first post one In another absurd scene, NTR and his counterpart ANR are shown giving advice to Savitri (whose biopic released last year to critical acclaim) on how to lead her life. It has no relevance to anything and sticks out like an elaichi on a pepperoni pizza. But the most mind-bending scene is one where NT Rama Rao holds up his son (Balakrishna) and announces that he will grow up to be a great actor. Chew on that for a bit. It is Balakrishna playing his father, holding Balakrishna and announcing that he would be a great actor. Makes you wonder if Christopher Nolan studied in Sri Chaitanya IIT Coaching Institute. | ||

The film ultimately comes across as a political tool timed perfectly a few months before elections. To further add context, Yatra â a biopic on Chandrababu Naiduâs biggest opponent â YS Rajashekar Reddy â starring Mammooty was released last month to good reviews. According to news reports, Indian political parties spent a total of $5 billion in the 2014 General Elections. Compared to such a huge amount, 100 crores on a movie seems like peanuts. That is probably why the entire film reeks of dishonesty. People might vote for a party, but to assume they are brain-dead zombies who will swallow everything thrown at them is downright stupid. NTR Mahanayakudu is a dull, dead, dishonest film. I am glad it tanked without a trace. I hope Telugu producers realise that times are changing. People can access the greatest movies of the world by tapping on their phone. That the age of the pot-bellied superstar who spits navarasas at the audience has well and truly come to an end. The fact that the two films failed so miserably gives film critics like me hope. | ||

However, it skips out the most important portion of his life. It is a part of Telugu political folklore today. In 1993, a few years after the events of the film, NTR Rama Rao married his biographer Lakshmi Parvathi â a rank outsider in politics. Fearing a usurp of power, Chandrababu Naidu organised a coup and removed NT Rama Rao from the Chief Ministerâs seat. NT Rama Rao carried the grudge to his deathbed, often referring to Chandrababu Naidu as a âback-stabberâ. The filmmakers do not possess the scrotum to narrate this event â and it is upto people like Ram Gopal Varma who will be releasing his version â Lakshmiâs NTR â in a few weeks. When asked why the incident did not find a mention in the film, director Krish claimed that his version is like Valmiki Ramayana â it ends when Lord Ram returns to his kingdom. Which is a fair argument to make, but the film ends up appearing completely dishonest in its approach. | ||

The entire performance is campy and caricature-like. The only performance worth mentioning is Vidya Balan, who essays the role of Basavatarakam â NTRâs wife and constant support. However, her character is shown to constantly agree and egg the protagonist. She has the tired face of an actor who has shot four consecutive movies with Inder Kumar. Essentially, doormat throughout the film. One sees a glimmer of hope when Rana Daggubatti comes on screen as the younger Chandrababu Naidu. He is shown in a heroic light, as someone who stood by NTR during his crisis. The film, however, ends with NTR sweeping back to power in the stage after being backstabbed by his political partner. | ||

Itâs all mind-numbingly boring that you could be watching a documentary on an ant-eater on Animal Planet. I wouldnât have been surprised if the makers asked us to stand up at the end of the movie to perform arati and abhishekam to NTR. Actor Balakrishna remains the number one reason why the film doesnât work. Unlike the first film, where grey chest hair peeked out of his shirt while playing a 24-year-old, Balakrishna certainly looks more the part. And yet, his delivery is shoddy. His idea of impersonating the late actor is by raising his voice and his left hand in the air. Walk into the streets of Krishna Nagar, and you will find mimicry artists that will deliver a much more convincing performance of the man. And yet, nobody bothers telling Balakrishna to amp down his performance. | ||

Biopics that work succeed not because they are great, epic stories â we already have mythologies for that. Biopics work because they humanise the person being revealed. We connect to the jealousy in the mind of Amadeus. We understand that Mark Zuckerberg is an awkward, jittery, egoistic man in The Social Network. NTR Mahanayakuducontinues to depict NT Rama Rao as Maryada Purushottam Shree Ram â one who possesses no flaws, always thinks about his people, is a loving parent and husband. He is personally shown designing the logo of the party. On one occasion, he is unable to attend the wedding of his children, so he quickly sketches a hyper-real 3D pencil sketch of the jewellery he wants designed for his childrenâs weddings. | ||

There is no effort to explain the many twists and turns that NTRâs political career takes â we are expected to know what happened. It reminds me of the Bhagwad Gita scene in Mahabharat. Nobody raises an eyelid when the scene comes on, because we already know that itâs a part of the story. This movie is shot in the same way, with an overarching feel of a religious epic. | ||
