Popular producer Suresh Babu teamed up with Flying Fox banner and bankrolled this project. The movie has finally hit the screens on November 7th. Let’s check out the review of the movie.

Story:

There will be two criminal gangs who are in a search of an animal that suits for their needs for animal racing. One day, they find Bunty (piglet) and decides to abduct him. Around the same time, another two big mafia gangs are also searching for Bunty. Did the mafia gangs collide with each other while searching for Bunty? Did anyone of them succeed in catching Bunty? What happens in the end? Forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

The piglet is definitely the show stealer of this film. The cute piglet can be seen in almost every scene which is a delight to watch. Abhishek Varma performed well. He gave his best to his role. It would be better if he tries to improve his dialogue delivery. Nabha Natesh looked beautiful in the movie. This was supposed to be her debut movie. Though it is her first film, the actress delivered a flawless performance and impressed the audience. Poorna has now become the mascot of Ravi Babu and has been appearing in most of his films. She looked gorgeous in the song. Ravi Babu also made a special appearance in the film and it is one of the important scenes. The rest of the cast also made their presence felt.

Writing Department:

Penning a script with the piglet as the main lead is not a great thing but executing the script effectively is definitely not a cakewalk. Director Ravi Babu worked very hard and handled the script well. Though it has a few shortcomings, the story of the piglet worked big time in engaging the audience. The screenplay by Satyanand is good.

Technical Aspects:

The visual effects have played a crucial role. The team did a spectacular job. The production values are luxurious. Music by Prashant Vihari is amazing. More than the songs, the background music will grab the attention for sure. N Sudhakar Reddy handled the camera well. His camera angles are good. The editing is just average. Overall, the technical team did a great job.

Verdict:

Billed to be a comedy entertainer, ‘Adhugo’ failed to make the audience laugh. For the sake of comedy, they added some disgusting acts which are not really funny. The movie barely had any animation. Only 15 minutes if the animation is present in the film and the rest of the plot is just built on it. But, the quality of animation is the only bright side of this film. The first half is just pointless. The scenes felt disorganized. The second half is boring as the first half. Some of the scenes will definitely test our patience levels. The movie is just a one-time watch owing to the Telugu film standards animation.

Director Ravibabu who is well-known for his creative scripts came up with another such interesting story in which the protagonist and the lead actor is a Piglet. With the title ‘Adhugo’, the director has already created enough buzz among the audience.

The movie is gearing up to hit the screens on November 7th and Ravi Babu has started the promotions. He has been promoting the film in a unique way. Recently, he did Padayatra from KBR Park to the film chamber with his movie unit. He also took the Piglet with him. Now, the movie unit organised a press meet. Talking at that event, “I thank everyone who did padayatra with me. The reason why we did this is every movie has a pre-release event, audio function etc but we don’t have any big stars in our movie to do them. We don’t even have the promotional budget as well. With this padyatra, we wanted to make everyone know about our film. Another thing is please stay away from firecrackers because of them we can’t breathe quality air for a month. We already have so many diseases. So, it’s our responsibility to protect our environment. Please watch our movie. You will definitely enjoy it.” Said Ravi Babu.

Ravi Babu himself bankrolled this project under Flying Frogs banner and Suresh Babu presented the film. The movie is also getting released in other languages as well. ‘Adhugo’ is going to be the first ever live action 3D movie in Indian History.

Creative director Ravi Babu is currently busy with the promotions of his new film titled as Adhugo. The film revolves around a piglet. The shooting has been completed long back and the makers are supposed to release the film last year itself but due to several reasons, they have postponed the release of the film. After a long time, we have got an interesting update on the film’s release.

The film unit has released an interesting video on the social media by confirming the release of the film. In the video, we can see the director Ravi Babu readying the piglet for the shoot of the movie. Ravi Babu is seen brushing the teeth of the piglet in the video. This film also stars Abhishek and Nabha in important roles. Flying fox banner is the production house that bankrolled the project. The release date of the film will be announced soon.

Director Ravi Babu, who justifies the ‘Creative’ Tag’ by making unconventional films, has revealed that he was cheated by a producer.

During his recent interview, Ravi Babu said that he was cheated by the producer of his directorial ‘Laddu Babu’. The film starring Allari Naresh and Poorna, had created curiosity before its release owing to Naresh’s obese avatar. However, audiences couldn’t connect to it, and it became one of the biggest disasters.

Ravi Babu said that the producer of ‘Laddu Babu’ paid his remuneration in the form of land instead of cash. After some time, Ravi Babu learned that the land belongs to the government and despite his repeated attempts the producer didn’t bother to compensate him.

Meanwhile, Ravi Babu is ready with his next film, which is based on a piglet.
