Karthi has become a familiar name among the Telugu audiences with the success of some of his dubbed movies in Telugu. In order to cash in on his popularity and fan following, the producers started making films in bilinguals. His latest movie Sakuni is one such attempt. The film has many Telugu artistes like Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Radhika, Roja, Pranitha and others. When it comes to the story....
Kamal Krishna (Karthi) is a normal middle class guy and he wants to save his house in Samalkot as the government is planning to
construct a railway sub-way. In a bid to save it, he meets ChiefMinister Bhupati (Prakash Raj), but he is insulted by him. To teach him a lesson, Kamal supports opposition leader Perumal (Kota Srinivasa Rao). What kind of steps Kamal takes to teach a lesson to Bhupati? Will he be able to save his ancestral house? Answers to these questions
are to be seen on the screen.
Performance: In Sakuni, Karthi steals the show with his
wonderful performance. He has taken whole responsibilityof running
the show on his shoulder. Pranitha has no much scope except to
shake legs with the hero. Santhanam tickles the funny
bones of audiences. Prakash Raj,Kota Srinivasa Rao, Roja,
Radhika, Anushka, Andrea, Kiran Rathod have also done justice to
their respective roles.

Technical: PH Muttaiah's cinematography is bright and average,
while Srikar Prasad's editing is very dull. GV Prakash Kumar's music
is below the par and none of the songs are impressive and
foot-tapping. Even the background score is very dull and the
poor re-recording fails to elevate the scenes.
The director has chosen an excellent storyline with political
backdrop, but has failed to narrate it properly. All the scenes
are bits and pieces as he has chosen a novel way to narrate in
the form of flashbacks. The entire film looks very dull
due to unimpressive screenplay. He has also failed to tap
the energies of Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nazar,
Radhika and Karthi. Roja's character is wasted.
All the dialogues in the film had the Tamil scent and lacked
local touch. The production values of Bellamkonda are good.
The entire first half of the film is devoted to narration of silly
points in the form of flashbacks. Second half takes fast pace
for some time, but the director lose grip on the subject again.
Remarks: Watch the film if you are a hardcore fan of Karthi.
Otherwise, you can wait for the DVD as the film is not that
exciting and interesting to watch by going to the theatre.
The commercial success of the film depends on how could
Karthi pulls audiences to the theatre.
