Actor turned director Ravi Babu is well known for his unique scripts. He comes up with a different concept every time and has delivered a bunch of experimental movies in his career. Recently, he came up with on such film ‘Adhugo’. The movie is the first of its kind in Tollywood as a piglet played the hero of the movie. With the promotional material including the trailer, Ravi Babu succeeded in creating a positive buzz around the movie. The film features Abhishek Verma and Nabha Natesh as main leads. 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.

Actor and filmmaker Ravi Babu proved himself to be a versatile personality in the film industry. He always comes up with out-of-the-box subjects. He recently directed a movie called Adugo which revolves around a piglet. Bunty is the name given to this piglet. The film was produced by Flying Frogs production house and Suresh Babu Daggubati is presenting the movie. The teaser that released already gained a unique appreciation.

Ravi Babu started the promotions for the movie in a unique way. Earlier, he is seen brushing the piglet’s teeth and now he is doing workouts along with piglet. Ravi Babu is seen doing push-ups with Piglet standing on his back. This promotional video is a part of ‘Hum Fit Tho India Fit Hai’ campaign.
