'Jhummandi Naadam' is directed by K Raghavendera Rao. And he has come up with a beaten track and though the presentation was good, the narrative was weak.
Story:
Balu (Manoj) is an aspiring singer who lives opposite Captain. Rao (Mohan Babu). Balu and Rao are constantly at feud over various petty issues. Rao's friend's daughter (Shravya played by Taapsi) comes to India for the first time to make a documentary on traditional Indian music and is in need of somebody who's well versed with Indian music. And the musician across the street starts helping the girl. The boy and girl gradually fall for each other, but, Capt. Rao puts in the blockade by messing with Balu's singing career. How Balu tries to win his love and career? What happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performance:
Manchu Manoj gave a spirited performance and he has done justice. Mohan Babu was excellent and he captures the attention for a long time. Tapsee looks very sexy, she is more of the hot chic type than a pretty looking girl next door. Brahmi was okay, MS Narayana was witty, Suman was brief, Ahuti was hardly there, Ali was okay, Raghu Babu made his presence felt, Sudha was usual, Ishwarya was average, Tanikella was decent, others didn't have much to offer.
Music:
'Jhummandi Naadam' music is composed by MM Keeravani. And the background score was good but only two songs were alright remaining were not upto the mark.
Verdict: Average |  |
