Badrinath is the most talked film of Telugu Film Industry right now. Stylish Star Allu Arjun's much awaited movie 'Badrinath' is releasing on June 10th, 2011. Great mega producer Allu Aravind is producing this flick with huge budget under Geetha Arts Banner. 

Badrinath is the story of an Indian Samurai. Tamanna is playing the female lead role in the movie. Allu Arjun and Tamanna are paired up for the first time.

The Story is given by Chinni Krishna and directed by sensational director V.V.Vinayak.

Badrinath is surrounded by huge hype as it is compared with 'Magadheera' kind of hit in Geetha Arts banner. Let us see whether the film reaches our expectations or not....

Story:

Badrinath temple as backdrop, the story begins with Bheeshma Narayan (Prakash Raj), who is the saviour of Indian temples and culture and trains the young people. Badrinath (Allu Arjun) gets trained under Bheeshma and he has been assigned the job of protecting Badrinath temple.

Alakananda (Tamannah) visits Badrinath with her grand father to perform the final rituals of her died parents. She has no faith in God due to her dark past. Alakananda meets Badri and in no time falls in love with him. Badri saves Alakananda, but does not express his love. Tamannah is chased by Sarkar (kelli Dorjee) who is a Don and is husband to Tamannah's aunt. Her aunt wants Tamannah to marry her son.

Twist in the movie is, Bheeshma Narayan wishes to make Badri a saviour for all temples, for which he should be bachelor all his life. Badri gives word to both Bheeshma and Alakananda. Will Alakananda succeeds in her love and what Badrinath prefers? How he saves Alakananda from don is the remaining part of the story.

Performances:

Allu Arjun is the real grace of Badrinath. Keeping name of the movie, he is successful in presenting his skills, dances, martial arts and shaping his physique to visible as a protector on screen. Nitin has performed very well in this flick. Bored of routine characters, he looked new on the screen. His dances are superb and are electrifying. However, he needs to be extra-careful in delivering powerful dialogues and costumes.

Milky white beauty Tamannah looked gorgeous and extremely hot in songs. She acted very well and her emotions are apt and in perfect level. She has matured in her dances and equals Allu Arjun.

Prakash Raj, once again is at his best in this movie as Bheeshma Narayan. But his costumes should have been better.

Brahmanandam and M.S.Narayana has brought some comedy on screen. Kelly Dorjee, Tanikella Bharani, Kovai Sarala, Dharamvarapu Subramanyam, Krishna Bhagavan did their part as required.

Technical Analysis :

Keeravani composed some songs good and all the songs are shot richly and interesting to watch especially for Allu Arjun's dances. Background score is also fine.

Art work by Anand Sai is extra-ordinary. Ravi Varman's Cinematography is on high scale. Editing could have been better. Geetha Arts came up with rich production values as usual. They spent money very well.

Badrinath has poor story and predictable screenplay. Audience can easily predict the story in the second half. Chinni Krishna has come up with a weak story. Vinayak’s direction is just okey and his trademark in direction is missing in Badrinath.

Plus Points:

* Art work
* Badrinath concept
* Allu Arjun movements
* Tamanna's glamour
* Music (Few songs)


Minus Points:

* Chinni Krishna's Weak Storyline
* Predictable Screenplay
* No Vinayak mark
* Weak Second half
* Poor Climax


Analysis:

V.V.Vinayak is a great director who directed many good movies. But he lags some thing in this movie. Chinni Krishna has come up with a weak storyline and the predictable screenplay makes it boring in the second-half. Initial concept starts as the protector of the temples but at the end, movie goes towards the saving Tamanna from her problems.

First half is good with the good songs, action scenes and with comedy up to some extent, the second half of the film moves at slow rate, dragging one and not many interesting elements.

Mass audience enjoy the movie with Allu Arjun's dances, action episodes, Tamanna glamour.

Final Verdict : A High Expected Movie....Good dances, Fight Sequences, Glamour...Story, Screenplay should have been better...One time watch...Mass audience can enjoy....!!!
