Basic storyline of 'King' is a mixture of all other popular Bollywood,
Tollywood and Hollywood movies. Nothing new in the concept or making of
this movie. You will feel a sense of Deja vu. Screenplay and direction
by Seenu Vytla is just okay. Comedy is situational and is the highlight
of the movie.
Story:
'King' oka Raja Chandrapratap Varma (Nagarjuna), heir apparent to late
Raja Varma, takes over the business of his father after his death and
works hard to live up to his father’s name. He has kid brother (Deepak)
too and lives with large family consisting of his mom (Geeta) and uncles
and their family members. On his business trip to Uttaranchal, he is
killed by Swapna (Mamta Mohandass) aided by King’s archrival. Enters
Bottu Seenu, a street rowdy, a look-alike of King. Bottu Seenu falls in
love with Sravani (Trisha) an aspiring singer who is also sister to don
Jnaneshwar (Srihari). To impress Sravani, Bottu Seenu gets introduced
himself to her as a software engineer called Sharat. The rest of the
movie unravels the mystery behind the killing of King, and the identity
of Bottu Seenu.
Performance:
Nagarjuna's character has three different shades and Nag was perfect in
all the three roles. He has given a mind blowing performance. Trisha as
usual looks cute and did her best. Mamta Mohandas played an important
role this time and did well. Srihari was hilarious as a petty don.
Bramhanandam and Sunil's comedy was good. All other characters were
apt.
Music:
Music by Devi Sri Prasad is average. Only couple of songs had good BGM.
Couple of songs are catchy. Choreography is apt. The much hyped 8
herione song with Nag was just okay.
Title song 'King' and 'A To Z' are the pick of the lot.
Verdict:
Overall King can be rated as an above average movie. It has good comedy,
music and enough masala. Above all it has Nagarjuna. |  |
