Behind the screens:

Vijay Devarakonda who created the sensation with Pelli Choopulu is now coming to entertain with Dwaraka. Let us see whether Dwaraka lived up to the huge expectations around film circles and audience. 

Story:

Erra Seenu (Vijay Devarakonda) a petty thief finds his life changed completely when Criminal lawyer Ravi(Prabhakar), Gurumurthi (Pruthvi) and others turn him Krishnananda Swamy in Dwaraka apartments. Even though he tries to come out of this role, he couldn’t as he was forced to be as spiritual guru by various influential persons for their selfish deeds. Watch Dwaraka to findout how Erra Seenu escapes from this spiritual prison to lead love life with Vasudha (Pooja Jhaveri). 

Performances:

Vijay Devarakonda who stole the hearts with his performance in Pelli Chopulu, now he showed his acting once again. Though the role is quite complicated to play, he succeeded by doing full justice. He showed various emotions and expressions in his role. His body language is good. Pooja Jhaveri is attractive in traditional looks. Pruthvi attracted as a spiritual guru with settled acting. Prabhakar did his role with an ease as a negative baddie. Murali Sharma is apt in his role as an atheist. Prakash Raj made a powerful impact in a limited role in the climax. Others played according to their roles. 

Analysis:

Director Srinivas Ravindra gave a powerful message to the society exposing how Baba’s, politicians, industrialists play with the beliefs of the people with his story. Story has shades of Rajendra prasad's Ayyare film. And the same time director failed to come with a strong story with the weak screenplay and dragged narration. Story lacked clarity in the climax scenes. 

Technical values: 

Sai Karthik attracted with his music. One melody song "Entha vichithram..' is good. Songs are speed breakers to story narration. Background score is okay. Cinematography is beautiful. Editing could have been better. Editor had chance to cut few scenes in both halves. Few dialogues thought provoking. Production values are good. 

Thumbs Up:

- Vijay Devarakonda

- Cinematography 

Thumbs Down:

- Boring screenplay

- Dragged narration

- Editing

- Songs placement

Final Verdict:

Dwaraka movie is all about fake Babas in the society. 

Skip this movie strictly.
