Adhineta – Review
Director V Samudra who has brought out several successful movies has had no hits to his credit in recent times. In order to revive the past glory, he has teamed up with Jagapatibabu for Adhineta. There was a strong gossip that the story was actually penned by Paruchuri Brothers to make a film for Chiranjeevi, before his entry into politics. However, with the announcement of his entry, the writers made some changes to suit Jagapatibabu"s image and for the first time, Jagapatibabu plays a full time politician"s role in this movie with politics in its backdrop. The stereotyped story and the outdated screenplay makes the film unimpressive.
Suryanarayana @ Suribabu (Jagapatibabu) has no responsibility in the village. He is good at heart and helps whoever is in need, but protests against injustice also. Sriramulu (Paruchuri Gopalakrishna) an honest politician is his close associate. He wants Suribabu to enter politics, but Suribabu gently refuses.. With a plea from Suribabu"s parents (Chalapati Rao and Annapurna), Sriramulu recommends him and gets him appointed as the Chief Minister's (Ahuti Prasad) personal assistant. Being an employee at the CM"s office, Suribabu tries to help others by using his influence. Whenever he could not do it, he gets the work done by others. All his friends also appeal to Suribabu to jump into politics.
At this juncture, Sriramulu warns the CM that he would stage a hungerstrike to do justice to a girl who was raped and murdered. But the crooked CM, gets him killed. Before dying Sriramulu pleads with Suribabu to join politics. So he gets elected as an independent candidate along with 40 others. The independents form a group under the leadership of Suribabu. When no party gets absolute majority, the ruling party and the opposition leaders meet the independents for securing their support, but Sriramulu"s wife (Sivaparvathi) puts a condition that they are ready to extend support if Suribabu becomes Chief Minister. With no option left, the outgoing chief minister agrees to the condition and Suribabu becomes the CM.
Being
a
true
public
servant,
Suribabu
tries
to
do
justice
to
the
people
and
solves
many
problems
and
gathers
the
public
sympathy.
The
ousted
CM"s
plans
to
impeach
Suribabu
prove
futile.
But
he
plans
to
murder
Suribbabu,
immediately
after
his
marriage
but
accidentally,
his
parents
and
in-laws
get
killed.
Now,
it
is
the
Suribabu"s
turn
to
take
revenge.
But,
due
to
the
crooked
ideas
of
the
ousted
CM,
the
MLAs
withdraw
their
support
and
Suribabu
also
lands
in
jail.
However,
he
gets
bail
and
launches
his
own
party
and
announces
his
manifesto.
The
main
theme
of
the
manifesto
is
the
introduction
of
a
constitutional
amendment
to
recall
any
politician,
who
can"t
live
upto
the
expectations
of
the
people.
He
announces
that
a
politician
is
not
a
leader
but
a
public
servant
and
the
people
are
the
real
leaders.
Thus
he
gives
a
new
definition
to
the
word
called
'politics".
PLUS:
Jagapatibabu
has
done
complete
justice
to
his
role.
Though
he
appears
aggressive
in
certain
scenes,
he
is
okay
in
the
role.
Ahuti
Prasad
and
Paruchuri
Gopalakrishna
have
excelled
in
the
roles
of
politicians.
Sivaparvathi
has
got
a
relatively
important
role
in
this
movie.
Chalapati
Rao,
Annapurna
and
others
are
okay
as
the
hero"s
parents.
Though
there
are
two
heroines,
they
do
not
have
any
scope
to
perform.
However,
they
have
filled
the
glamour
slot.
Hamsanandini
has
done
her
best
to
flaunt
her
beauty,
while
Shraddha
Das
has
got
the
chance
to
expose
in
one
song.
But
for
the
artistes,
none
of
the
departments
behind
the
screen
can
be
taken
as
plus
points
in
this
movie.
MINUS:
Basically,
the
old
type
narration,
outdated
screenplay
and
unnatural
scenes
have
made
the
film
boring.
Music
by
Srikanth
Deva
is
boring
and
none
of
the
songs
are
good
to
listen
and
have
no
good
tunes.
Action
scenes
by
Different
Danny
are
unnatural
with
the
hero
bashing
the
goons
with
single
handed.
A
Chief
Minister
moving
like
an
ordinary
man
and
acting
like
a
goonda
are
beyond
logic
and
dramatic.
Camera
work
by
Prasadbabu
is
okay
and
editing
by
Nandamuri
Hari
should
have
been
little
more
crisp.
The
production
values
by
Sri
Sathya
Sai
Arts
are
adequate.
REMARKS:
Though
it
has
been
rumoured
that
the
story
of
the
film
was
meant
for
Chiranjeevi
earlier
and
later
to
suit
Jagapatibabu"s
image,
the
film
has
some
dialogues
criticising
all
the
parties
including
Chiranjeevi"s
Praja
Rajyam.
However,
Paruchuri
Brothers
have
given
a
dignified
approach
in
the
dialogues
without
making
illogical
comments
on
any
party.
The
criticism
is
justified.
The
writers" motive
to
give
a
new
definition
to
'Politics"
should
be
complimented.
