Most of the times, this fervent concoction of politics and drama has us wrapped around its little finger.įorget the spoken language, "Bharath Ane Nenu" speaks the language that we all crave to hear. Sreekar Prasad's editing which wraps itself around the sprawling saga with insistent economy, and Devi Sri Prasad's music and songs which careen between inspirational and 'perspirational' depending on who is dancing to whose tunes. It regales with its rousing rhetorics on political pursuits and keeps us interested in the protagonist's battle to remain on top of the mountain of corruption. Indeed, "Bharath Ane Nenu" is one of the most entertaining films I've seen recently. He has solid support from writer-director Koratala Siva who doesn't allow a moment of the inherent drama in the plot to be dissipated, diluted or to lapse into humbug. Mahesh Babu makes it all seem feasible, desirable, attainable. Hope for politicians who are fearless and corruption-free and who can put this messed-up country before self interest.
Throughout the engrossing film, we see him taking decisions that give us hope for Indian politics, though I doubt a Chief Minister like Bharath will happen in my lifetime.īharath Ane Nenu gives us much more than rousing entertainment. But then Bharath, as played by Mahesh Babu, doesn't abide by given definitions of right and wrong. This, I thought, was carrying informality too far. The only time I cringed was when Bharath asked his startled personal assistant about the clothes that the girl at the bus stop (whom the CM has been ogling every day on the way to parliament) must be wearing on that particular day. Mahesh Babu makes the cool CM look cooler with his refusal to ‘act cool'. There are numerous such moments of cathartic rhetoricism in the narrative where we witness the dynamic chief minister playing politics by self-made rules. "Please don't embarrass me by insisting," Bharath says gently before walking off with that understated confidence, leaving behind one red-faced politician-patriarch.
