humor dialogues and sugar-coated message-oriented dialogues. Trivikram has exploited the strengths of Pawan Kalyan to maximum extent to entertain us. There are over 5-6 key sentiment (family oriented scenes) that bind the entire story. He filled the rest of the story with pure entertainment. Though we laugh with crowds in entertainment scenes, it's the family oriented scenes that stays with you when you come out of the theater.
Other departments: Music by Devi Sri Prasad is excellent. The background music is so good that you will not notice it (which means that bgm goes with flow and don't dominate it). All songs are well scored and excellently shot. My personal favorite is ninnu choodagane'. Kiraak song has excellent steps in it. Aradugula bullet song sets the tone to the film. Bapu Bomma is classy. Cinematographer Prasad Murella surprises you with an outstanding cinematography. Dialogues by maatala mantrikudu' Trivikram form the heart of the movie. The right dialogues touch your heart at the right moment. ekkada neggalo kaadu ekkada taggalo telisinodu goppodu' dialogue during climax stands as a testament. Art director Ravinder Reddy has done fabulous work with house set erected in Ramoji Film City. A guy sitting beside me was asking where that house is located. Action sequences choreographed by Peter Hein are excellent and entertaining. Editing by Praveen Pudi is smooth. Production values by Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra (BVSN Prasad) and Reliance are excellent.
First half of the film is superb and second half is equally good. Pawan Kalyan's performance and Trivikram's excellent story telling skill makes sure that your heart is touched at times and heartily laugh all the time while watching the movie. Pawan Kalyan redefines the entertainment value with his performance in Atharintiki Daaredi. Trivikram entertains classes as well as masses equally. Go and watch the film in big screen to get entertained along with the rest of the crowds!! SAY NO TO PIRACY!!!
