What's it about?

A builder asks the slumdwellers to vacate the land in three months or to pay the 4 crores. Blade Babji takes up the mission to earn Rs 4 Crores. He loots a bank in Vizag and hides the money in a building under construction. A month later when comes to site it turns out be headquarters of Police Commissioner's office. He happens to meet a young guy named Krishna Manohar (Srinivas Reddy) who is about join the police commissioner's office as S.I. Blade Babji kidnaps him and joins the police force in his place. How Blade Babji recovers that money with comedy of errors forms the rest of story.
Analysis
If you are looking for just entertainment not bothering about logic, then Blade Babjee provides you enough entertainment. Although it is not hilarious movie, yet it provides some good laughs here and there. It is kind of movie that made in the style of EVV’s earlier movies - making parody on blockbuster movies and creating fun out of errors. The spoofs on Pokiri, Pawan Kalyan’s Tammudu, etc are really entertaining. The biggest comic episode in the movie is about a ‘blanket’ in which the money is put. The last 20 minutes are hilarious. Although the style of presentation is far from modern standards with poor cinematography, it can be watched for its comedy of errors.
On the down side, it has no logic. Music, heroines, cinematography, poor production values are substandard.
Performances
Naresh has done neat job. His acting in the spoofs of Pokiri and Tammudu are funny. Sayyali Bhagat has neither looks nor posses acting skills. She is bad choice. Rithika steals the show among the female leads. Ever dependable Brahamanandam and Krishna Baghavan are good. So are Dharmavarapu and other comedians.
Technically the film is too weak to write anything about. Music by Koti is passable. Director Devi Prasad and writer Vegesna Satish have succeeded in creating some funny scenes.
Bottom-line!
If you are not looking for logic and excuse poor taking, Blade Babji provides ample entertainment. It might not work for overseas and ‘A’ center audiences but it definitely is a sure bet on B and C Centres. Some spoofs and two, three funny episodes are really entertaining.

Hero movie review
Labels:
Hero movie review
Cast:
Nitin, Bhavana, Brahmanandam, Nagababu, Kovai Sarala, Ramya Krishna and others
Dialogues: Nivas
Lyrics: Anant Sri Ram, Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar
Choreography: Nobel, Prem Rakshit
Fights: Kanal Kannan
Art: Anand Sai
Music: Mani Sharma
Cinematography: C Ram Prasad
Editing: Marthand K Venkatesh
Producer: Manyam Ramesh
Director: GV Sudhakar Naidu
The Film
This is one more film, where its makers think that a few songs, dances and fights should be composed first and the gaps to be filled with some scenes so that the film’s duration clocks 120 minutes.
The Synopsis
Radhakrishna (Nitin) is just an aimless young fellow wasting his time here and there. His father Nagendra Naidu (Naga Babu) is a police officer who wants his son to join the police force. Radhakrishna’s mother (Kovai Sarala) wants him to be a film star.
Suddenly, Radhakrishna is shown undergoing training in a police academy. He meets Krishna Veni (Bhavana) who is also being trained at the academy. After a couple of love-scenes and songs later a TV channel claims that Krishna Veni is a naxalite.
The rest of the story deals with unraveling the so-called secret of Krishna Veni being a naxalite.
The Performance
Nitin and Bhavane look like fish out of water, particularly if that water is called a story. Nagababu and Ramyakrishna have just gone through their motions. Kovai Sarala plays a weird role, perhaps attempting to look comic and ends up on a queer note. Even Brahmanandam is seen giving an insipid performance.
The Techniques
GV Sudhakar Naidu should surely revert back to his bit-role acting in films rather than directing them.
This film clearly shows that GV does not know the fundamentals of story telling, screenplay writing and direction. The contrived incidents are an assault on the minds of the audience.
Manisarma gave good music and Ramprasad handled the camera well, but of what use, when the film does not have a story to tell? Kannan is there because he has job to do.
The Verdict
The best place for the cans of this film to be in…is not in theatres, but the nearest trash can, because even the front benchers, for whom the film appears to have been made, should also be spared from a traumatic viewing experience.
Please forget that the film Hero by GV was ever made. It is such a colossal waste of valuable film and financial resources, in addition to invaluable time.
The Rating
2 out of 5
