Devaraya Review : Analysis
Handling a film with Socio-Fantasy theme demands quite hard work, big budget and risky at box office. Makers of this film and the debut director should be appreciated for their bravery in dealing with the story of great king 'Sri Krishna Devaraya'. Devaraya has great place in the hearts of Telugu's, Legendary performances by NTR and SVR as Devaraya made him much respectable iconic figures of Telugu land. Movie takes-off on jolly note with few comedy scenes. First half filled with three songs, little skin show from heroines, along with tiny entertainment quotient which make you feel the movie as above-average-non-boring one. Second half is where the untold story of king Sri Krishnadevaraya comes into play and director failed to bring required royalness and rich look to ‘Devaraya’ character. Short time-span of most spoken flash back episodes didn't gave required run time to elevate Devaraya character. Reincarnation part of Dorababu as ‘Devaraya’ supposed to be key part of the film but stands out to be one of the boring episode. Graphics work was disappointing. Followed with wonderful performance from Srikanth, This story could have been better told as a chandamama tale by taking 'some king' reference but bringing 'Sri Krishnadevaraya' into story and not handling the episode properly are big let downs.
