On March 15, fifteen movies are set to hit theaters, albeit all are relatively small productions. However, a few have garnered significant audience interest, including ‘Lambasingi,’ starring ‘Bigg Boss’ Divi Vadthya. Directed by Kalyan Krishna, known for blockbusters like ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana‘ and ‘Rarandoi Veduka Chudham,’ this marks his debut as a producer. The teaser and trailers have captivated audiences, promising a unique cinematic experience. Let’s delve into how this feature-packed film unfolds.
Lambasingi story: Veera Babu (Jai Bharat Raj) secures a job as a police constable in Lambasinghi, a village resettling Naxalites. Hospitals lack emergency facilities, and police primarily provide political security. Falling for Harita (Divi), daughter of ex-Naxalite Konappa, Veerababu assumes the daily task of signing for Konappa. His affection grows as they work together to save a dying man, but Harita rejects his proposal. One night, assailants attack the police station, injuring Veerababu and revealing Harita’s involvement. The story unfolds, exploring Harita’s past and the repercussions on Veerababu’s life.
Performances: The movie centers on Devi’s character, portrayed by Divi, who showcases her acting prowess beyond glamor roles seen previously. Her performance in “Godfather” reaffirms her talent. In this film, she impresses without relying on exposure. Bharat Raj delivers a satisfactory performance, especially in the climax. Other actors like Vamsi Raj, Kittayya, and Nikhil Raj perform adequately.
Technical Aspects: Director Naveen Gandhi skillfully infuses Naxalism into a simple love story, striking a perfect balance between entertainment and depth. Unlike previous serious portrayals, this film maintains its engaging storyline throughout. The climax evokes emotional resonance, while the music, including background scores and songs, enhances the viewing experience. Despite minor flaws such as occasional logic gaps and a slow start in the first half, the cinematography and production design remain commendable, adding to the overall appeal of the movie.
Analysis: “Lambasinghi” offers a heartwarming love story amidst the backdrop of Naxalism, presenting an innovative cinematic endeavor. It’s a must-watch film for those seeking a unique experience in theaters this weekend.
Verdict: Overall, “Lambasingi” struggles to distinguish itself from other films with similar themes. Despite decent performances by Jai Bharat Raj and Divi Vadthya, along with some pleasant musical sequences, the movie suffers from a lack of originality, coherent plot, and strong character arcs. Considering other viewing options is advisable for those seeking engaging entertainment.
Bottom Line: Romantic Drama
Rating: 2.75 /5
