Movie Mogul Ramanaidu has come up with this low budget flick and this one also marks the comeback of ‘Happy Days’ hero Rahul. Let us see how the film is.

Story
Pawan (Navdeep), Maruti (Rahul) and Anji (Srinivas Avasarala) are three friends who try to settle big in life despite no good educational or financial background. They plan to kidnap JP (Ahuthi Prsad) for making money but JP gets heart attack and Pawan helps him out of danger on time. The former, who was impressed with Pawan for his kind nature offers jobs to the three guys in his company situated in Malaysia. He also promises to makes them his son-in-laws by getting them married to his daughters Shraddha Das, Sanjanna and Soumya. How does Pavan, Maruti and Anji impress JP and his three daughters is the rest of the story.

Performances:
Navadeep has always been known as a confident actor. Expressions, diction are his forte and with good energy levels, he proves himself as the hero among the three.

Rahul looks handsome and gives sincere efforts. If he can work on his dialogue delivery and expressions, it will polish him well.

Avasarala Srinivas doesn’t get even one scene to prove his mettle. He just has to go with the other two heroes.

Shraddha, Sanjjanaa, Soumya are nowhere near passing mark in acting. However, they compensated that by wearing skimpy outfits and giving a visual feast.

Sivaji was wasted in guest role. Reemma lost her charms as a heroine. Though Ali got a meaty role, he was not given scope to perform. Brahmanandam comes in the end to salvage the situation but in vain. Ahuti Prasad, Venu Madhav and others did their roles in routine manner.

Highlights

It will require the help of ‘Mugguru’s team to fill this slot

Drawbacks

This requires atleast three pages space

Analysis:
In an attempt to churn a comedy, the film turns out to be a tragedy.

First half goes in a mild manner with not a single moment of laughter and it goes into a twist before the interval bang.

Then comes the second half with a dreadful flashback which whiles away the time till climax.

The final stage has a funny villain entering and this culminates into a botched up climax. This results in severe torture to the audiences.

At the box office, the B, C centers might bring some openings due to the name of the banner and skin show of the leading ladies. Revenue can be got through satellite rights etc.

Final Verdict:
If you are fixed to watch ‘Mugguru’, take three people along with you. They are compulsory to share your sorrows. Old Story Re-told with additional mass-masala elements. Mugguru is not for those who are looking for uniqueness and freshness.
