Firstly lets wish our “Kotta pelli Koduku” Gopichand, happy married life and then now get ready to know more about his latest adventurous movie “Sahasam” and check out if his lady has really bought some luck this time. “Sahasam” is directed by Chandrasekhar Yeleti who is known for some very special movies like “Aithe”, “Anukokunda oka Roju” “Okkadunnadu” etc.
Plot: Goutham (Gopichand) a security guard, who always dreams to be rich is every time hampered by his ill fortune. But one fine day he comes to know about the diamonds hidden by his grandfather (Suman) in Hinglaj Devi temple in Pakistan. He comes across Srinidhi(tapsee), a ardent devotee who is going to the temple.
It begins as a normal search and ends up as life adventure due to huge Kanishka treasure associated with it and our hero need to fight with a terrorist gang headed by Sultan( Shakti Kapoor) along the way to his goal.
Actors
Goutham’s character has a definite ambition and superb guts and the Gopichand with such macho image perfectly suits the bill. His one dialogue “ naadi kanidi koti rupayilaina nenu korukonu… naadi anedi arda rupai ayina nenu vadulukonu” sums it all and he goes to any extent to achieve that. Gopichand has been passing through rough patch in his career due to some wrong choices he made. Sahasam should be definitely one nice one to pick up. He is lucky enough to work with such a nice director twice now.
Tapsee has a nice role and she delivers good act.
Ali is fine and provide slight comic relief especially when the entire film lacks that section. Shakti Kapoor is adequate as Sultan and brings some freshness to the role of villain. Surprisingly Tollywood never bothered about this senior most actor so far. Suman is good. A lady who played Saira and bearded assistant of Sultan gets noticed.
Sahasam – An awesome adventure true to its name…
He is not a silly director to just bring the things on screen for the sake of it. Chandrasekhar does adequate homework and he never disappoints his section of fans this time too. He just spares an half an hour for introducing the hero and heroine and gets into groove from there on very quickly.
He cleverly connects the treasure with the ordinary security guard,Uses the heroine to bring him to Pakistan . Every action sequence is perfectly blended into the story and are shot extremely good. He stores more thrilling moments of treasure hunt towards the end. The last 30 minutes of actually the final and actual Treasure hunt is superbly executed with good puzzles and nice CG work.
Chandrasekhar Yeleti kudos and wish your dream of making films with Pawan and Mahesh become true sooner.
Technically brilliant…
For a splendid Sahasam, It demands a fabulous team. Sham dutt's lens effectively captured Ladakh and scenes in last half hour are perfect. Stunt masters designed superb action sequences. Few liberties are of course taken. See for example if hero’s every bone is crushed when villains beat him, It would be nonsense if he takes rest in hospital for a week and moreover, we actually expect to fire back immediately. The horse episode should have been linked to main story, but that actually gives way to only duet in film.
Sri, who worked for some RGV movies like "Money" series and also for some good movies "Little soldiers" before has given superb background score. You can actually feel it for important scene. He deserves more work.
No Brahmanandam and No item song… :(
Oh man, how can they miss these two essentials… Especially Brahmi lovers get suffocated for sure. And Mumaith khan admires will be disappointed…:)
Finally …
These kinds of stories are seen in Indiana Jones series and of course we too had movies like Anji and Takkari Donga in recent times. Chandrasekhar has tried his best to bring us Hollywood style adventure. He sticks true to the script and left no stone unturned for genre of this film.
Hopefully all sections of audience accept this grand adventure
