Daaku Maharaaj is the latest film from Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is riding high with back-to-back successes. The film’s director is Bobby, who scored a blockbuster with Waltair Veerayya. The film’s posters and promos made the fans go crazy and let’s looke how the film has been shaped up.
Story:
Daaku Maharaaj’s story is about Seetharam, a civil engineer, and the unforeseen circumstances that made him transform into two different personalities, Daaku Maharaaj and Nanaji.
Performances:
Balakrishna is very good in all three dimensions of his character. There is one particular emotional scene in the second half, which shows his acting caliber as a senior actor. Shraddha Srinath gets the second-best character in the film, and she does complete justice to it. Pragya Jaiswal, Sachin Khedhekar, and Makrand Deshpande were fine while Urvashi Rautela was just present for a song and two scenes.
Analysis:
The movie starts strong by establishing many powerful links right from the beginning. The entire first half is thoroughly engaging and stylish, consistently filled with high moments. Balakrishna is terrific in the film, and the elevation scenes work exceptionally well. In the second half, the much-anticipated Daaku Maharaaj portions fall slightly short, with regular and predictable drama leading up to the climax. However, Bobby does his best to include high-energy scenes regularly, keeping the audience engaged
Positives:
- Balakrishna’s terrific screen presence
- Elevations and action blocks
- Stylish First Half
- Cinematography
- Thaman’s BGM
Negatives:
- Weak Villain Backdrop
- Flat and Predictable Second Half
- Repetitive Scenes
Daaku Maharaaj Movie Review and Verdict:
Daaku Maharaaj is definitely worth watching in theaters for Balakrishna’s terrific screen presence and Thaman’s explosive background score. Bobby delivers a commercial entertainer that works big for the masses. However, for other audiences, it might feel average.
