Actor Sudheer Babu, who has been trying out varied genres of movies, has come up with an emotional father-son drama this Dasara festive season. The film has released in cinemas today amid a decent buzz. Check out our review to know how the film fares.

Story:

Jani (Sudheer Babu) loses his father (Sai Chand) in his childhood and takes shelter at an orphanage. A rich person (Sayaji Shinde) adopts Jani. However, he suffers huge losses in his life and stops talking to Jani. But Jani adores his father so much and works hard to clear the debts and correct his father’s mistakes. In a twist of fate, Sayaji Shinde gets arrested in a case. Jani needs Rs 1 crore to free his father. The rest of the story unfolds Jani’s ordeal in securing his father’s release.

Plus Points:

Of late, the Telugu film industry has been witnessing a series of good films. Maa Nanna Superhero proudly joins this league. The film scores well with its emotional drama that manages to touch everyone. Sudheer Babu raises a notch higher as an actor with his natural performance. As usual, Sayaji Shinde performed quite well and proved yet again what a versatile artiste he is.

The scenes featuring Sudheer Babu and Sayaji Shinde have been crafted well. Senior character artiste Sai Chand is a surprise factor in the movie. He perfectly justifies his role and the film’s title with his performance and comedic timing. He left the audience clapping in a scene in the second half. The film’s climax ends on an emotional note and was handled quite well without any confusion.

Heroine Aarna Vohra impresses with her cute looks and decent performance. Actor and star choreographer Raju Sundaram’s special role in the second offers a fresh feel. The rest of the actors did well in driving the story forward.

Minus Points:

We cannot expect a never-before-seen storyline in Maa Nanna Superhero. The film runs on a familiar template. The film starts on a slow note and takes enough time to gain momentum. The scenes that follow offer a sense of predictability.

After a decent first half that forms the base for a tense second half, the film details due to unnecessary comedy scenes. Certain scenes in the second half will remind the audiences of Allu Arjun’s character in Vedam. The heroine’s character lacks prominence in the narrative.

Technical Aspects:

Director Abhilash Reddy, who won accolades for his critically acclaimed web-series, Loser, once again shows his depth in crafting emotional scenes. Even though Maa Nanna Superhero doesn’t boast a refreshingly new storyline, the director makes it an engaging fare with his narrative and execution. The emotions and particularly the climax episode stood out well. That said, the director could have come up with a much better plot and narrative structure to engage the audiences.

Jay Krish’s musical score touches audiences’ hearts with its poignancy and depth. Even the songs were decent and helped drive the narrative. While cinematographer Sameer Kalyani makes the film a visual delight with beautiful frames, editor Anil Kumar P also does a decent job with the cuts. There are several impressive dialogues that add depth to certain crucial scenes. The production values by the makers are pretty good.

Verdict:

Maa Nanna Superhero offers an emotional ride this Dasara season. While the movie features a familiar storyline, the performances by Sudheer Babu, Sayaji Shinde, and Sai Chand make up for the shortcomings. Family audiences and every son will connect with this emotional drama. Barring a few predictable scenes, you may certainly watch Maa Nanna Superhero by keeping your expectations in check.
