It is a known thing that Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has given two important posts in the government to film actors Pruthvi and Ali. Expressing gratitude over the same, the senior hero Rajasekhar who is also a part of YSRCP posted a tweet acknowledging the same.

“Honourable Chief Minister @ysjagan Garu, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving great respect and importance to our film industry by recognising the hardwork and appointing #Ali garu and #Prudhvi garu in highly respectable posts!”

There are speculations that YS Jagan is considering Rajasekhar’s wife Jeevitha too for an important post. An announcement on the same might arrive soon.

On the work front, Rajasekhar is currently busy in finalizing the script for his upcoming movie.

There are a lot number of directors who impressed the audience with greater content and wonderful debut film. They got their name echo with the result of the blockbuster result of their first film. VV Vinayak, SS Rajamouli, Koratala Siva, Puri Jagannadh are the current top directors of the Telugu film industry who impressed the audience with their first film itself. Tarun Bhasker, Sandeep Vanga and Prasanth Varma are the recent directors who made it big with their debut film. Prasanth Varma made his debut with “Awe” which was produced by Natural star Nani and it went on to become one of the best films of the previous year. He is now coming with his second film “Kalki” which stars Rajasekhar and Adah Sharma in lead roles. The promos of the film had already created a buzz around the movie to make it one of the awaited movies. Let’s see how it works as it is releasing today into the theatres.

Story

Kolhapur is a place in rural Telangana which is being dominated by some powerful people there. The brother of the local MLA Sekhar gets murdered there and things take different turns. Kalki (Rajasekhar) is transferred to Kolhapur and appointed to investigate the murder case. When he comes to investigate this, some unexpected things come up and he gets involved in the case. How he solved the murder mystery of Sekhar is the remaining story.

Cast and performance

Rajasekhar has done good work in the role of Kalki but the dubbing for his role is done by some other dubbing artist which is a big let down as the power factor that comes with his role is missing. Adah Sharma is good in the limited role and looks good. Nandita Shweta is fine. Rahul Ramakrishna has once again done a nice job in his role. Ashutosh Rana and all other actors who did as baddies have done a good job.

Writing Department

The story of Kalki is good but the screenplay made it a forgettable one. The dialogues are written according to the screenplay.

Technical Departments

The songs composed by Sravan Bharadwaj are okay but he has done terrific work in composing the background score. It is one of the positive things that has happened to the movie. The cinematography by Dasaradhi Shivendra is superb. The visuals of the movie are eye appealing and a lot of work has gone into it. The editing could have been better to make the movie racy. The fantastic work by the art department is clearly seen in the movie. The stunts and action sequences are composed well. The production values are grand.

Verdict

Kalki is a murder mystery set in olden times where a police officer from another area comes to solve the crime. The storyline has a lot of scope to be an interesting and engaging one if the screenplay is written properly. This movie lacks proper screenplay and tests the patience of the movie. The first half of the movie starts slow and makes the audience uncomfortable until and a few twists. The second half of the movie is better compared to the first half but this half to doesn’t make up for the experience we have had with the first half. The voice by Sai Kumar for Rajasekhar adds up a layer to the performance and power factor to his face but the decision to go for the voice of another dubbing artist works badly. Prasanth Varma who surprised the audience with his debut film has disappointed this time with Kalki.

Bollywood beauty Adah Sharma made her debut with the horror film 1920. After acting in a few films in B-Town, she made a grand debut in Telugu with the film Heart Attack. Though the film was a commercial success, it didn’t help her to boost up the career in Tollywood.

Later, Adah acted in a few films as heroine but they didn’t click at the box office. After that, she got settled for supporting roles and cameos in the films like S/o Satyamurthy, Subrahmanyam for Sale and Kshanam. After a long time, she now came up with an exciting movie titled Kalki.

Starring Rajashekhar in the lead role, this movie released today and opened to positive reviews from everyone. The actress played a key and impressive character in the movie which is crucial in the film. The actress is now looking forward to more interesting roles.

Senior actor Rajashekhar has scored super hit with his last film PSV Garuda Vega and is now coming up with a period thriller called Kalki. Directed by Prasanth Varma of Awe fame, this film is all set to release worldwide on June 28. The makers have officially announced the news this morning.

Actually, Kalki was supposed to release during last month itself but it got postponed due to the delay in VFX works. Now, all the works have been wrapped up and the movie will be sent for the censor certification soon. 
Already, a couple of teasers of the film have been released and got a good response.

The makers are planning to make extensive promotions during these 15 days before the release. Adah Sharma, Nandita Swetha, Poojitha Ponnada and Rahul Ramakrishna will be seen in other key roles of the film. It is produced jointly by Rajashekhar and C.Kalyan.

Angry young man, Rajasekhar is now in the phase of building his career again in Tollywood film industry. Rajasekhar is now looking towards supporting roles, instead of depending completely on the lead roles. Srinu Vaitla is the one who is having problem with Prakash Raj.

The one who can compensate the craze of Prakash Raj is Rajasekhar. This actor can work on comedy as well as serious roles. This feature is similar to the one of Prakash Raj. Hence, Rajasekhar can be a good substitute to Prakash Raj in the industry.

High chances are there for Srinu Vaitla to recognize this aspect and to rope Rajasekhar for his upcoming films. Sri Hari’s demise too is a big hurdle for the film makers to get the right comedy and serious actor on board. Rajasekhar may get high profile chances from Srinu Vaitla in near future.
