Story :
Srihari and Prakash Raj are step brothers (rivals) and Kota Srinivasa Rao is their father. Indu (Samantha) is Prakash Raj's nephew while Bhoomi (Kajal Agarwal) Srihari's nephew. Cutting back to the city, Krishna (Jr NTR) is a dynamic chap from a rich family and is in love with Indu. When Prakash Raj tried to arrange Bhoomi marriage with Ajay, she says that she's in love in another one. Bhoomi then approaches Indu and requests Krish act like his boyfriend and Indu convinces NTR to act like Bhoomi's boyfriend. And when NTR goes to the village to set things right, he discovers that Indu and Bhoomi come from same family. The movie encapsulates how Krish unites Srihari and Prakash Raj and with whom he enters wedlock.
Going by the posters, we thought NTR would bring in the magic with a touch of class in Brindavanam. But the movie turns out to be just another masala mix.
The major plus point is that Brindavanam has been shot well. The comedy is hilarious, though parts of it are outdated.
The plot? Krishna alias Krish (NTR) is the son of a millionaire (Mukesh Rishi) in Hyderabad.
His girlfriend Indu (Samantha) has a friend Bhumi (Kajal). The twist is that Bhumi's dad (Prakash Raj) wants to get her married to her cousin (Ajay) - a match Bhumi is against. She bluffs and tells her family that she has already fallen in love with a guy.
Indu helps her by letting her "rent" Krish as her fiance, just so that she can escape marriage for the time being.
Krish goes to Bhumi's village as her "fake" lover and successfully solves the rivalry between the girl's dad and his brother (Srihari). Impressed with Krish, Bhumi's dad accepts him and declares him his future son-in-law.
Now, Indu has no other go but to get back her lover. What happens next? That forms the crux of the family drama.
Though NTR plays a role that doesn't suit his image, he does it with elan. His dialogues are simply superb. For the first time, NTR tried to play a lover boy - Whether the audience will accept that remains to be seen. Kajal's role is dull from the start to finish, while Samantha too cannot enliven the mood. They just play glam dolls without soul. Prakash Raj and Srihari do routine roles.
The story is far removed from originality. For instance, there is a touch of Allu Arjun's Happy in Brindavanam. It also has shades of Ram's Maska, Chiranjeevi-starrer Bavagaru Bagunnara, Balakrishna's Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Ready and Bindas.
Director Vamsy Paidipalle seems to have only one thing in mind – to a give a commercial hit. Screenplay is fast in second half, compared to the first half. The plus point of the movie is the entertaining second half. But, if you are a serious movie-goer, stay away from Brindavan.
The comedy is the lifeline of the movie with hilarious scenes from Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav and NTR. The songs are not impressive and a couple of numbers have average appeal. Music by Taman is just average. Cinematography is a big plus point to the film. Editing is crisp.
