Mahesh KHALEJA(Telugu)-Review

Mahesh-KHALEJA

             Mahesh Khaleja, a telugu film which came out with huge expectations because of Mahesh’s screen presence after three years and his team up with Trivikram srinivas after massive hit Athadu.

Paleru is a village in northern Andhra Pradesh which is affected very badly with the contamination of water and air. Lot of villagers die with new diseases and deaths keep going. The reason for the deaths is found to be the GK plastic factory located nearby and their false practices.

            The film story starts with village head/Swamiji (Rao Ramesh) and his men looking for a person (known to be their GOD) who can stop these deaths. Swamiji’s disciple siddappa starts his journey in search of their GOD who can save their lives. He finally reaches Rajasthan.

              Alluri sitaramaraju/Raju is a taxi driver who works for orange cabs. After continuous accidents done by subhasini(Anushka) ,he feels that she is a trouble to him and he stays away from her. His Cab gets damaged when he tries to rescue one of his passengers after the murder of other passenger who is a geologist. This incident leads raju to go to rajasthan to recover his money,where he again meet subbhashini and usually love develops between them. Some unknown people injure raju and tries to kill him but he fights back. Injured Raju meets siddappa who feel that Raju is the god who came to rescue his village and takes him to the village and treats him. Everyone worship Raju as their god, which he hates and runaway from village. Siddappa follows him to city and raju keeps few tests to check whether he is a really god. All tests prove positive. He accepts to help PALERU villagers.Raju starts finding out the reasons for the deaths in Paleru. He finds out that GK (Prakash Raj), an industrialist is leaving poisonous chemicals into water to kill all the villagers and dig the village for the newly found Iridium by the geologist. Action starts from then....and it goes till evil dies :)

          Mahesh who made his screen presence after the gap of three long years looks charming and has done a tremendous job. He is the main driving factor for the film. He did a fantastic comedy, stunts, and dances. His screen presence was worth watching. Anushka looks very beautiful and has some role to play for entertainment part in the first half. Prakash Raj performance was short and good. Needless to mention performances of remaining cast because there is nothing new for them to do.

           Trivikram who is known for his entertainment in his films tried to give the whole package of mass entertainer. However a dull screenplay in the second half beginning spoiled the tempo. But I feel he succeeded in giving reasoning to all the unrelated incidents which occur in the first half of the film. His mark of entertainment and action sequences is worth watching. Cinematography of Yash Bhatt who is known in Hollywood circles did a tremendous camera work. A better editing in the second half by Sreekar Prasad would add little more interest to the film. Music by Mani sharma is a big letdown. Producer Singanamala Ramesh who also produced KOMARAM PULI would be happy if the film really attracts masses.

Watch it for Mahesh entertainment and Trivikram mark comedy. Happy weekend.

Cheers!!,
Praveen.
