Behind the Screens:

Naga Chaitanya still in dilemma to impress the viewers with his mass movies. He proved in love and class movies. His Career is disappointing except for very few hits here and there. He is still looking for a solid hit which will put himself into the star league. He has full hopes on his release Yuddham Sharanam. Let us see how the movie was??

Story-line:

Naga Chaitanya is on a mission of searching his missing parents. In the process, he comes to know about some terrible and unfortunate truths involving some big politic names. Rest of the story is all about how he saves his family fighting the baddies.

Performances:

Naga Chaitanya is an apt fit for the character and he performed well. Lavanya Tripathi is okay in limited role. Director under-utilized Srikanth's character with limited screen space. The supporting cast includes big names like Murali Sharma, Rao Ramesh, Revathi and others did their characters well.

Analysis:

David R Nathan wrote the action thriller story and helped in screenplay. While debut director Krishna handled this film badly. Film's content looks very promising but the director failed to deliver in interesting way. He tried to make a mixture of Romance, Action, Thriller and Family Drama but failed to impress the viewers. The writing and narration are disappointing. Director missed the few logics in the film.

Technical Values:

The music composed by Vivek Sagar flows with the narration and the background score is good. The camera work by Niketh is okay and most of the film runs in Night Mode. Editor had chance to trim few scenes in second half. Abburi Ravi's dialogues are not bad but very few are good. Production values of Vaarahi Chalana Chitra are good.

Thumbs up:

- Naga Chaitanya

- Screen play

- First half

Thumbs down:

- Climax

- Srikanth character design

- Second half

Final Verdict: 

Yuddham Sharanam is an action revenge thriller. The first half of the film gives us an okay feel but the second half test the patience of the audience. Climax is not so good. Except for few interesting episodes here and there, there is nothing great in the film.

Behind the Screens:

Naga Chaitanya had mixed results last year. His Premam was a decent success at the box office while his other film, Saahasam Swaasaga Saagipo ended up as the biggest flop in his career. He has full hopes on his next project, Rarandoi Veduka Chooddham. The movie is directed by Kalyan Krishna who gave the biggest hit of his father’s career with Soggade Chinni Nayana. Let us see how the movie is?

Story-line:

Brahmarambha (Rakul Preet Singh) is a lovely village girl who comes to the city promising her mother she will never fall in love and will only marry the guy chosen by her father (Sampath Raj). She meets Siva (Naga Chaitanya) in Hero's friend Vennala Kishore's marriage. She moves with him to a condition that he should never propose to her. Even though Siva agrees, he could not resist but then could not propose to her due to the condition. Rest of the story is all about what happens in their love story.

Performances:

Naga Chaitanya and Rakul Preet Singh are the major attractions for the film. Major scenes in the film have screen space of Naga Chaitanya and Rakul Preet Singh.Naga Chaitanya delivered impressive performance throughout the film. Rakul Preet plays a village girl role. She has more space to showcase her talent and she did with an ease. But in some scenes, you can feel why she acts more than what her role requires. Her looks in traditional wear is good. The chemistry between them is excellent. Senior Actors Jagapathi Babu and Sampath Raj are superb in their father's roles. All comedians wasted in this films as not so great comedy generated by them except Vennela Kishore. Kishore role gives some laughs here and there. Rest of characters Benarji, Chalapathi Rao, Annapurna, Kaumadi supports the film.

Analysis:

Director Kalyan Krishna does a decent job. This movie would be better or perfect if he concentrates only on content, not commercial elements by adding of unwanted comedy bits except Vennala Kishore's role. Somehow, you can feel that director is trying to imitate Krishna Vamshi kind of taking. The family emotions give us an okay feel. 

Technical Values:

Devi Sri Prasad's music is good. Songs are good and well picturized. Rerecording matches the moto. SV Visweshwar's camera work is good. He showed the beautiful locations of Vizag and village beauty with his lens. Every frame is colorful. Editing by Gautham Raju should have been better in the second half. Few Dialogues are good. Especially dialogues while the breakup scenes happened between lead pair are awesome and will get big applause from viewers. Production values of Annapurna Studios are in rich.

Rakul Preet: Bramarambaji Kopamochindi..

Naga Chaitanya: Ikkada Shiva Gadiki Siraakochindi...

                                                             Yee Anni bramarambake vasthayaa... Makem raavaaa...      

Thumbs Up:

- Lead Pair

- Camera Work

- Music

Thumbs Down:

- Unwanted comedy bits in first 30 minutes

- Parts of scenes in second half

Final Verdict: 

Rarandoi Veduka Chooddham is an out and out family entertainer. This story is in the lines of Ninne Pelladatha movie. 

The first half is enjoyable with the scenes between the lead pair and Vennela Kishore’s comedy. The emotional part is high in the second half. 

One time watchable film if you like family entertainers.

Bottom Line: Upgraded version of yesteryear's blockbuster "Ninne Pelladatha"
