Badrinath (2011)

People are voting emotionally.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Badrinath - this film became so popular that I failed to resist myself from watching this film. I thought the film to be good, but it is more than good-excellent!Badri (Allu Arjun) is a warrior assigned to protect the Badrinath temple under the guidance of martial arts and spiritual guru Bhishma (Prakash Raj). But one day,the guru starts to doubt Badri when Alakananda(Tamannaah), who starts to love Badri,walks in that temple with his grandfather.The rest of the story is about how Badri saves Alakananda from her ruthless uncle and wins her and Guru Bhishma Narayan.The story-screenplay and direction by V.V.Vinayak is excellent.The performances by Allu Arjun,Tamannaah and others are also praiseworthy.The music by Keeravani and VFX by Makuta VFX is excellent. The locations,cinematography are also a masterpiece. The action sequences by Peter Heins are mind blowing! The production by Geetha Arts is also very good. The application of warrior concept in the modern day is fantastic.On the whole, Badrinath is a solid entertainer that will establish Allu Arjun as a mass hero and will entertain everyone. A must watch for all!!!!

The writing on the wall is clear: the mega success & ringing cash- registers of "Magadheera" has prompted the makers to attempt "Badarinath". Sadly none in the production team cared less to deliver a good Chandamama story. Everyone seems to be blinded by the glitter and gloss of the production values that results in a soulless pot boiler called "Badrinath".Allu Aravind has put in lots of effort especially in the action sequences. Sadly he should have concentrated on his performance too. Tamanna plays as usual the glam-doll, a stereo type character she prefers.Prakash Raj is loud. Kelly Dorjee & Ashwini Kalsekar are passable.The plot opens up with lots of promise but sadly loses it steam as it chugs along and passes through the predictable path offering nothing new to the audience in terms of novelty."Magadheera" was a game-changer. It awakened the mythological sentiments which was lying dormant in the Telugu audience. And certainly the credit goes to the unstinted effort poured by Rajamouli. V V Vinayak clearly has a long way to go before he can make a mark for himself.

great disappointment for the fans who awaited the movie.Didn't reach the expectations,but can watch the film just for arjun's dance & fights.people will chant the mantra of god while watching the film.Locations are fantastic.the second half of the movie doesn't have any story and is filled with songs..comedy is good.characterization of tamanna is not OK.screenplay of the movie was a major drawback.so finally the movie can be just seen once and we have to wait for another good movie from allu arjun.the plus points of the movie are Locations,settings of the god temple,dance,fights,comedy.the minus points are weak screenplay,story,situation less songs...etc...,

Badri (Allu Arjun) is one of the disciples of Bheeshma (Prakash Raj), who is a guru of ancient martial arts. Badrinath grows up into a strong fighter under Bheeshma's rigorous training. He will be appointed as the 'kshetra palakudu' (protector) of Badrinath temple. Alakananda (Tamanna), an atheist comes to Badrinath along with her grandfather. Badri learns that she is in big trouble due to Sarkar (Kelly Dorjee). Alakananda slowly realizes the greatness of Badrinath and turns a devotee. She also falls for Badri who doesn't reciprocate to her love. Bheeshma decides to make Badri his successor by handing over the responsibility of Takshasila. For that Badri has to remain bachelor forever. Not aware of his guru's decision and Alakananda's real feelings towards him Badri gives her a word that he will help her to visit Barinath temple again as she has to do that to make her wish come true. Alakananda prays Lord Badrinath to help her succeed in her love. Bheeshma takes a word from Badrinath that he would take up his duties as a true successor to him. So who wins? How does Badrinath overcomes this contrasting situation?
