After Legend and Simha, director Boyapati Srinu and actor Balakrishna team up for their third film – a mass masala entertainer that relies solely on the lead’s star power. A good story-line is watered down due to a miscalculated screenplay and everyone takes a backseat for NBK (including one of his characters). The end result might make the star’s fans scream ‘Jai Balayya’ almost endlessly but one can’t deny that Boyapati fails to pull off what he promises.
This is the story of Murali’s long-lost twin Akhanda (Balakrishna as an aghora/baba) who is taken away from his family by a Baba (Jagapathi Babu) because he has a destiny to fulfil. It is believed he is born to right the wrongs of Gajendra Sahu (Niitin Mehta), a ruthless man who takes over an ashram and pretends he’s a saint to cover up his crimes.
Also in this tale is Varada Rajulu (Srikanth), another ruthless man who takes up illegal uranium mining in Nallamala under the guise of copper mining. When people whose lives Murali vowed to protect are lost and Saranya has to fight to save what’s left of her family, Akhanda heads on a war-path to save the day.
Balakrishna plays a fierce devotee of Lord Shiva, who stands tall against evildoers.
To save the saviour Murali Krishna from an evil Varadarajulu’s trap, Lord Shiva’s ardent devotee, Akhanda, moves heaven and earth.
