Story:
As the sacred temples in the North India are subjected to vandalism Bheeshma Narayan (Prakash Raj), a traditional guru of Takshasila, develops forces to ensure that the shrines are kept safe. Badrinath, is his favorite and the best disciple from his group, who is selected to keep the Badrinath temple safe. Alakananda (Tamannah), a non-believer in God, arrives to Badrinath along with her grandfather. Her grandfather, is afraid of his own daughter, (Ashwini Kalsekar), who is trying to get her son married to her neice Alakananda. Badri readily offers the old man help, and it doesn’t take too long for the adamant girl to fall for Badri. But when Bheeshma Narayan asks Badri’s parents to gift their son to him, to take care of the shrine in his place, it means that Badri has to promise a life of bachelorhood for life! Knowing this Alakananda asks Badri to help her find her love. Unaware of what his Guru had sought, and unaware that he actually is Alakananda’s love, Badri also promises Alakananda to see that she wins her love. In the mean time, Ashwini Kalsekar pushes her rogue husband Sarkar (Kelly Dorjee) to bring her niece back to get her married to her son. Even though it is evident that Badri is an able fighter what will he choose between – Guru or a girl who loves him?
Performance:
Allu Arjun is different in this film, his character doesnt suit with Bunnys Skin,Allu dances like he is born to dance.
Thammanah exposed her body liberally, helped a lot for Badrinath
Prakash Raj as Bhishma Narayan is excellent
The comedy track involving Dharmavarapu, MS and Brahmanandam is a retake on Indra and connects well with the audience.
Technical Departments : It is surprising to say that inspite of an average screenplay the movie has best production values. The sets are incredible, and the cinematographer ensures that he covers them as much as he can. Along with the cinematographer, Peter Heins and Allu Arjun shoud be commended for creating some astounding stunt sequences. Music from Keeravani is a shadow of Magadheera or even Vedam, even though he makes his presence felt in some scenes. It seems too much was left for the VFX artists to take care of. As a result, the graphics are inconsistent, ranging from being good to being extremely poor. Commendable effort also went into dances, be it from the choreographer or Arjun or even Tamannah. It seems V.V.Vinayak was quite overwhelmed by the resources available to him, as a result missing his trade mark punch dialogues and good climax.
Plus:
+Allu Arjun
+Tammanah
+Cinematography
Minus:
-Over Fights
-Climax
-Screenplay
Final Word:
Badrinath is a perfect case where every single individual seems to have given their best, yet somehow the required emotions aren’t well portrayed. Watch it, knowing fully that Badrinath is far from a Magadheera and that we have watched better stuff from V.V.Vinayak.
