Critic Review
PothurajuPothuraju (Kamal Hassan) is an irresponsible villager and a brave warrior. He has a big bank balance and the most fertile farming land in his village. He has no problems in life. Kodanda Reddy (Pasupathi) and Nagama Naidu (Napoleon) are landlords in that village who eye the fertile land of Pothuraju. One day, a murder attempt is made on Pothuraju and Kodanda Reddy's niece Adi Lakshmi (Abhirami) rescues him. He instantly falls in love with her. But something terrible happens later and Pothuraju is framed in a murder case. From here the movie steps into a realm that is totally new with two narrations, by Kodanda Reddy and Pothuraju, of the same events that took place. You have to watch the movie to know more.
You have to wonder as the credits roll if the film really says much against capital punishment. After all, the central idea is that one murder cannot be redeemed by another, but apart from a couple of dialogues that say as much, the issue remains unexplor.
'Pothuraju' is the remake of a Tamil hit 'Virumandi' (released for this Sankranthi in Tamilnadu). First half is interesting. Second half is OK. The climax (jail fight) is stretched beyond the limits. Positive aspects of the film are 2-version narratio.
