The first half could have been salvaged with better scenes than an MLA who behaves like a college-going girl irritated by a stalker. One feels there is more of Catherene (who has no much say in the story) than Rakul, who is Bhadra's Meera Jasmine of Sarrainodu. Earlier, please don't forget, there was that 'Magadu ante ala undali' moment! But wait, the sight of our impatient hero's Janu bombarding us with that forgotten-for-good 'veedu antha easy ga chavakoodadu' line leaves us in shock. Meanwhile, you wait for the much-hyped character of Aadhi Pinisetty to match the stamina of our aggressive hero. The good MLA bids goodbye so as to make way for Telusa Telusa. Scene after scene, a done-to-death formula is thrust down our throats. The first half presents decent enough takeaways: the characterization of Gana as an indefatigable one-man army, that of Vairam Dhanush as a ruthless villain who can't stand anybody touching his clients (much less him), a court scene that is well-spent to build tempo around the hero's yet-to-be-waged 'dandayatra', and an interval bang that has the hero convey a lot of emotions with just three words: 'Naku artham aindi', as the damsel in distress looks on.įrom the time you realize that Boyapati was not revealing more only to make space for Anjali and Bunny to do a Blockbuster dance, it's difficult to stand the proceedings. Whatever the quantum of 'style', it's difficult to make elements like land-grabbing by the bloodiest possible villain seem palatable. And for all its utility, the formula has come to acquire certain limitations. Sarrainodu is in the mould of a time-tested formula.
At interval bang, it's time for Janu to come running to Gana - running away from Vairam Dhanush's (Aadhi Pinisetty in a over-hyped role) desperadoes.
A few rom-com scenes involving the both come and go. On their way, Gana falls for Catherene Tresa, who plays an MLA. On being commanded by his father to pay a visit to JP's (Sai Kumar in the role of a sincere crusader) house to see Janu (Rakul Preet Singh), Gana and babai start off. Gana and his babai share a strong bond and the latter is always with him, whether it is a bombarding fight or a blockbuster song. His father Chief Secretary (Jayaprakash) has given up on him. He wins the court cases outside the court his babai (played by Srikanth) loses inside the court. Gana (Allu Arjun)'s single-point agenda is to save the terrified from Masood Pehelwans and all. This film is yet another example of heroism owning director-ism. His saviour-'Sarrainodus' are so overpowering that Boyapati is, on the flip side, sometimes carried away. His 'Dammu'-fied heroes are adorable cinematic 'Simhas'.
