![]() Keeping all these controversies aside, does this NOTA movie continue the success streak of Vijay at the movies or not is discussed below in the NOTA review. Well, the title & subject of this film made some of the political parties in Telangana to file a petition against the release of NOTA and fortunately, it is releasing on the announced date after the court’s ruling. With the title and subject, it got the necessary attention of the public and especially in Telangana where the elections are on the foresight. ![]() Currently, Vijay Deverakonda is also doing the same of grabbing the attention of the public by coming up with a film called NOTA based on the politics subject. Gnanavel Raja Screenplay-Direction: Anand Shankar Rating: 2.25/5 In India, politics & cinema are the things which can catch the attention of the general public as these two things are hugely influential on the daily routines of the public. Luckily, the film makes its point about the need for change in politics without becoming embroiled in the polemics of politics.Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Mehreen Pirzada, Nassar, Sathyaraj, Yashika Aanand, Priyadarshi & Others Banner: Studio Green Music: Sam C.S Cinematography: Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran Editor: Raymond Story-Screenplay: Shan Karuppusamy Producer: K.E. It debilitates and disfigures the best of intentions. Politics does that to the best of people. Nasser, who plays Devarakonda's politician-father emerges from a car-blast with prosthetics that make him look like an Egyptian mummy. Cramming in too many real-life incidents from Tamil Nadu's politics sometimes proves a heavy burden for this suitably blithe take on the rot that has set into Indian politics.Īlso, Sathyaraj who was so impressive in Baahubali comes across as halfway powerful as the politician-hero's guide and mentor. It could have avoided some of the trite moments that have crept in willy-nilly. Nota is a simple, straightforward morality tale told with a dash of finesse and much sincerity. While the politicians in the film leave no trick untried to play dirty, the film plays it straight, resorting to no backhanded plot-maneuverings to attract our attention. Even after being designated the temporary CM, he is shown going out with friends for a night of hard partying, a binge that the Opposition later uses to prove how ill-equipped Varun is as Chief Minister. This guy is more a doer than a talker who focuses on dealing with political humbug with the same enthusiasm that he invests to his playstation.Īnd play, this playboy-politician certainly does. His Varun, the reluctant CM, is not prone to fits of hysterical sermonizing. There is a kind of operatic earnestness about the film, a sense of heightened social consciousness neatly balanced by Devarakonda's minimalist performance. This engaging film rips off headlines from Indian politics and makes them its own. Watch how Devarakonda's Varun combats the lazy indifferent attitude of cabinet ministers during a flood-relief stint, straight out of the calamity faced in Tamil Nadu, with stinging sarcasm, probably lost on the people we choose to represent us in Indian politics. He is at once the dynastic insider in Indian politics by birth and the cynical outsider by nature. He challenges the status quo without assuming messianic ambitions. We get big doses of both in this headline-hefty political parable.ĭevarakonda fits into the role of the questioning chief minister with a hand-in-glove familiarity. ![]() Vijay Deverekonda, easily the most promising actor to emerge from Telugu cinema since Mahesh Babu, plays the scion of a political family who finds himself sucked into the murky politics of present-day India where horse-trading and money laundering is a way of life. Ranbir Kapoor in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti and Mahesh Babu in Bharat Ane Nenu were forced to take charge of their father's political empire when a crisis beckoned them from their luxurious life abroad. ![]() We have seen stars play the reluctant politician before. ![]()
