It's definitely not boasting to say that Devadas is well known name in Indian household. Right from 50s, movies were made almost all the '___woods'.
When Devadas is again announced in Telugu, where Nagarjuna is the lead while his father immortalized the character earlier, it was thought is it worth a risk.
Whereas when we book a seat to checkout Nagarjuna's Devadas, a major relief is it's not "The DEVADAS", it's a Devadas.
And here comes Nani onto share the screen as Das with Nag as Deva. The story is the fight between good and bad. The villain is just a role with hardly 3appearances overall. And nonetheless the idea good and bad was still kept intact. An innocent good guy striving to change egoist bad guy is the theme and handled very well.
1. Producer Ashwini Dutt's project
2. The title
3. Nag and Nani combination
Handled the script with maturity keeping upto the tag of Vyjayanti movies. An extra star was subtracted for few glitches.
