Post NTR starrer Temper; Puri is yet to score a hit. As he has delivered dud after dud, Mahesh Babu and NTR Jr, who earlier promised to work with him, have reportedly averted their plans. Not just these top heroes, no young hero is showing eagerness to work with Puri given his recent track record. It was even reported that Puri was planning to work with newcomers.

However, Puri has recently met Venky and floored him with an action subject. Venky, who is doing experimental films these days, has given his consent. After the success of ‘Babu Bangaram’, Venky is currently waiting for the release of ‘Guru’. Next, he will do a film with Nenu Sailaja fame Kishore Tirumala. An announcement on Puri’s film is expected in due time.

Despite being a star hero and the son of a top producer, Venky has always been a down to earth person. Success never went to his head, and failure never broke his heart. He is the Tollywood hero with highest success percentage and has done all kinds of challenging roles ranging from Chanti to Ganesh. He is probably the only hero who doesn’t have anti-fans and the most loved by movie lovers.

Venky has never shown the attitude of star hero and has always been a director’s actor and was comfortable to do any kind of scene without having nay apprehension of what fans would think.

This accidental actor took the path of spirituality and claimed to be an avid yoga buff. Venky is celebrating his 56th birthday today. Let’s wish him health and happiness for many more years.

Babu Bangaram Review – Nothing Much To Offer From This Venkatesh Movie

Victory Venkatesh is one of the biggest family hero, who never fail to impress family audiences. After a series of multi starrers he is now coming with his brand movie. Maruthi who scored biggest critical and commercial hit with Nani in the name of Bhale Bhale Magadivoi teamed up with Venky for a commercial entertainer “Babu Bangaram” which is said to be bringing Vintage Venky back to entertain audience. Maruthi who tried to make Radha with Venkatesh, which was shelved due to unknown reasons is now back with this Babu Bangaram. Hope Maruthi brings back the vintage Venkatesh back and score a decent hit which is releasing today.

Story

A still from Babu Bangaram
A still from Babu Bangaram

Krishna aka Babu Bangaram is an ACP who is kind to an extremely high level who cannot tolerate other’s suffering. By seeing the hardships facing by Sailaja (Nayanathara) whose father Sastry (Jaya Prakash) is absconding, Krishna decide to help Sailaja and falls for her. He slowly becomes like a member in her family and proposes her for which she is positive. It makes her brother in law Batthayi Babu (Thirty Years Prudhvi) angry as he is trying to marry her and makes a mess in her home leaving oldie end in hospital. Absconded father comes to hospital to see his mother and their family comes to know that it is a sketch penned by Krishna to nab Sastry. Why is Sastry absconding?? How Krishna solve all the problems form the rest of the story.

Cast and Performance

Venkatesh is terrific in his role who has a bit high dosage of kindness despite being a police officer. He entertained with his mannerisms and given a very impactful performance for family audiences. Nayanathara is fantastic as Sailaja. She expressed a lot through her eyes. Not only she is expressive on screen, she is also looking gorgeous on screen. Thirty years Prudhvi is hilarious and highly entertaining despite some flaws. Vennela Kishore is as usual in his best entertaining thoroughly. Posani is nice. Jaya Prakash is good as Nayanathara’s father. Brahmanandam who enters in second half is okay. Sampath Raj is good. Other artists are fine.

Writing Department

Venky and Nayan in Babu Bangaram
Venky and Nayan in Babu Bangaram

Story of Babu Bangaram is simple and routine. Screenplay is good and hilarious but falls flat sometimes.Dialogues are good and witty as well as funny.

Technical Departments

Songs composed by Ghibran are good and the album has some instant chartbusters. His background score is nice. Cinematography by Richard Prasad is nice. He has given a new dimension for the movie with his visuals. Editing by Uddhav is okay leaving some more behind to do. Stunts and action sequences are choreographed well. Production values are rich.

Highlights

  • Victory Venkatesh as Krishna
  • Nayanathara as Sailaja
  • Couple of songs by Ghibran

Minus

  • Routine Story
  • Second Half
  • Lame Comedy

Verdict
As Maruthi’s previous movie Bhale Bhale Magadivoi is a story of a person with memory loss, Babu Bangaram is a story of a person with highly kind heart. How he solved his lover’s problem putting his kindness aside is the core of Babu Bangaram. First half has some hilarious moments involving Venkatesh, Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and others. After a series of comic scenes without moving story even an inch forward Interval comes where a twist which is convincing but not highly interesting.After an average and entertaining first half second half begins in a serious mode. Everything starts revealing and story is moved forward. Entertainment levels slowly decreases which everyone expects from Venkatesh and Maruthi. Director Maruthi has done a mediocre job in terms of script and tried his best to show Venkatesh in a new way and he is succeeded to a good level. He tried his best to inject comedy wherever possible and has used Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and Posani Krishna Murali and Brahmanandam. To sumup, this Venkatesh starrer in the direction of Maruthi has nothing much to offer.

Nayanthara’s Logic for Not Promoting Films

Even though Nayanthara is the most in demand Southern actress at this point, she is also notorious for not promoting her films.

Nayan not only charges more than a whopping Rs 2 Cr for each movie, but she also puts conditions to producers that she will sign the films only if she is allowed to skip the audio launch and movie promotional events. Filmmakers reluctantly agree to her conditions as she is a capable actress and has been delivering hits in a row.

Nayanthara seems to have a reason behind not promoting her films. She believes that her highly promoted films have not worked, but low-key releases worked big time. Producers also don’t force her after she quotes this reason as they are happy as long as the film becomes a hit. Nayan also is happy as she can skip strenuous promotional events.
