He is the same director, a debutant who made Yuvatha in which Nikhil has imitated Raviteja from start to finish, exuded energy and was quite successful. The film did well. What if the same person directs the original hero, how will the film shape up, was the question on everyone's mind. Raviteja had absolutely no doubts on the director and even said the movie will be a sure-shot hit. It is beyond everyone's imagination how Raviteja like a rechargeable battery comes up with the same intensity film after film. A restless soul, he keeps the audience hooked to his expressions, antics, gimmicks and does half the comedy in the film.
Unlike other heroes who make the audience wait for entertaining movies, Raviteja had been coming up with films in quick succession and all of them have been a treat to watch. In this film he plays the role of a guy who works for a TV channel whose TRPs keep sinking and suddenly due to a personal calamity becomes an undercover agent, with the help of a reporter in the channel exposes the criminal activities of a home minister, an MLA and a goon who are responsible for the huge set back in the hero's life.
"Eppudaina aayudham avasaram lekunda vadakoodadhu. Oka vela vadithe guri thappakoodadhu," is what Anajenyulu says and beats the pulp out of the villain who ties to stab him offguard. The action scenes are entertaining too. Kota Srinivasa Rao impresses with his Telangana dialect again, Dhandapani, JP, Sonu Sood do the needful.
However the parents-son relationship look a bit unnatural. Anjaneyulu doesn't have a fresh story. We have seen such films before but what makes it interesting is the narration, the screenplay and the consistent energy and entertainment with which Raviteja has packed his performance. Songs are just about okay, technically a fine film and story-wise fun to watch. It has little bit of everything that a formula story demands.
A good beginning for Ganesh the comedian-turned-producer and a few stars more for Parusuram, the director who didn't complicate things for himself or the audience and Raviteja..he has 'kick'-started his career again.
