Pratidhwani story at a glance
Pratidhwani is a unique film which removed the cliché that Sarada can be confined to only sad and sentiment oriented roles. There are two shades in the character she adorned in this film. While one is the role of a responsible wife, mother, and a sister, the other is a sincere and hard working police officer! While the first role featured her as a peaceful person and relaxed individual, the second role shows her in fiery and aggressive mode. Sarada did complete justice to both these contrasting shades. After the success of Pratighatana in 1985, dialogue writers Paruchuri Brothers designed this female centric role based film. Though Vijayasanti got the name of Tollywood’s Police Officer with Kartvyam which came later, Sarada proved her own style as a Police Officer by doing such role much before.
Story Details:
Jhansi Lakshmi (Sarada) is a circle inspector by profession and a lovable family person from heart. Her husband Chandrasekhar (Sarath Babu) is a workers union head for a spinning mill. He strives hard for the workers’ rights and a sincere gentleman. The spinning mill owner Bapineedu (Nutan Prasad), his brother Ankieedu (Chalapathi Rao) and his son Rajesh ( Rajesh) are quite cunning people. They have the political support of former MLA Veeraiah (Paruchuri Gopala Krishna). The wrongdoings of this group is constantly questioned by Jhansi and her husband Chandrasekhar. Bapineedu tries to coax Chandrasekhar and when it doesn’t work out he gets the latter killed. Jhansi takes the help of her brother (Arjun) and fights against the evil group. She does lot of hard work to get the justice and finally succeeds.
Performances:
Sarada is wonderful as the woman of two shades- A sincere police officer and a family person. Her acting in emotional scenes is fantastic. Sarath Babu is earthly as Chandrasekhar who fights for workers rights. Nutan Prasad is perfect as the evil owner of the spinning mill. Chalapathi Rao and Rajesh are good as the bad guys. Arjun gets a wonderful role as the brother of Jhansi in the film. Paruchuri Gopala Krishna does a stunning job as the crooked MLA.
Technical Aspects:
Paruchuri Brothers turned successful by penning a strong woman centric film with stark realities and fantastic characterizations. Their dialogues are hard hitting without losing the entertainment value. Music by Chakravarthy is adequate and the title song became all time hit by energizing the audience with aggressive lyrics by Veturi. Direction by B. Gopal is at its commercial best and the film is supported by good production values from Suresh Productions house.
