Positive Points:

NRT Dance in Songs is really very good , you can watch movie just for songs. Ntr and hansika Lip kisses are shown 2 times in film. Comedy in First part is good. UnExpected twists in second half will surprise telugu people who dont watch bollywood /hollywood movies. 2 songs are highlite and remaining are avg. Negative Points: Kantri is combination of 4-5 movies together. Almost all movie including jokes are taken from some or the other movie.( Pokiri , Munna, (bluffmaster-hindi) and hollywood movies.) NTR too thin in movie and looks kid in big action scenes. Most of action part is same as pokiri. Tanisha is wasted in movie no proper role in movie , atleast no much skin show.

Review :

Finally the much awaited KANTRI is released and as evident from the promos the film is filled with action packed sequences and the usual songs and dances. This film cannot be termed as a family entertainer as it has nothing for the whole family to sit in the theatres and watch. Still hase something for fans and masses.

The film begins with the frame in which Mukesh Rushi is depicted as a rich landlord. He is blessed with a son who returns from US after completing his studies and decides to establish a sugar factory in a village. He has a thought that, by his factory the employment crisis in the village can be ended and the families in the village can have some food to eat. In this process he borrows some money from bank and while returning to his home meets his death through his trusted family follower Potha Raju (Prakash Raj).Prakash Raj Kills the son of Mukesh with the help of his friend Ashish Vidyarthi and runs away with the money. However he leaves his new born son and wife in the village and leaves them to their fate.

The scene rolls and then the entry of the hero take place. Kranthi alias Kantri is an orphan who lives in an orphanage. Kota Srinivas Rao funds and runs the orphanage and Kantri respects Kota as a god. There is another orphan in the orphanage whom the hero takes special care and treats him as his own brother.

Meanwhile Kranthi joins falls in love with Varalakshmi played by Hansika Motwani and tries to befriend her and follows her everywhere she goes. Then to earn something he joins the gang of Ashish Vidyarthi who is a co partner of Prakash Raj in his evil acts. There Kranthi changes his name to KANTRI.NTR soon attracts Ashish with his action acts and is sent to Hong Kong to assist Prakash Raj. Prakash Raj works as a underworld don of a mafia gang which is involved in circulating fake currency notes, drugs, ammunitions etc and Junior NTR assists Prakash Raj in taking revenge on his professional rival Mukul .meanwhile due to some incidents Prakash Raj learns that KANTRI is his deserted son who he left some time ago.Now the big break comes as an interval. Some audience feels that this was a much needed break from a large dose of action.

After the interval the scene opens and Kantri learns that he is the son of Prakash Raj who is an evil master of a mafia kingdom. But he denies the relationship as he remembers the agony he and his mother faced in his childhood when his father Prakash Raj deserted them.

Then the twist in the story takes place. The hero goes against all the villains. The reason for turning against all the villains including his own father is a suspense which must be watched on the silver screen. What happens next? Is a thrilling climax.

Performances

Junior NTR once again proved that he is a full fledged actor and also can be termed as a number one dancer in south Indian films. His new slimmed avatar looks pretty good and his dancing steps are apt to his slim figure. The action sequences performed by him are very well done and yes one can say that he is a hardworking and a dedicated born actor.Hansika Sizzles on the silver screen with her charm. Her revealing dress adds the glamour quotient and is a perfect match as a glam doll. Tanisha though has done a small role as the daughter of Ashish Vidyarthi has made her mark in the film. She has done a little bit of extra exposing in this film then usual.

Prakash Raj once again is the show stealer. He has proved once again that his acting is truly flawless and deserves a true appraisal. His get up tickles the audience as she depicts the yesteryear bollywood actor Rajesh khanna.The rest of the villain batch i.e. Sayaji, Ashish and Mukul acted well according to their characters. But the films seem overloaded with the pack of villains in some scenes.

The music by Mani Sharma is a highlight of the film and it seems like he has composed the music aptly for the junior’s dancing steps.The highlight of the film is when the hero Junior NTR enters the films frame on a cycle which is a party symbol of TDP. Some dialogues like praising his grandfather NTR seems to be supporting the present TDP party. And a dialogue of his which recites “Taggindhi Naa Body weight maatrame, Naa Head weight Kadhu” makes the audience in the theatre tickle for some time.

On the whole this film is a family entertainer and can be watched with the family even though some high content action and skin show from the heroines.But for the fans of Junior NTR this will be a sure hit.
