Kshetram
has
generated
the
interest
as
it
sports
a
hit
pair
–
Jagapathi
Babu
and
Priyamani.
The
other
interesting
factor
is
the
subject
–
God.
The
makers
of
the
film
has
not
publicised
much
and
sent
out
a
feeling
that
the
film
was
something
similar
to
films
like
Arundathi
and
Chandramukhi.
Let
us
see
how
the
film
has
finally
turned
out
to
be.
Story
The
story
is
about
the
idols
of
lord
Penchalamma
Narasimha
Swamy.
The
descendants
of
Sri
Krishnadevaraya
are
the
hereditary
trustees
of
the
temple.
However,
the
idols
are
shifted
to
a
nearby
hill
and
the
temple
has
no
idols.
The
people
in
the
neighboring
45
villages
want
the
idols
installed
back
in
the
temple
as
they
are
facing
several
hardships
due
to
the
idols
not
being
installed
back
in
the
temple.
Narasimha
Rayulu
(Jagapathi
Babu)
and
Naga
Penchalamma
(Priyamani)
decide
to
install
the
idols
back
in
the
temple.
However,
Narasimha
Rayulu"s
efforts
are
stalled
by
Kota
and
his
son
Adithya
Menon.
They
are
the
evil
uncle
and
cousin
of
Narasimha
Rayulu
and
eye
the
property
of
the
lord
that
is
in
trust
being
handled
by
Narasimha
Rayulu.
So,
Kota
and
co.
kill
Narasimha
Rayulu.
Penchalamma
is
also
killed.
Penchalamma
takes
birth
as
Sohini
(Priyamani).
She
falls
in
love
with
Chakri
(Kick
Shyam).
Chakri
is
none
other
than
the
son
of
the
evil
Adithya
Menon,
the
cousin
brother
of
Narasimha
Rayulu.
How
Penchalamma
who
has
taken
rebirth
as
Sohini
completes
the
unfinished
task
in
her
previous
life
is
the
story.
Positive
There
are
few
positive
elements
in
the
film.
Jagapathi
Babu
&
Priyamani
and
Shyam
to
an
extent
are
the
only
positive
aspects
of
the
film.
Negative
Story,
screenplay,
direction
Music
Cinematography
Editing
Analysis
and
Verdict
The
film
fails
on
several
counts.
The
story
and
screenplay
are
weak.
The
director
has
no
grip
whatsoever
on
the
film.
The
film
moves
at
a
slow
pace
and
one
feels
bored
just
after
the
first
10
minutes.
The
film
never
picks
up
and
it
is
a
big
torture.
Kshetram
is
a
badly
made
film
with
no
one
department
doing
a
good
job.
The
film
is
a
shoddy
effort
and
is
not
worth
watching.
