Urumi:  Akkada urumindhemi peddhaga ledhu le.............
Rating: 2/5

Story:
The film starts with a short introduction to the history of Portuguese exploration in the in the Age of Discovery to India, referring the legendary landing of explorer Vasco da Gama on 20 May 1498 in Calicut, the kingdom ruled by Zamorins of Calicut. Da Gama starts criminal deeds for the sake of perfumes in Kerala. He kills a Kotwal (Arya) in this process and his son Kelu (Prithviraj) takes oath to kill Da Gama.

He collects the gold from the persons who were killed by Da Gama and make a sword and name it as Urumi. Kelu is taken by Vavvali (Prabu Deva) and he grows up there. Kelu meets Arakkal Princess (Genelia) in the process of bringing Da Gama’s son. He uses him as a trap to catch Da Gama but the plan gets haywire. How Kelu finally kills Da Gama is the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Urumi is a  historical story which happens in Kerala backdrop. This movie is nothing special to telugu audience. There is no nativity in this story. Slow narration and screenplay ruined the movie which created the lack of interest in audience.

Most of the film looks like it is a historical explanation, which won’t suit the tastes of Telugu audience. The film lacks thrilling narration or nail biting action to keep them glued to the screen. This film is technically brilliant but lacks the arresting narration. The attempt can be lauded but Urumi can’t be a hit at Tollywood box office.

Performances:

Prithvi Raj’s performance is top notch. Genelia has done one of the memorable characters in her career. She worked hard for this role and it can be seen. Prabhu Deva gave a jovial performance and is a treat to watch. Jagathi is special. Tabu, Arya and Vidya Balan played guest roles.
Technicalities:

Story writer Shankar Ramakrishnan did good research and wrote this film with all the historical facts. Art department did a splendid work to recreate the 15th century look. Cinematography by Santosh Shivan is terrific. He has done a great job and deserves many awards for this work. Srikar Prasad’s editing is good. Deepak Dev’s background score played a vital role in keeping the mood of the film alive.


Plus Points:

> Art work

Negatives:

> lack of nativity
> boring screenplay
