Karthi
has
become
a
familiar
name
among
the
Telugu
audiences
with
the
success
of
some
of
his
dubbed
movies
in
Telugu.
In
order
to
cash
in
on
his
popularity
and
fan
following,
the
producers
started
making
films
in
bilinguals.
His
latest
movie
Sakuni
is
one
such
attempt.
The
film
has
many
Telugu
artistes
like
Prakash
Raj,
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
Radhika,
Roja,
Pranitha
and
others.
When
it
comes
to
the
story....
Kamal
Krishna
(Karthi)
is
a
normal
middle
class
guy
and
he
wants
to
save
his
house
in
Samalkot
as
the
government
is
planning
to
construct
a
railway
sub-way.
In
a
bid
to
save
it,
he
meets
Chief
Minister
Bhupati
(Prakash
Raj),
but
he
is
insulted
by
him.
To
teach
him
a
lesson,
Kamal
supports
opposition
leader
Perumal
(Kota
Srinivasa
Rao).
What
kind
of
steps
Kamal
takes
to
teach
a
lesson
to
Bhupati?
Will
he
be
able
to
save
his
ancestral
house?
Answers
to
these
questions
are
to
be
seen
on
the
screen.
Performance:
In
Sakuni,
Karthi
steals
the
show
with
his
wonderful
performance.
He
has
taken
whole
responsibility
of
running
the
show
on
his
shoulder.
Pranitha
has
no
much
scope
except
to
shake
legs
with
the
hero.
Santhanam
tickles
the
funny
bones
of
audiences.
Prakash
Raj,
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
Roja,
Radhika,
Anushka,
Andrea,
Kiran
Rathod
have
also
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Technical:
PH
Muttaiah's
cinematography
is
bright
and
average,
while
Srikar
Prasad's
editing
is
very
dull.
GV
Prakash
Kumar's
music
is
below
the
par
and
none
of
the
songs
are
impressive
and
foot-tapping.
Even
the
background
score
is
very
dull
and
the
poor
re-recording
fails
to
elevate
the
scenes.
The
director
has
chosen
an
excellent
storyline
with
political
backdrop,
but
has
failed
to
narrate
it
properly.
All
the
scenes
are
bits
and
pieces
as
he
has
chosen
a
novel
way
to
narrate
in
the
form
of
flashbacks.
The
entire
film
looks
very
dull
due
to
unimpressive
screenplay.
He
has
also
failed
to
tap
the
energies
of
Prakash
Raj,
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
Nazar,
Radhika
and
Karthi.
Roja's
character
is
wasted.
All
the
dialogues
in
the
film
had
the
Tamil
scent
and
lacked
local
touch.
The
production
values
of
Bellamkonda
are
good.
The
entire
first
half
of
the
film
is
devoted
to
narration
of
silly
points
in
the
form
of
flashbacks.
Second
half
takes
fast
pace
for
some
time,
but
the
director
lose
grip
on
the
subject
again.
Remarks:
Watch
the
film
if
you
are
a
hardcore
fan
of
Karthi.
Otherwise,
you
can
wait
for
the
DVD
as
the
film
is
not
that
exciting
and
interesting
to
watch
by
going
to
the
theatre.
The
commercial
success
of
the
film
depends
on
how
could
Karthi
pulls
audiences
to
the
theatre.
