Bangarraju is director Kalyan Krishna Kurasala’s follow-up movie to his 2015 supernatural mystery, Soggade Chinni Nayana. In the event you haven’t watched the primary movie, chances are high that chances are you’ll to find your self somewhat misplaced in terms of working out the character of relationships between the characters within the sequel. It’s protected to think that Soggade Chinni Nayana should have executed respectable industry on the cinemas and the filmmakers sought after to milk its residual field place of job doable. In a different way, there’s no explanation why for any individual to make this type of horrible film. It kind of reeks of desperation to attain a field place of job hit by means of retelling the worn-out tale of a privileged circle of relatives, which makes a fuss over the smallest of items.
Bangarraju junior, performed by means of Naga Chaitanya, is a normal spoiled brat. Coming from a wealthy circle of relatives, he has grown up within the care of an over-indulgent grandmother, and stocks the promiscuous gene of his grandfather, Bangarraju senior. Now that his grandmother Satyabhama (Ramya Krishna) is lifeless, don’t ask how she handed, he sulks and pouts when his space assist doesn’t display the similar gentleness whilst washing his hair. He’s pampered to a fault, and it’s almost unimaginable for any guy to get well from such an upbringing, and learn how to maintain actual lifestyles.
They are saying it takes a village to lift a kid. However heaven and hell want to be moved earlier than a fully-grown Bangarraju comes of age. Such a lot in order that Satyabhama kicks Bangarraju senior, who used to be partying with the celestial girls, out of heavens and again to the earth to assist her grandson navigate the day by day demanding situations of his lifestyles. You notice, Bangarraju continues to be a 25-something child, and he can’t maintain the issues of an grownup.

The primary time we meet Bangarraju senior (Nagarjuna), he’s taking part in kabaddi with celestial girls on a courtroom full of plants. He’s a unmarried participant towards 5 – 6 women. Again on the planet, Bangarraju junior has received a name of a skirt-chaser and rightfully so. However, in contrast to different womanizers, because of his excellent seems, the ladies of his village don’t to find him creepy in any respect. The ladies characters appear to be utterly ok with him, taking part in footsie with different women, whilst making eyes at them. For a while, we see Bangarraju with hordes of women blindly cheering for him. It sort of feels the entire village is dedicated to caressing his ego and making him really feel excellent at any value. There may be infrequently a person or a girl who believes within the thought of self-respect.
Such movies propagate the problematic thought of ladies as a kind of treasured items, which is bought by means of males who’re rich, excellent taking a look and blessed. The upper the collection of women demise to be with the person, the better his price. The movie provides extra layer to its problematic working out of what are fascinating traits of a person when all of the villagers huddle up and come to a decision to stay the younger women of their circle of relatives in keep an eye on as a result of they suspect Bangarraju is simply too horny and ladies of their circle of relatives don’t have sufficient self-discipline to reject the advances of a person, who’s a longtime flirt.
And the villain of the piece, oh the horror. No, the dangerous man doesn’t strike worry in our hearts, it comes from the best way director establishes him. The villain plays a ritual to hunt the blessing of the almighty to kill Bangarraju. He screams his need to homicide Bangarraju in entrance of strangers and buddies, most effective to understand that the sinister plot used to be a large secret. He then has to kill his pal who clearly heard his rant.
And there may be lord Yamadharma Raja and lord Indra, who’re roughly biased against Bangarraju’s circle of relatives. The gods are so docile that they comply with no matter ridiculous requests Satyabhama makes to them to give protection to her circle of relatives. And those aren’t simply part of the movie’s issues, there may be the director’s over-sexualisation of ladies’s navels, problematic male gaze, unoriginality, loss of not unusual sense and fundamental appreciate for logical considering and truthful storytelling.
Bangarraju makes one marvel what sort of lies some actors have to inform themselves to signal such mediocre films? However, the ones lies should be extra interesting than the tales they approve of.
