Telugu cinema’s dynamic duo, Anil Ravipudi and Nandamuri Balakrishna, have teamed up for ‘Bhagavanth Kesari,’ a movie that balances hypermasculine action with a powerful message of women empowerment. Released recently, this action family drama explores new dimensions for both the star and the genre.
In a departure from his recent films, director Anil Ravipudi has crafted a narrative that seeks to engage not just Balakrishna’s loyal fanbase but a wider audience. Balakrishna portrays the character of an “adavi bidda” (son of the forest) who speaks the Telangana Telugu dialect with a dash of Hindi, injecting freshness into his role. The film’s tagline, ‘I don’t care,’ reflects Balakrishna’s trademark style, and he delivers punchlines aplenty.
A refreshing change in ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ is the focus on women empowerment, embodied by the character played by Sreeleela. The 22-year-old actress is not cast as Balakrishna’s romantic interest but is given a substantial role, breaking away from the conventional duets with a leading actress. Anil Ravipudi’s narrative weaves this message seamlessly into the story.

The 164-minute film meticulously sets the stage for the world of Bhagavanth Kesari, introducing us to a character with a mysterious past and unfinished business. When Sarath Kumar appears as a police officer with his young daughter, the audience can anticipate the direction of the plot. As the story unfolds, the responsibility of protecting the girl falls on Nelakonda Bhagavanth Kesari, played by NBK, Nandamuri Balakrishna, reminding the audience that they are watching a superstar in action.
‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ offers a blend of action, emotion, and a powerful message that resonates with audiences in a new way. Anil Ravipudi’s efforts to break away from conventions, Balakrishna’s charismatic performance, and the film’s emphasis on women empowerment make it a must-watch for Telugu cinema enthusiasts. As ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ continues to make waves at the box office, it is evident that this film is not just about entertainment but also empowerment.
In conclusion, ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ emerges as a compelling action family drama that transcends the boundaries of typical Telugu cinema, leaving a lasting impact on its audience.
