Story: Krishna (Rishwi) lost his father at a young age. The construction of their house gets halted due to the sudden demise of his father. The male protagonist goes to help his uncle who is a shepherd. However, he falls in love with his neighbour Satya (Vismaya Sri), who also loves him for his kindness and humble nature.
Deva who is a deleterious person from the same village has lust towards Satya. What all Satya faces in her life from hereon is the crux of the story. Will Krishna be able to fulfil his father’s wish of constructing a house? Why village people call Krishna Gadu Oka Range forms the crux of the story.
Performances: Rishwi Thimmaraju does a good job with his boy next door character. He fails to deliver in emotional scenes but performer scenes are okay. Vismaya Sri did her part well in the film. The other cast did their part not so impressive to mention about them.
Technicalities: The story idea and concept of the entire film is fabulous and it is conceptualized beautifully. The music by Sabu Varghese is captivating and definitely acts as a bonus to the story. The movie also has comedy scenes and sarcasm which make the experience of watching the film better. While the story is conceptualized beautifully the screenplay has fallen short to meet the expectations of the audience. The emotion is lost in the screenplay. The screenplay could have made it better by giving in occasional twists in the story also to make the film exciting and interesting.
Analysis: This movie has a decent plot. The village setting and old-world charm are nice. The main narrative occurs in the second half. The first half ought to have moved more quickly. It is clear that Teja’s filming aesthetic has an impact. Run time is appropriate. The music is consistently good.
Verdict: Krishna Gadu Ante Oka Range is a watchable movie because of its plot and its leading actors’ performances, despite some hits and misses.
Rating : 2/5
