Jai Simha Story

Narasimha (Balakrishna) keeps shifting his base from one place to another in order to keep away from the violence for the sake of his son. He shifts places and finally holds his ground at Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu. He works with Murali Mohan and seem to lead a comfortable life where a small trouble hits them.

Trouble comes in the form of a local ASP who lock horns with Narasimha for certain issues and over the period of time, ASP's son gets kidnapped who will be rescued by Narasimha.

There comes a small shocker in the form of Gowri (Nayanthara) who will be laterally connected to the scene. Who is Gowri? How is she related to Narasimha? Who is Narasimha's son? All these form the rest of the plot.

Performances

Performances

Nandamuri Balakrishna is all over the screen and looks very energetic as usual. He is terrific in action blocks and captivates attention with his usual sway of dialogue delivery.

Nayanthara is gorgeous and has a meaty role than the other female leads in the movie. Haripriya and Natasha Doshi fail to impress.

JP Reddy is wasted, while the comedy tracks by Brahmandam fails to tickle the funny bone as they seem to be written more for Tamil comedians.

Prakash Raj is good in his pivotal role while the other cast are adequate.

Technical Aspects

Technical Aspects

One of the major takeaways of the movie is the songs, the music director, Chiranthan Bhatt manages to impress one and all with his appealing songs and background music.

Story and dialogues by Ratnam are not too commendable as he seemed to have taken the safe bet of just catering services to the masses, especially to Balakrishna's fans.

KS Ravikumar's story and screenplay are good for Balakrishna's fans but seem to be old fashioned for the contemporary age. Cinematography is adequate while editing is choppy. Production values are rich by C. Kalyan.

Final Verdict

Final Verdict

The movie is a gratifying ride for all Balakrishna's fans who would enjoy his antics in the movie while the same cannot be said for normal movie lovers.
