Story:

Much awaited Magadheera has arrived. Its trailers, audio, posters has made audience wait for this movie with lots of enthu. Rajamouli has once again hit the chord with the audience and this time with Ram Charan Teja. Finally, here it goes…

The story starts with the present where Harsha( Ram Charan) is a energetic lad who earns money on bike races and bets . When he accidently touches Indu(Kajal Agarwal) , things move to the past which is a delight to watch .

The story moves to 1609 A.D. where Kala Bhairava (Ram Charan) is the cheif protector/trainer and great warrior of the Udayghad Kingdom . Mitra (Kajal Agarwal),the hier princess falls in love with Kala Bhairava . Obviously,there will be a villain in every love story .The relative and the Senadhipathi Randheer (Dev Gil) also lusts for princess Mitra and tries to separate her from Kala Bhairava. As a result of this, the big fight wages between Kala Bhairava and Randheer and in this process they will end up their lives. Mean while Sher Khan (Srihari) plans to invade Udayghad and before the lovers die , he will witness the love of Kalabhairava and Mitra.

Now the story comes to present, Harsha (Ram Charan) happens to touch the hand of Indu(kajal) on a rainy day and falls in love with her. Randev is born again as Indu’s relative. Rest of the story is about how they will come to know the past and how they will end the story. This should be definitely watched in theatres.

The whole credit of the movie should be given to RajaMouli . It is not easy to take films like this and he has done a very great job .

Performances:

Ramacharan has arrived with this film . His performance in Chiruta was bit immature and in this film he has showed that he can do big roles too . He carried his role with ease and showed good amount variation in his both characters . His macho look as Kala Bhairava was a delight to watch . His dance steps were really amazing , particularly in Bangaru Kodi petta Song . He has kept a lot of hard work in to the role and it really payed him off.

Kajal Agarwal was stunningly beautiful and was the right choice of the film . The role of the princess suited her well . She did a good job to her role .

Dev Gil(villain) has done his job well . His role in the past suited him well , his emotional scenes could have been better .

Srihari comes in a short , but powerful role . His Sher Khan role adds good value to the film and as ever his dialogue delivery is superb. Rao Ramesh is good as Aghora . Sunil , Sarath Babu , Brahmanandam did there part well . Mumaith Khan and Kim Sharma did item songs in the movie .

Technical Aspects Leaving the performances aside, the technical values of the movie were stunning to watch . Telugu Industry has very few films of this level . This is the second film in this year(First being Arundathi) that had such great graphics and visual grandeur . The cinematography added great value to film . All of the technical staff should be appreciated with out leaving anyone .

Background score was neat .Songs were good to watch on screen . The music was the backbone for the movie . Lyrics written by Chandrabose were really good .

HighLights :

* Visual treat in many scenes of the movie
* Stunning art work carried out to portray Udaigadh city of 1609AD
* Horse coming back to help the hero
* Fight between 100 soldiers of Sher Khan and Kalabhairava
* Dheera Dheera song , great picturization
* Ram Charan Teja Acting being the highlight

The initial 30 minutes of the movie looks slow , but picks up later and engages the audience very well . I dont say the film is 100 percent perfect . But as all Rajamouli movies , this movie too could be improved further . The commercial elements are in place and are apt . All together a great film for the telugu audience .

This is one film that should be watched in the theater with a good sound system . Go and watch it
