Munna - A Review

From the story perspective it can be called a good movie. From narration perspective director did not do that bad. Star cast amazing and performances are decent. But still it marks as first flop/average movie for ‘Dil’ Raju one of the successful producers in recent times. When we look at what went wrong, it is the stardom it has tried to focus on rather than sticking to the script that messed up things for him.

Storyline:
Kaka (Prkash Raj) is a gangster and usual bad guy with a good wife, daughter and a arrogant bad son. He kills everyone who comes his way and his pharma co. Srinivasa Rao (Kota) a respected politician keeps fighting Kaka in an attempt to close his Pharma company as it is causing environmental pollution. Aatma, rival gangster, also claims to fight kaka though no evidences of the same are shown. Munna becomes a hero overnight after his clash with Kaka/’s Son. His boldness in facing kaka fetches his affection of people and Srinivasa Rao. Heroin’s love is a bonus here. It is when every one discovers that Munna is the son of kaka whom he disowns in an attempt to cleanup his past. Afetr murder of Srinivasa Rao, Munna becomes sole threat of Kaka. Story proceeds showing domination of Munna over kaka using his brains and muscles, where ever applicable. Munna soon discovers that it is kaka’s plan to place his rival gangsters in order to keep check on people. Everyone gets killed in the end by Munna.

Review:
Comedy is not bad. Storyline even though not very much novel, the narration makes it a bit novel. Individual performances are meeting the expectations. Songs are not that good but they are not bad I must say. Only thing that went wrong is the editing of the movie. It really irritates audience if the background score dominates dialogues. Every scene looks as if it is introduction scene of the hero. Score has been over used for all key players. Iliyana as usual looks gross in some of the songs. On the whole it is a formula based movie aimed at becoming a blockbuster. How ever it just fell short of it.
