The delay was partially due to epidemic, and later, lead actor Pawan Kalyan played his role as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Originally directed by Krishnalumadi, the film changed the hands, in which M Jyoti Krishna stepped into watching it. The innings appears on the screen.
This period drama, conclusion facts and narratives, often lose their way and feel stretched.
Pawan Kalyan played the role of Veera Mallu, a rebel that steals the rich and helps the poor. The film takes creative freedom to create a fictional story, the actor’s public image and inclination with his alignment Sanatan Dharma,
Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 (Telugu)
Disha: Jyoti Krishna and Krisha Jagalamudi
Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Nidhi Egrawal, Bobby Deol, Satyaraj
Run Time: 162 minutes
Story: A dacoit, Veera Mallu has been tasked to recover Kohinoor from the Mughals. He has other plans.
Kalyan refers to himself as one Jan SevakuduHis political organization, a sign for the Jana Sena Party. On the screen, he plays the role of a familiar son-in-law figure-a savior of the opposite. In the run-up for the release, the producers shared that their character took inspiration from actors-politicians NT Ram Rao and MG Ramachandran, who are known to make social causes champions in their films.
As the story comes out, this personality is further outlined. Veera Mallu is sent to Aurangzeb (Bobby Deol) peacock throne to recover Kohinoor. He is not a common thief. Their mission is bound to protect Hindus, shown that they are being forced to pay Jizya Tax to practice their trust. To an extent, the film avoids turning it into a polarized ‘Hum Hum vs’ story. Veera Mallu has two trusted ally Muslims. The villain here is clearly Aurangzeb. Although this approach can echo the current political feelings, the film does not offer emotional depth to keep us really busy.
The legend begins in Kalluru mines near the Krishna River in 1650 AD. Hungry laborers stumble on precious stones, but get hungry, judge for the side among their seniors. When a young minein asks if there is any cost of their lives, the response hiezen – local landlords, then Qutub Shahis and finally the Mughals.
Veera Mallu’s entry is staged in a way BahubaliBut this is a weak imitation. Think about Shivgami and Baby Bahubali in the restless river. It tries something similar, but lacks creative punch.
With the first half, sometimes mm is saved by Kerwani’s music. While the story feels packed, a couple of the action scene show Veera Mallu’s habit to steal the diamonds and stand for the oppressed. A wrestling sequence highlights the martial arts background of Pawan Kalyan, and as a stunt choreographer, his past adds value to 18-minute pre-climax action stretch. But everything seems flat in the middle.
Veera Mallu is styled like a homegron superhero staring at the jungle animals and subsequently advising on the man-neimal struggle. But without explaining sharp writing or visual effects, it is not land.
A host of actors passes with a little impact, underlining their roles. Satyaraj, Nasir and Kabir Duhan Singh left brief raids. Bobby Deol looks disintegrated as Aurangzeb. A strong screen appearance of Egrawal, who is in the form of Panchami, has a strong screen appearance and gives a small twist. Late Kota Srinivasa Rao appears in a brief role – his last film.
Despite being set in the 17th century, Kalyan enters the frame as he does in his modern films. Their costumes are clear about period style, possibly to reflect their robber position, but she is still different, neither great nor farmers. While she has a screen appearance, she alone cannot save a film that loses her way.
As the film moves forward, the story tells and the scenes move forward. VFX is distracted, even Thief Polish is comparatively polished. The avalanche is killed by fake -looking rocks, and the tornado is said to be low, better. Charminer set lacks authenticity, and most others fail to affect or feel.
The last hour focuses on the fight of religion. This part is overshadowed by religious spirit, in an attempt to offset a story. SS Rajamouli is reminiscent of the concluding moment RRRIt is difficult to expand without giving too far, but the intention is the lack of both determination and emotional weight in the high point.
If there is another part, it will require very fast writing and more confident filmmaking.
