Radhika Rajamani feels there is nothing in Telugu film Bezawada that'll attract moviegoers.Bezawada has nothing to offer the viewer except the same old stuff one has seen in Ram Gopal Varma's umpteen films. And it has nothing to do with the actual incidents which happened in the town (Vijayawada) as rumours suggested a while ago.
The title
Bezawada (Vijayawada) is a misnomer and there is hardly a storyline in the film. Debutante Vivek Krishna's maiden attempt is a poor, ill-crafted film which got unnecessary and unwarranted hype when announced.
The story is essentially about two families -- Kaali (Prabhu ) and Vijay Krishna (Mukul Dev). Kali, a don in Vijayawada blindly trusts Vijay who helps him out in murders and other things. Kaali's younger brother Shankar (Abhimanyu Singh) doesn't like him. So he plots to finish him off and puts the blame on Vijay. One by one, Vijay's brothers -- Jaikrishna (Ajay) and Siva Krishna (Naga Chaitanya) are drawn into this revenge drama.
The plot is very thin. On top of it, there's too much bloodshed and violence. Dragging the antagonist Shankar with the chain is horrifying and terrible to watch.
In this vendetta plot, there is a love story too between Siva and Geetanjali (Amala Paul), the daughter of a cop. And like all other films, comedy is stuffed in there too between Brahmanandam and M.S. Narayana which seems
quite out of place even though the writer has desperately made attempts to connect it to the main plot. There are songs too, including an item number!
