Rowdy review

Cast: Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, Kishore, Shanvi Srivastava, Tanikella Bharani, Jayasudha, BhavaniDirection: Ram Gopal VarmaGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 1 minute
Story: Anna (Mohan Babu) is a much revered Rowdy who is law onto himself. He opposes the construction of a dam that would displace villagers from 30 villages. His enemies plan to eliminate him by manipulating Anna's elder son. But they have to contend with the younger son Krishna (Vishnu).
Movie Review: Some actors have the ability to rise above the film they are acting in. Without even wearing an iota make up, Mohan Babu manages to lend a sense of believability to the character of a good natured strongman who reigns supreme in an unspecified fiefdom in Rayalaseema.
In an undeniable acting master class, the veteran of over 500 films exudes a simmering intensity with most random of gestures like shaking his foot, letting out a sigh hhuuu when he wants someone dead, his intonation when uttering the word respect, or just lifting his lungi to show his displeasure. The filmmaker deserves all credit for extracting that performance as well.
There's no doubt fans of Mohan Babu will have much to rave about the movie. Even his harshest critics will struggle to find fault with the performance but admirers of Ram Gopal Varma and the Godfather trilogy might not echo the same sentiments. It's not a bad film per say...but lacks that something that separates the good ones from the rest
