Director-turned-actor
Prem,
who
made
his
acting
debut
in
Preethi
Eke
Bhoomi
Melede,
has
not
tasted
success
as
an
actor
in
spite
of
making
several
attempts.
With
his
directorial
career
at
a
low
ebb,
the
Jogi
creator
has
been
trying
his
best
to
bounce
back
like
a
phoenix
raising
from
the
ashes.
Well,
Prem
Adda
seems
to
have
given
him
much-awaited
success
as
the
film
is
a
treat
to
the
mass.
Prem
Adda
is
bloody
story
of
violence.
Set
in
the
80s,
the
narration
takes
you
to
the
past
and
in
between
the
present.
Ranganath
alias
Ranga
(Prem)
with
his
friends
are
small-time
careless
goons,
who
is
very
sincere,
like
a
dog's
unmatchable
sincerity
to
a
human
-
to
a
village
politician.
Whenever
they
get
into
trouble
and
lands
in
police
station,
he
bails
them
out.
As
his
politicial
career
was
not
going
anywhere,
his
desperation
for
power
makes
him
to
use
his
loyalist
Ranga
and
his
gang
for
his
political
gain.
As
a
result,
the
Adda
boys
commit
a
murder
and
land
in
jail.
But
the
politician
changes
his
colour
and
does
not
come
to
their
rescue
this
time,
leading
the
Ranga's
men
to
seek
revenge
against
him
for
exploiting
their
innocence.
Last
but
not
least,
Prem
is
in
love
with
the
daughter
of
the
politician
played
by
Kriti
Kharbanda.
It
is
a
usual
revenge-seeking
drama
told
in
a
brilliant
manner.
The
film
is
intense
and
has
a
strong
subject
with
a
strong
message.
Not
to
forget,
Prem
Adda
is
a
remake
of
Tamil
superhit
film
Subramaniapuram
and
the
makers
of
the
film
have
tweaked
the
script
to
suit
the
local
sensibilities.
However,
the
narration
loses
its
grip
in
parts
and
the
sentiment
scenes
have
been
forcefully
added.
May
be,
it
looks
too
dramatic
and
the
continuity
goes
for
a
toss.
As
far
as
roles
are
concerned,
it
is
a
tailor-made
role
for
Prem
and
he
looks
apt
in
almost
every
frame.
He
speaks
the
Mandya-Kollegal
dialect
with
ease
and
completely
justifies
his
role.
Murali
Krishna
is
good
in
parts
and
Kriti
Kharbanda,
whose
role
is
limited,
does
a
decent
job.
V
Harikrishna's
music
is
excellent
and
three
songs
of
the
film
are
good,
Arun
D
Prasad's
cinematography
is
good
and
Mavalli
Sai
Krishna's
dialogues
are
well-written.
Action
sequences
are
well-shot.
Director
Mahesh
Babu
has
a
wonderful
team
and
has
brought
out
the
best.
However,
the
screenplay
is
not
convincing
in
some
parts
and
the
film
would
have
got
a
few
more
marks
if
the
director
would
have
taken
care
of
it.
And
also,
there
is
no
justification
for
the
title
-
Prem
Adda!
