Story:
Bheeshma Narayan
(Prakash Raj) trains the
young lads to protect the
Indian temples and save
the culture. Badrinath (Allu
Arjun) gets trained under
Bheeshma Narayan and he
is allocated the
responsibility of Badrinath
temple to safeguard it.
Alakananda (Tamannah)
visits Badrinath with her
grand father to complete
the rituals to her died
parents but Alakananda
doesn’t believe in God due
to her dark past. She
meets Badri and in no
time, falls in love with
him. Badri takes the
responsibility of saving
Alakananda. Sarkar (Kelli
Dorjee) is a Don, who is
husband to Tamannah’s
aunt. Her aunt wants
Tamannah to marry her
son. On the other hand,
Bheeshma Narayan desires
to make Badri a protector
for all temples, for which
he should live as a
bachelor all his life. Will
Alakandanda succeeds in
her love and what
Badrinath chooses and
how he save Alakananda
from goons forms the rest
of the story…
Performances:
Allu Arjun is definitely the
saving grace of Badrinath.
His hard work in training
in martial arts and toning
his physique to look as a
protector is visible on the
screen. His dances in
almost all the songs are
electrifying. However, he
needs to be extra-careful
in delivering powerful
dialogues.
Tamannah looked
gorgeous and extremely
hot in songs. Her emotions
are apt and in perfect
quantity in the limited
role she was given. She
looked beautiful in every
frame and has danced well
to match up Allu Arjun.
Prakash Raj asusual
delivered his best as
Bheesma Narayan.
Brahmanandam and M.S
Narayana has brought
some laughs. Kelly Dorjee,
Tanikella Bharani, Kovai
Sarala, Dharamvarapu
Subramanyam, Krishna
Bhagavan did their part as
required.
Technical Aspects:
Keeravani’s music is good
and background score is
fine. All the songs are shot
richly and worth the
watch especially Allu
Arjun’s dances. However, a
couple of songs are
wrongly placed. Anand
Sai’s art work is
praiseworthy. Ravi
Varman’s cinematography
is on top-notch. Editing
could have been better.
Geetha Arts Production
Values are asusual good.
The money is spent and
that could be seen on the
screen. The problem with
Badrinath is its weak story
and predictable
screenplay. Audience can
easily predict the story in
the second half. Chinni
Krishna has come up with
a poor story. Vinayak’s
direction is just okey and
his trademark in direction
is missing in Badrinath.
Analysis:
Chinni Krishna has come
up with a weak storyline
and the predictable
screenplay makes it boring
in the second-half.
Badrinath strictly lacks
Vinayak mark. The story is
confusing as it starts on a
religious touch in saving
temples but at the end,
Badrinath goes off track
with the story of
Tamannah and her
problems and Allu Arjun
saving Tamannah
throughout the second
half from goons. While the
first half of the film
manages with to stick to
the screens with songs,
action episodes and some
extent to comedy, the
second half of the film
moves at slow pace and is
dragging, with hardly any
interesting elements to
watch.
Allu Arun’s dances, action
episodes, Tamannah’s
glamour show might
succeed in pulling mass
crowds to theaters.
Badrinath makes a one
time watch.
Plus Points:
- Allu Arjun’s dances and
performance
- Tamannah’s glamorous
show
- Picturesque Locales
- Production values
Minus Points:
- Poor storyline
- Predictable screenplay
- Weak second half
- Comedy
Final Verdict:
An average fare!!!
