relation with his father. He falls in love with Anjali (Sameera Reddy). KK (Sonu Sood) is a big
gangster who sets his eyes on Anjali. Ashok wins Anjali through love and KK wants to force her into a
marriage. The rest of the story is all about how Ashok eliminates the baddies.
Analysis :
NTR: NTR changed his style in this film. His dialogue delivery mellowed down a bit and
istrionics are little subtle. NTR’s wardrobe is good in this film. NTR kind of dances are there in two
mass songs (3rd - Gola Gola & 6th - Nuvvesukunna dress) to entertain the masses. His performance in hospital when Rajiv Kanakala dies is very good.AshokOthers: Sameera Reddy is adequate as heroine. Prakash Raj is pretty good in a vital role. Sonu Sood is perfect as the main villain. Jeeva steals the show as a comic baddy. Supreet (Chatrapati fame) is good as villain’s brother. Raghu Babu is neat. Rajiv Kanakala has an important role.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is Ok and second half is decent. The beginning part of the film, interval episode and lead episodes to climax are good. The plus points are NTR, Surender’s screenplay and taking, Cinematography and grand production values. The major drawbacks of the film is lack of
entertainment in terms of comedy, too much of action orientation and excessive violence. On a whole, Ashok is a decent film.
