Balaiahs 100th movie will become a mile stone in his life time. Director Jagarlamudi Krish has given him the best movie.Nandamuri family is not new to Historical movies but this one was different. When people took years together for making a movie, here the director has just completed the movie in 80 days.
First Devi prasad was selected for the music and later he was replaced. The other factor was Chirajeevis movie was also coming at the same time adding to the Sankranthi competition. That is his 150th movie.
Ace director Rajmouli who created history with Baahubali and ready with Baahubali 2 has liked the movie and complimented Krish for his direction and Balayya for his acting capabilities.
Some of Balaiahs family members have also seen the benefit show today and they liked it very much.Gautamiputra Satakarni has some top class technical values. As said earlier, the film has superb visuals and credit should completely go to the production design department for giving the film a grand look.
Once again, Sai Madhav Burra shines as his dialogues will be remembered for a long time in Tollywood. The way he penned dialogues for Balakrishna which elevate the greatness about Telugu lineage will bring applause in the theatres. Music by Chittaranjan Bhatt is ok, but the background score is impressive.
The costumes used, armory chose and all the various props used for the war look realistic and prove that a lot of detailing has gone into the film. Editing is slick but the war scenes could have been trimmed a bit. Screenplay by Krish is pretty neat. The way he has added crunch scenes like the importance of mother and the love for Telugu people in the narrative showcases his talent.
Krish as a director, has done a stupendous job and will go down in history for bringing life into our own historical Telugu king which many did not know much. Kudos to him for showcasing the film in such a grand manner with whatever limited budget and resources he had.
Time and again, he has proved himself by making different films and Satakarni will be on the top of his best works till date. Also, the way he has showcased Balayya will be loved by the hero’s fans to no extent.
