Navadeep and Swathi New Telugu Film Bangaru Kodipetta Movie Review:
Telugu actors Navdeep and Swati Reddy have made a grand comeback with Guru Films' debut film Bangaru Kodipetta, which has hit the marque today (March 7). The title of the movie has created lot of curiosity among film goers as it has been named after the super-hit song of Chiranjeevi's Gharana Mogudu. Having a fresh storyline, the flick is a good masala entertainer that will impress Telugu audience.

Story:
The story of Bangaru Kodipetta starts off with a shootout when Vamsi (Navadeep) accidentally fires his gun at a guy in his car on highway. When he steps out from his car, a speeding vehicle runs over him. Then the story starts revolving who Vamsi is, and the other person is.
In a linear format the story goes like this… Bhanumati (Colors Swathi) works at an energy drink company. She is in dire need of money and comes to know that a truck will be coming to Hyderabad from Bangalore carrying gold bars. She hatches a plan to steal them with her friend Vamsi (Navadeep), who has a past history as a petty thief. A Pizza delivery boy who came to Hyderabad to become hero and a rich farmer in Bheemavaram are interlinked with their story. What happens next is the rest of the drama.

Artists Performance:
Navadeep is a fine actor who is not getting the right scripts. BKP film gives him ample scope to show his work. Swathi is pretty good as a girl who is desperate for a kill. She sets the ball rolling in the film. Santosh plays the role of a wannabe actor and he is nice. Ram Laxman are natural in the roles of rival siblings. Sanchalana is cute as Shruti. Harsha Vardhan plays a vital role has various shades and he plays it very convincingly.

Techincal and Other Departments:
Raj Pippalla excels in this film as a screenplay writer. He has written three stories and intertwined them with nice screenplay. The way each character enters during the heist phase is well written and executed. Though all the three stories converge well, I expect bonhomie and liveliness in presenting characters and establish them in the first half. His scenes of auditions and the concept of bheja fry didn’t work well on screen. The lacklustre execution in first half lets us down. However, second half works due to situational strength. It’s nice to see director coming up with moralistic ending despite having attractive theme of robbery.  Music by Mahesh Shankar is alright. All songs in this film are used for montage shots. Background music is fine. Cinematography by Shahir Raza is normal and we except glossy cinematography for a film of this nature. Dialogues by Prasad Varma Penmatsa go are okay. Editing by Dharmendra Kakarala and Chandrasekhar GV should have been crisp. The graphics (letters used for the dialogues uttered by Pizza delivery boy) are cool. Producer Sunitha Tati should be commended for choosing a new storyline and delivering it fresh.

Movie Analysis:
First half of the film is little boring. It’s the second half that matters for any heist film. Second half of the film is nice and is well executed due to situational strength provided by good screenplay. We have a few anthology films (multiple story lines) in Telugu. Our Telugu audiences are yet to get used to these kind of films. Bangaru Kodi Petta is such attempt to make a good anthology film with the backdrop of heist. We have to wait and see how regular movie lovers embrace it.

Final View:
A bit slow but Bangaru Kodipetta has interesting second half. It is Multi-narrative film with dash of romance and robbery-gone-wrong elements.
