REVIEW FROM TOTALTOLLYWOOD.COM
After a gap, Balakrishna seems to have got the required break. P. Vasu, who recently delivered Chandramukhi, did his job well to keep up the expectations. Though there were many obstacles and the release was postponed numerous times, the film made it to the theaters finally without much hype. But the word of mouth will surely help the movie. However, unlike Balakrishna's recent movies, this is a family entertainer. There aren't any supernatural things.
Coming to the story, Bala (Balakrishna) is a music teacher in a school run by Chowdary (Naresh). Chowdary's daugther is Kalyani (Meera Jasmine). There is a dance school in the same town run by Chamundeswari (Jayaprada) and Krishna (Balakrishna again) is a dance teacher there. Bala is a soft guy, while Krishna is dynamic and aggressive. Kalyani falls in love with Krishna and joins the school of Bhairavi for Krishna. Though there is long term rivalry between these schools (for very good reason), Chamundeswari and Chowdary patch up. But Krishna reveals that he never loved Kalyani. What is the reason for rivalry between Chamundeswari and Chowdary? Why did Krishna deny the love of Kalyani? The story takes good number of twists before revealing the actual plot and it is worth watching it on the screen.
Kudos to P.Vasu is projecting Balakrishna in three characters - Bala, Krishna and Balakrishna. And Balakrishna did a great job with the three characters keeping them different from each other. Final outcome is that it is a one man show of Balakrishna on screen. Balakrishna in the roles of innocent music teacher role as Bala and as dynamic dance teacher Krishna is great in his role. He was also looking great with his bearded rough look in the second half. That reminds of Balakrishna from Nippuravva. His dialogs and mannerisms will touch the audience good. Especially, the fans will be excited in the scenes where Balakrishna teases Jayaprada by humming NTR songs like aresukoboyi paresukunna, o lammi thikka regindha etc.
Sneha did a performance oriented role and is good. Her pair with Balakrishna is good. Meera Jasmine as Kalyani is content in her role. She has put on some weight and looked chubby. Jayaprada is good in her role. Her glamor seems to be ever green. Pradeep Rawat, Totapalli Madhu, Rallapalli and others did their roles to content. Another character which had good scope in the film is that of Kovai Sarala's. She played mother to Balakrishna and is very good in her role. Usually she is seen in comedy roles. Her role in this film has serious shades along with comedy touch.
P. Vasu is successful in knitting a good narration with good twists. He tuned the film into a simple entertainer. Not much hype in any way but a simple entertainer. He did his best in making it a family entertainer. Though there are a few lag moments in the second half, the overall feel is decent. Another big asset to the film is Gurukiran's music. Though most of the songs are full with mass beats, Kamalakucha, Alaage Jagame songs are good in terms of soft. Background score is very good. Camera work by Sekhar V Joseph is good and he showed Balakrishna nicely. Stunts are novel and good. Production values are also rich.
Overall, the film stands out good among any recent releases of Balakrishna. The same applies to Balakrishna also. He looked better in this film than any of his recent releases. This is a decent family entertainer. This film is not for those who wants Balakrishna to create thunders at finger stroke. As a film that entertains, it is worth a watch.
TT Rating:Good film from Balakrishna
Box Office:Film is good and word of mouth will surely help it. The film has got good chances at the box office for 2 reasons. One - Film opened up with not much expectations and this positivie talk will help the film to a great extent. Two - Since there is no other strong film at this point, the film will go good. Openings are very good. If the talk sustains, the film will stand as a good hit for Balakrishna. Now it is all up to the makers with the publicity. Review by: Phani |

Indiaglitz vadidi. Hit annadu.
Maharathi - Music, Balayya's dances stole the show
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, February 01, 2007]
Balakrishna's fans have kept lots of expectations on 'Maharathi' directed by P Vasu of Chandramukhi-fame and produced by Vakada Appa Rao on the banner of Sri Lalitha Kalanjai Productions. In the wake of no worthy hits, 'Maharathi' gave Yuva Ratna Balakrishna some solace. However the directorial abilities of P Vasu helped him a lot in making the film a hit.
Chamundeswari (Jayaprada) is a rich woman and she is so arrogant and proud that she divorces her husband Naresh Rayudu (Naresh) and gets separated from him. They have two girl children. As per court orders the elder girl Bhairavi (Sneha) stays with Chamundeswari, the younger one Kalyani (Meera Jasmine) remains with Rayudu. Kalyani completes her MBA and loves her father very much. She wants to be number one in all aspects and chooses only number one in every aspect. Rayudu runs a music school, in which Bala (Balakrishna) is the teacher.
Chamundeswari after staying for so many years in London returns to India and starts a dance school. She too wants one of the best dance teachers for her school and finally ends up in selecting Krishna (Balakrishna) as dance teacher. Chamundeswari's ambition is to get Kalyani join her school and Krishna realizes her dream with his ability. Kalyani falls in love with Krishna, and Bala encourages her to love Krishna. On learning that Kalyani is loving Krishna, Rayudu though refuses in the beginning, was forced to go bring him as Kalyani demands that she wanted to marry Krish alone. Rayudu, though not interested to talk to Chamundeswari, has no option but to plead with her to convince Krishna for the marriage. Shedding her inhibition, Chamundeswari asks Krish to marry their daughter. Then both of them come to know that Bala and Krish are not two but only one. Here, he reveals the real story in a flashback.
Balakrishna (Balakrishna) is the son of Sarala (Kovai Sarala). Bhairavi (Sneha) reaches India to set up a music and dance school. She falls in love with Balakrishna, noticing that he is kind and good at heart. However, Chamundeswari pretends that she accepted their love, but tells Sarala how rich they are and alleges that Sarala had resorted to male prostitution. In a disturbed mine, Sarala walks to the middle of the road dies in a road accident. Realising that Sarala died due to her mother's attitude, Bhairavi also ends life. Balakrishna feels sad for the death of both his mother and Bhairavi, but soon decides to teach Chamundeswari a lesson. Finally the film ends on a happy note with the union of both Rayudu and Chamundeswari and also Balakrishna and Kalyani.
Balakrishna looked smart, slim and worked quite hard for the success of the film. He showed very good ease in dances. Both the heroines Sneha and Meera Jasmine filled the glamour slot and gave a neat performance. Despite reaching middle age, Jayaprada was still good at dancing and performed Bharata Natyam bit which is a highlight of the film. Her performance as an arrogant lady reminded the audiences of her old classic 'Sitaramulu', in which she played a rich lady and paired opposite Krishnamraju. She dominated the character like Vanishri in 'Bobbili Raja'.
Vasu's directorial abilities are visible in every frame. The action scenes choreographed well to suit the mass audiences. The film sans the routine violence, bloodshed and coerce dialogues like other Balakrishna-starrers. Melodious music, directorial abilities P Vasu made the film a good watch. Comedy took a back seat in the film with no separate comedy track. Kannada music director Gurukiran gave both mass and melodious tunes to the film and it was already proved that the audio is a chart buster. Cinematography by Sekhar V Joseph is worth watchable, while editing by Suresh Urs is good. Balakrishna stone the show and made the film worth watching.
Cast : Balakrishna, Sneha, Meera Jasmine, Jayaprada, Naresh, Kovai Sarala, Pradeep Rawat, Venumadhav, Satyam Rajesh, Sutti Velu, Gautamraju, Lakshmipati, Srinivasa Reddy, Anant, Jayaprakash Reddy, Ashokkumar, Ali, Navneet Kaur, Sudeepa, Geeta Singh and others.
Credits: Story and dialogues – Thotapalli Madhu, Cinematograph - Shekhar V Joseph, Editing - Suresh Urs, Action - Dalapati Dinesh, Presents – Rangana Adiseshaiah, Producer – Vakada Appa Rao, Direction – P Vasu
