‘Jai Simha’ is good for a one-time watch, and is purely just for the ‘Jai Balayya’ fans.Jai Simha, the latest film by director KS Ravikimar, is out in the theatres on 12 th January, and the much-awaited film of 2018 from the Telugu industry is continuing to create hype. The song ‘Ammakutti’ draws wolf-whistles from the crowd, for Balayya’s moves and the massy lyrics, but the rest of the songs are lukewarm. Brahmanandam is a delight to watch on-screen, even if the comedic track seems forced in an otherwise serious film. But post-interval, the film takes not just a predictable path, but also a borderline nonsensical one. The first half of ‘Jai Simha’ sets the pace for the film well, making one curious to where this is all heading. Balakrishna plays a role he has played a million times before and the story draws to a conclusion with a twist that isn’t exactly surprising either. The film is filled with twists and turns that will make one sit up and take notice, if only to be disappointed by the pay-off. Despite all the preachy dialogues and sporadic draggy bits, one cannot accuse ‘Jai Simha’ of not being entertaining enough.
To reveal more would be a great injustice to the film, as this is a story that must be watched on-screen, even if just for the nostalgia and entertainment factor. She literally runs to his beck and call and is all too happy to be married to him. Haripriya is a worker at Narasimha’s garage and a daughter figure turned wife, in the most bizarre twist in the history of Telugu cinema. But because this is a Balakrishna film, she must also change for the better and immediately begin wearing langa vonis and visit temples in penance. Because she’s a ‘foreign return’, she must wear skimpy clothes and do drugs. Natasha Doshi is the daughter of Murali Krishna (Murali Mohan), whose house Narasimha stays at. He seems to be fond of these two ladies too, even if his ‘one true love’ is, and will always remain to be Gowri. Gowri is a teacher, while Narasimha is a mechanic/rowdy and her father wants his daughter to have a safe and sound life.įor no reason other than to fill time and sing duets with our hero, Natasha Doshi and Haripriya also exist in this film. Her father doesn’t seem to approve of him either. But, Narasimha is too scared to ask Gowri’s father (Prakash Raj), the headmaster of the school they studied in, for her hand. The two grow up together and it’s only natural that they fall in love. Gowri (Nayantara) is his classmate and childhood sweetheart. But his character’s most admirable trait is his unselfish and sacrificial love for Gowri. A man like that is unlikely to be left without making an enemy out of the wrong crowd. The rapists, murderers, abusers, even the medical mafia all get what they deserve, all thanks to him. His character has taken it upon himself to be the saviour of Visakhapatnam, the city he resides in, and punish those who sin. Narasimha is a do-gooder rowdy with a golden heart, who only beats up people when it serves a greater good. This is Balayya’s film through and through, and there’s simply no space for anything else. His character and larger-than-life persona even overshadow the plot that seems right out of a retro film. It is purely a film made to elevate Balakrishna and his character Narasimha. Review: ‘Jai Simha’ is not a love story nor is it a family drama. Who is Narasimha and what did he do to make so many enemies? A death row inmate Rami Reddy (Ashutosh Rana) also seems to hold a grudge against Narasimha.
But while there, he bumps into Gowri (Nayantara) who seems to dislike him for some reason, despite being his childhood friend. He reaches Kumbakonam and stays at the house of the village temple’s dharma karta’s house. Story: Narasimha (Jai Simha) is a man on the run with his one-year-old son.
