Director Puri Jagan is an elated man with three big films under his kitty right now. After succeeding with the gigantic task of convincing Megastar Chiranjeevi for his 150th, he got a green signal from Mahesh Babu for a hat-trick movie and anyway had Varun Tej’s film confirmed already. Then what’s that risky story people are talking about?
Before any films of Chiru, Mahesh or Varun Tej commences, Puri Jagan will be treating audiences with “Jyothi Lakshmi”. Trailer is impressive and Charmi is gorgeous, but it’s the story of this film that poses a threat.
A prostitute is loved whole heartedly by one of her customers and he marries her eloping. Later that sex-racket’s kingpins try to nab this girl, beat that guy, they fight back and society absorbs them. This maybe a superhit novel, but the story is beaten to death in Tollywood with filmmakers revisiting it numerous times.
With such a known story, Puri has to weave a screenplay magic to woo audiences otherwise this is a huge risk. In “Jyothi Lakshmi”, neither Charmi’s glamour nor her performance is new. It will be Puri’s magic that needs to stand as backbone. Hope it will.
