Behind the Screens:

Tollywood creative director krishna vamsi is going through a very lean patch of career.  He is joining hands with Sundeep Kishan and Sai Dharam Tej who are also desperately in need of big hits with ‘Nakshatram’. Let us see how the movie, ‘Nakshatram’??

Story-line:

Rama Rao (Sundeep Kishan) hails from a Police family and aspires to join the department. He never tolerates a word on the department. One day, he gets into a fight with Commissioner’s son, Rahul (Tanish) as the latter beats a Policeman. Rahul ensures that Rama Rao does not get placed. Disappointed Rama Rao tries to commit suicide but realizes in the last minute, once can serve justice even without being a Police. But then Rama Rao lands himself in a Bomb Blast Case. What happens next in his life forms the next.

Performances:

Actors always treat Krishna Vamsi’s film as a milestone in actor's careers as the director is known to project the best in them. Sundeep Kishan impresses as a mass guy and also did a decent performance in emotional scenes. Sai Dharam Tej is good in a 30 minutes role. Regina cassandra is only limited to glamour while Pragya Jaiswal also got to perform some action along with skin show. Prakash Raj, JD Chakravarthy, Sivaji Raja and Raghu babu are good in the roles.

Analysis:

Krishna Vamsi’s last film released three years ago i.e govindhudu andarivadele which is flop at boxoffice and ‘Nakshatram’ is important film for his career. He disappointed with his screenplay and direction. He lost his charm as he is famous in. The lack of clarity and depth in characterizations which ensured that the audience is not involved in the story. The director touched the actual story only in the second half. Even though the pre-climax and climax portions are impressive, the experience is disappointing as a whole.

Technical Values:

Music is okay and are glamorously shot. Mani Sharma's background score is impressive as usual but loud. Camera work is disappointing all through with heavy colors. Editor had chance to trim few scenes. The Production Values are appropriate.

Thumbs Up:

- Concept

- Climax

Thumbs Down: 

- Camera work

- Dubbing

- Runtime

- Screenplay

- Treatment of Characterizations

Final Verdict: 

Nakshatram has crime, love, addiction and Patriotism like his previous films but is not blended impressively. 

Krishna Vamsi has come up with an honest concept but the screen-play and treatment of the characters is totally disappointing.

Yet another disappointment film from director krishna vamsi

Bottom-line: Chukkalu Chupinchina 'Naksathram'
