Damarukum Review : Analysis
Srinivasa Reddy came up with a simple devotional tale and successfully added all the commercial elements to it without disturbing DNA of the tale. Most important thing is he told the story in a way it should be told, such a small film director keeping the story as hero would never be possible without support from King Nag and he should be applauded for it. Cinema started with graphical representation of war between Gods and Demons, You may not want to miss this part as this forms basis for rest of the story. First half with Nag’s rug & tug attire, dialogues, Anushka’s brief appearances, Ravi Shankar scary dialogues and yes the gang of comedians group comedy elevates all the characters and establishes the complete story plot. There were many instances where audience roll in their chairs laughing-out. Action sequences and serious plot of the story start towards the interval and continue till climax. While the background music immerse you into the story completely, Lead actors performance let you enjoy the movie. Not leaving much distance between Nestama and Reppalapai songs might make you feel the songs are back-to-back, but even then they are delightful to watch. With most of the songs All the scenes where Prakash Raj was involved are biggest let down for the film, he couldn’t get the required divine emotions and never looked apt for the character of Lord Shiva. Another disappointment but quite damaging is the way how climax was handled, with the poor quality graphics and no twists around the fight sequences climax looked pale. In spite of looking grandier, one would fail to understand why RR Movies & Srinivasa Reddy, had to spend 2 years time on this movie with 40+ crore budget.
