'Simha' is directed by Boyapati Srinu. And has come up with a typical formula film and though the presentation was weak, the narrative was okay.
Story:
The film starts with the story of the younger Bala Krishna (Srimannarayana) working as a college professor. As usual the best looking girl of the college (Janaki played by Sneha Ullal) falls in love with Srimannarayana (the monkish protector of justice). reasons for that are comprehendible only by someone who had seen enough Telugu films (Bala Krishna films in particular). As the first half progresses the screenplay tells us that Janaki's and Srimmanarayna's pasts are related and the flashback starts occupying the screen. The daddy Bala Krishna with Nayanatara next to him and Kota Srinivas Rao playing the bad guy in a war between good and evil about the welfare of the region is the film's flashback (absolutely nothing new, but might as well accept the fact that it is Bala Krishna film and get over with it). What happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performance:
Balakrishna has shown his mass appeal once again and though he didn't show that high levels of emotion, he still had the fire in his eyes, Sneha Ullal was cute and did her bit as required, Nayantara looks gorgeous and elegant, Namitha was not required, K.R. Vijaya was graceful, Brahmi was boring, Ali failed to impress, Venu Madhav got few smiles, Sai Kumar was apt, Aditya Menon was above average, the others came and went.
Music:
'Simha' music is composed by Chakri. For this movie background score adds punch and songs impress though the picturization of few doesn't appeal.
Verdict: Good |  |
