RAJANNA

     STORY:
       
     The story of Rajanna has been narrated by Nagarjuna earlier, so we will not go into too much detail. But here is a brief account for those who are not familiar with it. The movie is set in the early 1950′s in the village of Nelakondapalli in Adilabad district. The entire story revolves around the lives of Rajanna ( Nagarjuna ) and his daughter Mallamma (Annie) and the sacrifices they make for the good of the people. Mallamma loses both her parents (Nagarjuna and Sneha) in her childhood and she grows up under the care of an elderly villager. She has a natural gift for singing and she is admired by all. Her song angers the Dorasani (Shwetha Menon) and she forbids Mallamma from singing ever again. A frightened Mallamma decides to head out to New Delhi to meet Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and bring the difficulties of her people to his notice.

        But she is pursued by Dorasani and her people even in Delhi. As she loses all hope, the story of Rajanna and his heroic struggle for the people of Nelakondapalli is narrated to Mallamma by her music teacher (Nasser). What does an inspired Mallamma do? Will she finally get to meet Nehru and solve the problems of her people? That is the story.
Performances
First, a standing ovation to Baby Annie for a superb performance that will win her many awards. Another round of applause to Akkineni Nagarjuna for having the courage and conviction to come up with a good movie that stays true to the script.
Annie is outstanding in the role of Mallamma. Her expressions, mature portrayal of multiple emotions and her simple looks will endear her to the public. You will root for Mallamma as she goes about overcoming her obstacles one by one.
Nagarjuna has delivered an excellent and refined performance as Rajanna. His flowing mane and tall physique are perfectly suited for the role. He is outstanding in the action sequences and he has delivered the emotional lines well. Sneha is good in the limited role she has as Rajanna’s wife Lacchamma

Shwetha Menon is good as the evil Dorasani. Nasser and Gandhi do well in their allotted roles. Satyadev is good in the role of Dilawar Khan. Mukesh Rishi exudes evil. Hema, Telangana Sakunthala and Vijay Kumar are good in their cameos. Ajay, Supreeth, Sravan and Pradeep Rawath are good as the four friends of Rajanna
