A Review of the Movie
The movie starts with a baseless scene making no sense to most people. Director Chandu Mondeti gave hints to attract the audience’s attention. It revolves around an anklet, which is very precious.
When Professor Ranganath Rao, an archaeological researcher, attempts to conduct research in a nearby library in Greece, he discovers that Lord Krishna trusts Udhava. The primary responsibility of Udhava was to safeguard the anklet.
According to the film, the anklet was precious and contained many solutions to the problems that humans faced in Kali Yugam. The audience loved the movie due to the action scenes of Dr Karthikeya.
The attention seekers were Dr Karthikeya’s fighting scene and the bulky dialogues. In a scene, he punches a man and delivers a talk. The dialogue is: “It is a problem until it reaches me. Once it reaches me, it becomes a solution. “
The protagonist, Karthikeya, is a doctor from Hyderabad. He believes in his studies and practical knowledge. The movie moves further when Karthikeya’s mother asks him for a promise. To fulfil the promise, he leaves for Dwarka along with his mother and uncle Sadananda.
Uncle Sadananda is a devotee of Lord Krishna. On a sudden day, Prof. Rao meets Karthikeya to reveal the secret that some people have kidnapped him. On the same day, he finds that his mother is missing too. Cinematography has been used during the linkage between the two plots of kidnapped Prof. Rao and the missing mother.
The perfect use of cinematography introduces the direction of Lord Krishna. Actor Anupam Kher selects Dr. Karthikeya for a secret mission. He roams the area. The hill stations’ wide angle gives the audience many different views, which calms the situation.
The protagonist, Anupama Parameswaran, shocks the audience with her new avatar. She, with Dr Karthikeya, worked on amazing thrillers and adventurous scenes.
This movie is a combination of many uncertain turning points and adventures. Such as, during the mission, a mysterious man attacks Dr Karthikeya. The purpose of the attack is to kill him, but it also stops when he sees Lord Krishna with Dr Karthikeya.
The movie itself solves all the suspense. The Sage in the hills informs him that the unknown person always attacks people, especially those who approach Lord Krishna’s belongings.
In the movie, the unknown man, introduced as Abheera, tries to kill Dr Karthikeya in several ways. At last, Abheera tries to kill Dr Karthikeya but is forced to practise peace for 24 hours due to Krishna Paksham. The movie tries to connect the audience with the suspense scenes in the beginning. There was a scene of peacock feathers in slow motion. Later, the director revealed the use of peacocks feather. The location was the climax of the movie.
Dr Karthikeya joins the peacock-shaped object and other materials, such as a telescope. He collects all the things to form a flute and places them on Krishna’s idol. The idol consists of a secret cave which opens up. Another tense scene comes when he confronts snakes in the cave. This time the snakes lead Dr Karthikeya to the anklet, which the film talks about in the beginning.
Ultimately, Dr Karthikeya gathers all the nation’s fame in reel and real life.
