Artist Performance

Bala Krishna

Bala Krishna is terrific as Jaya Simha, Balayya came up with a thundering performance again. He had a few very good dialogues in this film. He did a short yet good Mythological character of Ravana Brahma in this film. He is simply stunning in his Ravana Brahma attire and reminds us of NTR in those scenes. After a tremendous success of SIMHA last year, accepting this kind of film is a let down.

OTHERS: Sheela were given a mediocre role and doesn’t have much importance with main story, Amisha did a fine job as wife of Bala Krishna with a very short screen presence, Neha did the role of a terrorist and she suited that. Murali Mohan was given an important role which he did with ease. Nagineedu who impressed with his performance in Maryada Ramanna doesn’t have much scope perform. Brahmanandam, Ali, Hema succeeded in their small comedy roles. Jaya Sudha, Kota, Vijay Kumar, Vijay Chander, Rama Prabha were ok.

Technical Departments

Story-Screenplay- Dialogues-Direction:

The basic story is very old and it is not developed in a convincing way. Screenplay is not up to the mark in the first half. However, it is comparatively better in second half. there is a considerable applause by the viewers for few dialogues. Direction by Dasari is archaic. Narration is pretty slow. A senior director like Dasari should not take audience for granted and he should realize that he is making a movie in 2011 but not in 1980’s, better he should asleep and maintain the respect he has out of his 100+ movies instead of making humiliating movies and driving downn the stardom of stars.

OTHERS: Listeners were not be pleased with the songs of this film in the pre-release scenario, Background score has the same result in the theatre too. Cinematography was a drawback for the movie, entire movie was like viewing a movie way back in 80’s & early 90’s.

Analysis:

First half of the film lacks any story element and is slow, Second half except for few Dialogues and Balayya, should not expect much. Watching this film gives you a feeling like you are watching a typical commercial film of early 1980’s. Times are changing and the technology is advancing. New treatment is coming in terms of direction. But this film is badly effected by the unimaginative direction(Dasari), bland dialogues and cliche story and uninspiring music(Mani Sharma). Over all, this film is not satisfactory. Only saving grace of this film is the massive mass image of Balayya that drive the masses in B and C centers because of a few good mass dialogues.

Final Verdict

Parama Veera Chakra, which has come up with huge expectations disappoints the audience with weak direction. Bala Krishna’s performance is the only saving grace of the film. However, with many biggies lined up for Pongal race, Parama Veera Chakra is hard to survive at the Box-Office.
