KANTRI ---- The Film

Guys,

Here’s my take on an another big summer release this year “kaNTRi”…..Directed by Meher Ramesh – a long time assistant to Puri Jagannath and starred by the young star NTR….this film released with minimal publicity and hype……so here it goes in kaNTRi style……..

Introduction scene of NTR is good on cycle with dialogues aimed at fans…..First half is OK with puri style of shot making and dialogues……Dialogues given for NTR are short and effective……
Dance maatram kummesindu.. NTR proves he is the best when it comes to dancing in Telugu Film Industry….i know Allu Arjun fans will have something to say but I feel NTR is best…..he has got that grace and expressions which Allu doesn’t have…….Especially in “Vaisunami” song dance is excellent….Entire song fans ki panduga….other songs in first half are just ok…….so ala ala konni manchi fights konni manchi dialogues and konni manchi songs to first half finish ayipotadi……Fans feel happy and they hoped for a good second half also to make this film a big HIT………..

Kaani anni manam anukunnattu jaragavu kadaaaaa…….Second half is a big let down……Poor screenplay, improper characterization, lack of entertainment hits the film very badly…..Fans became completely quiet until the twist in the climax…but it was too late….it was already very boring and no one was in a mood to take any twists……

You can see shades of pokiri and athidhi all over…..even NTR tried to imitate Prince in some of scenes and also fights……There is absolutely NO comedy in film even thought it had all the comedians in industry…….cinemaloo comedy “comedy gaane undhi”….It also has almost all the villains in industry…..
The main drawback of film is improper characterization….all of the characters just come and go on the screen…..
Heroines are just avoidable…….Hansika looked fat beside slim NTR….and Tanisha vammoooo……

Overall it’s a disappointing routine fare….Fans and masses can enjoy first half but second half tests your patience……NTR once again gives a terrific performance when it comes to dances or fights or dialogue delivery……But sadly his performance alone could not save this film…….I think the director was very desperate to stuff all possible commercial and mass elements into the film but forgot to write a tight screenplay for the characters involved……….

So that’s it….. kaNTRi disappoints….I enjoyed Jalsa more than Parugu and Kantri….Jalsa still remains my favorite this summer………..

At last some of the dialogues by NTR which may interest you J
