Chiranjeevi Shankardada Zindabad Review

Story:
In order to meet and impress radio jockey, Jahnavi(Karishma kotak), Shankar Prasad alias Shankardada(Chiranjeevi) dons the guise of a Gandhian Professor, wins a contest, appears on the radio, has a date with Jahnavi, gets to meet Jahnavi's family, consisting of six elderly gentlemen who live at a palatial house called '2nd Innings', and wins a place in her heart. While Shankardada, Jahnavi, and the residents go on a trip to Goa, '2nd Innings' is taken over by builder Raja Lingam(sayaji shinde) , who intends to give this away as a dowry gift for his daughter(Sada), when she gets married to Suresh(Pawan Kalyan). An enraged Shankardada is all set to confront Raja Lingam and seize the house back, but decides to do it the Gandhian way-Gandhigiri.How he influence the lives of many other people with the gandhigiri and wins the love of Jahnavi is the rest of the story.
Highlights:Concept(Rajkumar Hirani) of the film is the very highlight.Setting things right with gandhigiri with evoking the human side of inhuman people is excellent.The concept of the film is of top "class" and is very complex to make it as a movie appealing to all classes(especially in Telugu).Some one with a Mega image can only take it to the masses.Chiranjeevi is successful in doing so with this film.It's a different film for Chiranjeevi too.His performance is of top class.

Prabhudeva did his best to present the film with the exact flavour.Most of the scenes,dialogues are true replica of the original Lage Raho Munnabhai..he is successful in inserting as many as comic elements whenever possible.Though he didn't choreograph the songs...one can see his touch in the songs too.
Music(Devisri Prasad)is good.3 Songs are very good on screen with decent choreography and colourful sets.Paruchuri brothers dialogues are ok(mostly translations).climax scene dialogues are good.First half is good with comedy(college scene is hilarious) and good songs.second half is ok.Climax is good with neat dialogues and the presence of Pawan Kalyan.

Side lights:Heroine is bad.she is not good at either looks or performance.she is not even elegible for a 5minutes of item song in a Chiranjeevi movie.Chiranjeevi looks stout.Audience who have seen Lage Raho Munnabhai aren't fully satisfied with this movie.Etc.., Etc..,

Raviteja,Allu Arjun,Nagababu appears in Jagadeka veeruniki song.Brahmanandam,Gundu Hanumantha rao done the regular roles of astrologers as guru& sishya.MS Narayana,Sunil appears for a while and all of them did their jobs well.

Public Talk: worth watchingIndustry talk:It's a different film for Chiranjeevi with no regular heavy dialogues, fights.Less entertaining compared to Shankardada MBBS..but it won't disappoint anybody who step into the theatre.It will work at the Box Office with the strength of Chiranjeevi and heavy promotion of the producers(Gemini TV).This biggest ever release will grab the max.openings but may not sustain it in the long run.
