Natakam

Ashish Gandhi fits the looks department of the template village drama that we are watching off late in Telugu cinema which is supposed to be raw and rustic.

Kalyanji Gogana’s direction is weak. He has a decent story in hand, but the way it has been executed looks amateurish.

A better build-up of the gang into the narrative in Khakee movie style and thereby correctly linking it to the main track and the subsequent ending.

 

The lead actor, Ashish Gandhi is the backbone of the film. He looks handsome and has a very good screen presence. 

After a decent first half, the tempo of the film falls flat within no time. Unnecessary songs come and deviate the topic. Scenes are repeated many times in the film.

On the whole, Natakam shows a lot of promise in the first half but the silly and lethargic second half takes the film down in no time.
