Rajanna (2011)
9/10
rare one for telugu cinema
25 December 2011
This is not a regular commercial film. If anybody goes with commercial expectations, they may not like it. But if one has to watch the film with true and honest story line and narration, they cannot miss Rajanna. Nagarjuna should be lauded for giving importance only to story and not to artificial heroism. This story has ample scope to commercialize with regular beaten track formula methods. But no such cheap tricks were played here.

There is no hastiness in introducing hero character. Rajanna enters only when he is required to enter. That honesty is the true shield for the film. There are no artificial comedy scenes, no sexual eroticism and cheap scenes.

Rajanna looks like a man who sensitizes people but not like a super human. This honesty has been lacking in Telugu films these days.

No commercial Telugu movies can be seen with out comedians including Annamayya and Ramadasu. This is the only movie where you won't feel that the comedians are missing.

Initially many scared to know that there are so many songs in the film. But you will not feel like going out when song starts. That way, even the songs brought an exciting experience.

The scene where a little girl attacks a thief who runs away with mud, a scene where a kid attacks and kills a dora of gadi as a sign of revolt, a scene where an old woman breaks the head of a Nizam soldier getting instigated by the song of Rajanna are the highlight scenes those pump in excitement in the nerves of audience. No entertainment can match that excitement.

It is hard to say how this film works at box office. It is true that audience patronize good films. If they do, Rajanna becomes a trend setter.
