Konda Telugu Movie Review: RGV is one of India’s greatest filmmakers, and he’s known for his love of violence, which we’ve seen in his films for the past 30 years. Now, he’s back with another biopic, Konda, which tells the story of former Telangana politician Konda Murali, and the trailers have raised expectations, despite the fact that RGV hasn’t made a biopic in a while.
Story
The story of Konda Murali takes place in Telangana in 1990, where he is a college student who becomes fascinated by the Indian constitution while perusing library books. At the same time, the city is racked by political strife, and Konda Murali becomes a criminal for the greater good. How did he become a criminal? And how did he become a politician if he was a convicted felon?.” All of this can be learned only by watching the film.

Sriram, Parvathi Arun, Prashanth Karthi, Tulasi, and Abhilash Chaudary star in Konda directed by Ram Gopal Varma, with cinematography by Malharbhatt Joshi, music by DSR, and background score by Anand Kollabathula.

Movie Verdict
Since he has made some of the best biopics ever, RGV is known for making biopics. Raktha Charithra and Veerappan are two of the best examples of RGV’s work. RGV’s voiceover is an effective way to introduce the audience to the Konda world early on, and I thought it worked well in the film.
As RGV showed in the first half how Konda Murali became a criminal and those situations were captured so well, and Konda Surekha’s characters were placed so well in the story as RGV used her character perfectly and the second half mostly focused on his political journey and RGV showed some brilliant scenes in the second half, but the story gets overstretched in proceedings.
Several scenes with Thrigun as Konda work well because we are used to him as a lover boy, but Irra Mor’s performance is mediocre and the rest of the cast, including Prudhvi Raj, LB Sriram, and Tulsi, all perform admirably.
Vintage RGV is definitely evident in this film, as he once again demonstrated why his style is so unique, there are numerous scenes where you can see brilliant camera work and writing, and RGV was able to successfully engage the audience.
Although production values could have been higher, the cinematography by Malharbhatt Joshi is good and he captured a few scenes so well; the songs by DSR are good because Surakamma will be a chartbuster, and the background score by Anand Kollabathula is not up to par because we have heard this type of bgm in RGV’s previous films, but the rest of the technical departments did well.
This is RGV’s long-awaited return to the big screen, and fans of the actor will want to see Konda.
Movie Rating: 3/ 5
