The chaos that ensues when Bantu finds out the truth about his father and enters Vaikunthapurram (the lavish home Ramachandra and his family stay at) in a bid to help them is worth watching. He seems more interested in his boss Ramachandra’s (Jayram) son Raj Manohar (Sushanth A) than his own and there’s a reason for it. The older man likes putting down his son at every opportunity, reminding him of his fate for having been born in a middle-class family.
The bane of Bantu’s (Allu Arjun) existence is his father Valmiki (Murli Sharma, giving a brilliant performance). But the film’s biggest strength is that you buy it all, even if Trivikram, yet again, tells the tale of a man who wants to help a family he cares about. The film sets up a lot of characters and ends up showcasing scenarios that are completely implausible. And when that doesn’t work, they’re of course beaten up black and blue, but in style. The evil-doers here are left to their own devices, in hope that karma will get to them. Review: Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is set in the soft-tinted, beautifully framed, pastel hued cotton-candy-land that Trivikram Srinivas builds. How Bantu’s life intersects with them forms the tale. Millionaire Ramachandra (Jayram) wishes his son Raj Manohar (Sushanth A) was more assertive.
Story: Bantu (Allu Arjun) grows up seeking validation from a cold-hearted father Valmiki (Murli Sharma) who puts him down at every step of his life.
