#MAHANATI has all the fine elements of a great cinema in making like it is biopic, also a parallel plot running in 1980 (Vijay Antony and madhura vani portrayed by vijay and samantha) to tell the story of savitri amma since childhood to her death bed. Mahanati is south India's answer to a legend. Perhaps it appeals to the region based film critics. Though the comedic scenes were bit of a mess. It doesn't sacrifice space for sub-par elements. The cinematography does need some mention. Samantha has established herself a prominent actress in the whole of south India and Vijay Deverakonda's next film is sure to make the counters ticking. Dulquer, Samantha all provided the performance that everyone expects. Keerthy Suresh has grown from a simple, 'cute' actress to someone who can wield powerful performances, if demanded. Mahanati's biggest plus might be its cast. It can be compared to, perhaps as a event that is to emphasize something more, rather than just a blunt scene. As much as i can differ between those which are fictionalized and those which are real, Mahanti has done that expertly. And i don't know how much Mahanati is fictionalized. Biographies often have the tendency to fictionalize certain events for dramatic purposes. From the loose opening to the grandeur ending, Mahanati is a gift to all those who embrace film in its raw form : to tell a story. It's not about the making, but how the story is told that makes it so damn exciting. But not all biographies achieve the reach and attention that Mahanati so easily gets. Mahanati will be a film that has the potential to be a classic. From Rangasthalam, Baahubali and Arjun Reddy, it has proven itself to be able to sustain well executed, brilliant films as well. Telugu film industry is probably considered by many as the place that houses simple, no nonsense mass masala films. But even from that itself i was able to witness an epic, drawn from a simple script and effort that makes this a great, if not, a must watch. From a person who has almost zero knowledge about the telugu film industry and its upbringing, Mahanati's aura and atmosphere will always be distant from me.
