Pothugadda Movie Story:
As the elections are approaching, the atmosphere in the 'Pothugadda' constituency in Kurnool is heating up. Samudra (Aadukalam Naren), who is the sitting MLA there, wants to win this time too. He declares his daughter 'Geetha' as the youth president. Bhaskar (Shatru), who has been losing to Samudra often, is determined to win this time. For this, he makes arrangements to distribute a large amount of money.
Samudra's daughter Geetha does not know maternal love. Her father has no other interest than politics. In such a situation, she falls in love with Krishna (Prithvi). She decides to leave the village with the intention of not allowing her father to marry her. One night, she sneaks out of the house. Thinking that if she goes out, her father tells his main follower Venkat to kill Krishna and bring Geetha back. He orders him to bring his daughter back before she crosses the 'Polimera'.
Bhaskar arranges 50 crores to distribute in the elections. Putting the money in a basket, his followers leave on a bus. Geetha and Krishna board the same bus. Venkat, knowing that they have gone on the bus going to 'Rayachoti', follows the bus and catches it. Venkat decides to complete his work as soon as the bus leaves for a deserted area at night. What happens then? What happens after that? This is the story.
Pothugadda Movie Analysis:
This is a story written by Raksha Veeram. It is a love story set in a rural setting .. It is a story that combines local politics there. The story continues between a couple who went to this place to make their love win .. and politicians who want to separate the couple and protect their honor .. and their positions. It is special that 90 percent of the story is set on a bus.
In fact, very few characters appear in this story. The entire story takes place on a bus traveling at night. Therefore, the audience gets the feeling of traveling along with the story. The beautiful .. innocent couple traveling in a bus at night .. and being targeted by politicians on one side .. and the police on the other side seems to be a suspenseful element.
In fact, it is very difficult to run the entire story in one bus without getting bored at all. But the screenplay written by the director keeps the audience sitting still. The introduction of new characters into the bus keeps the audience interested. There will also be an ending that will not disappoint the audience who have been waiting to see what will happen in the end.
Pothugadda Movie Performance:
The story revolves around the characters of the hero.. heroine.. her father.. his main follower.. the main enemy. All the artists who played these roles have done justice to their roles. The performance of Aadukalam Naren.. his main follower should be called the highlight of this film.
The screenplay written by the director should be said to be the main strength of this film. He has succeeded in interestingly presenting very simple content. The way the main characters are designed is good. Rahul Srivastava's camera work.. Marcus's background music.. Shivakiran's editing is not bad.
Conclusion:
Money changes many people's lives. Similarly, when it comes to fame, people also change. This is a film that shows that not only money and fame but also love has the power to change people. The director scores high marks in clearly stating this point.
