Performance
Venkatesh is terrific in his role who has a bit high dosage of kindness despite being a police officer. He entertained with his mannerisms and given a very impactful performance for family audiences. Nayanathara is fantastic as Sailaja. She expressed a lot through her eyes. Not only she is expressive on screen, she is also looking gorgeous on screen. Thirty years Prudhvi is hilarious and highly entertaining despite some flaws. Vennela Kishore is as usual in his best entertaining thoroughly. Posani is nice. Jaya Prakash is good as Nayanathara’s father. Brahmanandam who enters in second half is okay. Sampath Raj is good. Other artists are fine.
techinical Performance
Songs composed by Ghibran are good and the album has some instant chartbusters. His background score is nice. Cinematography by Richard Prasad is nice. He has given a new dimension for the movie with his visuals. Editing by Uddhav is okay leaving some more behind to do. Stunts and action sequences are choreographed well. Production values are rich.
Plus Points:
- Victory Venkatesh as Krishna
- Nayanathara as Sailaja
- Couple of songs by Ghibran
Minus Points:
- Routine Story
- Second Half
- Lame Comedy
Final Say:
As Maruthi’s previous movie Bhale Bhale Magadivoi is a story of a person with memory loss, Babu Bangaram is a story of a person with highly kind heart. How he solved his lover’s problem putting his kindness aside is the core of Babu Bangaram. First half has some hilarious moments involving Venkatesh, Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and others. After a series of comic scenes without moving story even an inch forward Interval comes where a twist which is convincing but not highly interesting.After an average and entertaining first half second half begins in a serious mode. Everything starts revealing and story is moved forward. Entertainment levels slowly decreases which everyone expects from Venkatesh and Maruthi. Director Maruthi has done a mediocre job in terms of script and tried his best to show Venkatesh in a new way and he is succeeded to a good level. He tried his best to inject comedy wherever possible and has used Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and Posani Krishna Murali and Brahmanandam. To sumup, this Venkatesh starrer in the direction of Maruthi has nothing much to offer.
