Behind the Screens:

Bellamkonda Srinivas who bagged a cost failure with this first film, Alludu Seenu and his next with a big disaster with Speedunnodu, the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster, Sundarapandian. Star Director, Boyapati Srinu who gave superhit film saraainodu last year and now he teamed up with Srinivas for a film, Jaya Janaki Nayaka which released yesterday. Let us see how the film is??

Story-line:

Gagan (Bellamkonda Srinivas) is a happy loving college student who lives happily with his father Chakravarthy (Sarath Kumar) and Brother (Nandu). Gagan happens to meet Sweety (Rakul Preet Singh) and they fall in love. But Problems araises for her from Aswinth Narayan (Jagapathi Babu) when everything looks fine. What Gagan does to save her forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Bellamkonda Srinivas carried his character throughout the film. He excelled in emotional scenes. He delivered dialogues effortlessly. He excelled in action and dance moves too. Rakul Preet Singh is seen in a role similar to her character in Sarainodu. Pragya Jaiswal is Super Hot. Jagapathi Babu is seen as a Stylish Villain. His introduction scenes are impressive. Sarath Kumar and Nandu are impressive. Vani Viswanath gets a disappointing role in her comeback film. Tarun Arora is good as a villain.

Analysis:

Boyapati srinu is well known for handling  a mass masala movies. He made a film with his own strengths. He should have used the twists and turns better. This story mixed of  his mark action sequences and emotions. All the action sequences and the scenes leading to them are well-written. Hamsaladeevi action sequence is one of the best in recent times. Pre-climax and climax have Boyapati mark all over. A better hero would have taken the film to next level.

Technical values:

Devi Sri Prasad’s music is good.Veede Veede Song is too good. Theme story apt to story which is good. Background score is impressive. Rishi Punjabi’s Camera work is good. Action sequences are well framed. Editingis could have been better. M Ratnam’s dialogues are effective. Production Values are grand.

Thumbs Up:

- Srinivas

- Action sequences

- Music

Thumbs down:

- Uneven flows of first half

- Routine story

- Treatment

- Editing

Final verdict:

Jaya Janaki Nayaka is Boyapati Mark Mass Entertainer which has normal love story in which hero does everything to save the heroine. 

If your fan of mass masala entertainers then this is for you. Other wise skip it without any doubt.
