Story

Bhanumathi (Swathi) is kicked out of her sales executive job, as she would have produced bogus certificates. Vamsi (Navadeep) is a small time thief and he falls for Bhanumathi, while she uses him to rob the gold in her office, which is actually meant to be given as Sankranti gift offers for customers. And whether the two succeed in stealing the gold or not forms the rest of the story.

Plot

Bhanumati is a sales executive of Energee Drinks and is thrown out of the job despite her good sales record because she would have produced false certificates at the time of joining, as she is desperate for a job. Vamsi falls in love with Bhanu but she shows no interest, as she feels he is not serious guy. However, she hatches a plan to rob the gold bars that her company aims at distributing to its customers on the occasion of Sankranti and thus Bhanu takes Vamsi’s help to succeed in her master plan. And like any other robbery stories Bangaru Kodi Petta too has its twists and turns in the story that lead to a confusing climax and you will have to watch the film to know if Bhanu and Swathi succeed in their robbery or not.

Performances

Navedeep has excelled in his performance; he has rather essayed his role with a lot of ease and has delivered a balanced performance, be it romantic, emotional or comic scenes, the actor is very impressive. Swathi has also delivered a lovely performance as well and especially in comedy scenes the actress has given her best shot.

Ram, Lakshman, Harshavardhan and Santosh have done a commendable job.

Technical Department

Sahir Raza’s cinematography is exceptional and music by Mahesh Shankar is melodious. Editing department could certainly have done a better job. Else, there is not much to talk of the technicalities of the film.

MnG Analysis

The film takes off well and you can sit through the first half easily with comic scenes strewn here and there but the second half you will tend to lose patience as the narration gets slow and thereon the film drags, which is the major let down. Navdeep is definitely the guy to watch out for and Swathi is very expressive and is refreshingly good in comic sequences. The supporting cast is also good but the story on the whole has nothing fresh to offer rather it is very similar to any of the robbery films that we have watched earlier. Superb cinematography and good music are the highlights of the film. Editing could have been a lot crispier especially after the interval.

Verdict

Bangaru Kodi Petta is not a must-watch mainly because if you are looking for a fresh story, then film is not the one for you. Yes, if you are the curious type then watch it for good performances and it is certainly not bad for a time pass!
