Performances :
Laddu Babu (Allari Naresh) :
Allari Naresh did take a lot of effort to carry a role of this sort. It is highly difficult to handle but this man never showed that pain at any part. In fact he played his role with a lot of grace.
Kota Srinivas Rao :
This man plays the role of Laddu Babu's father. His dialogues of criticizing his son's weight is powerful and will even make the audience feel bad.
Bhoomika :
Bhoomika has an emotional role in the film. She makes her presence visible throughout the second half.
Heroine Poorna:
Heroine Poorna, the pretty woman has nothing much to do in the film except for flaunting her beauty that too just in a portion of the first half.
The kid :
The little boy did a good job for his age and justified his role for sure. He is in fact one of the highlights in the film.
Technical Aspects :
Cinematography :
The film was clean and neatly shot. The cameraman did a fair job in showing every actor and the location in a convincing manner.
Music :
Chakri's music was not so appealing. Only the 'Laddu Babu' song is appealing on the whole.
Direction :
Ravi Babu is known for uniqueness in his direction and that is seen in this film as well. However, he could have tightened the script a bit more to make it crisp. The concept can be appreciated for sure which reminds you one of an old Eddy Murphy movie.
Positive Aspects :
1. Naresh's performance
2. The little boy's charm
3. Bhoomika's beauty
4. Entry of Bramhanandam, Ali, Venu Madhav, MS Narayana and so on is a highlight.
Negative Aspects :
1. Story is really slow in both the halves.
2. Comedy is dependant upon mocking at a fat man who is helpless about his appearance.
Conclusion :
Although this is not a complete Allari Naresh or Ravi Babu styled movie, Naresh's hard work with the fat man's make up and all and the concept makes it worth a one time watch only !!!
Rating : 2.5 /5
