Story

Siva (Rajasekhar) loses his parents at an early age and he takes up the responsibility of bringing up his six younger brothers (Aditya Om, Rohit, Raj Kalyan, Yashwanth, Uttej, and Bharath).All the brothers share good emotional bonding and can’t live without one another. Manju (Kamalini Mukherjee) falls in love with Shiva for his good deeds. Manju hates large families (for obvious reasons), knowing that Siva lies that he has only one brother and marries her. What happens when she comes to know the truth?

Performances

Rajasekhar is good as elder brother and he performed well. Kamalini Mukherjee looked glamorous. All the brothers have done their part well. Jhansi is good as a working woman. Jayprakash reddy played a key role. Brahmannadam and L.B.Sriram made some guest appearances. Music by S.A.Raj Kumar is Average. Cinematography is good. Editing could have been better. The story is very simple. The screenplay is not up to the mark and the narration is nothing new.

Analysis

Rajasekhar has come with yet another Sentimental and emotional flick after ‘Gorintaaku’. The movie has all the ingredients to appeal to B, C centers and masses.

Story given by Bhupathi raja is a single line one which is very hard to develop with proper padding scenes. There are no additional threads to carry the movie forward. The story line itself reminds you of 90’s sentimental flicks. The story is similar to that of Vikraman’s Maa Annayya (Rajasekhar, Meena). The simple point was stretched to the maximum for duration of two and hours. Dialogues by Paruchuri are okay in parts but it is hard to bear lengthy dialogues at times. Fights are well choreographed by Kannal kannan (Even though most of them were of Wire work).Cinematography was good to some extent and editing can be better. Music by SA Raj Kumar is below average and the re-recording is as usual (a Pathos song hummed by the chorus through out the film).The Screenplay is very predictable and the Direction is old fashioned.

Rajasekhar has delivered good performance. He emoted well in the sentimental Scenes. Sai kumar has dubbed his Voice and it helped a lot. Kamalini Mukherjee is okay as the female lead; she looked glamorous and sensuous in the songs. All the actors who played the brothers role has done average job. Bharath is okay as youngest brother who is fond of food. Jayprakash Reddy got a meaty role and he shares more screen presence. Comedians LB Sriram and Brahmannadam were wasted. There is no entertainment at all. The Climax Delivery Scene reminds us of Hindi flicks SALAM NAMASTE and 3 IDIOTS.

We have to wait and see how the film fares at B, C Centers.

Plus: Family Sentiment, Kamalini Mukherjee

Minus: Predictable Scenes, Old fashioned Narration

Verdict: Old Wine in Old Bottle, Maa Annayya Bangaram is an Emotional family drama targeted at a particular Section of audiences
