Subash Chandra Bose's basic storyline provided by Satyanand offers some variety. But the direction and screenplay by Raghavendra Rao is a complete letdown. His 100th movie fails to elavate to his standards. First half of the movie is okay. Second half is boring. Climax is disappointing.
Story:
Ashok (Venkatesh) working in a TV channel with his girl friend Anita (Genelia), covers the meeting of a politician (Prakash Raj). Seeing Prakash Raj there, Ashok gets images from the bygone era. In a flash back, it is revealed that in the year 1946, a man named Subash Chandra Bose alias Chandram (Venkatesh) fights against local British officer (Gulshan Grover).
Subash Chandra Bose worships the real freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose. When the state governor (Tom Alter) comes to Chintapalli along with his daughter Diana for a brief vacation, Subash Chandra Bose welcomes him by blowing up the water tank in his palace. Enraged Governor asks his army to kill Bose. With the help of a local native Bandodu (Prakash Raj), the British army wipes out the entire village population including Bose’s lover (Shriya).In an act of betrayal by Bandodu, the army kills Bose too. Ashok realises that he is the reincarnation of Subash Chandra Bose and Prakashraj is Bandodu. In the climax Bose kills Bandodu.
Performance:
Venkatesh is impressive as Ashok. The character of Subash Chandra Bose did not suit Venkatesh. Genelia goes overboard. Shriya is sexy and her movements are very sensuous. Prakashraj hams his way . Gulshan Grover and Tom Alter as the British officers have done good job.
Music:
Mani Sharma’s music is impressive. The songs 'Ja Ji Ri Ja Ji Ri', 'Neredu Pallu' and the title song 'Subhash Chandra Bose' are the pick of the lot.
Verdict:
Average.
