Storyline

Set in 1930’s during the World War II, the story deals with Dhoopati Hari Babu (Varun Tej) who is a lower middle class guy who plans to get into a good position in life. He loves Seetha Devi (Pragya Jaiswal) a rich lady from higher caste, but their love is strongly opposed by the village heads in the society and Seetha’s family including her brother Eshwar (Nikethan Dheer). How does Hari Babu solve his problems? How he becomes a soldier in a war and how the proceedings does turn is the rest.

Artist Performances

Varun Tej is brilliant in his role and he has improved a lot in Kanche from his debut. He carries the entire role very impressively and has emoted well as an aggressive soldier or as lovable person in flashback.

Pragya Jaiswal is royal and Kanche is definitely her big-break in Tollywood. Besides looking beautiful, she also acted well and proved her mettle. She is pretty in the songs too.

Niketan Dheer is very impressive in the negative role, and he takes the movie to other level. Scenes featuring him and Varun Tej are gripping.

Veteran actor Gollapudi Maruthi Rao and Singeetham Srinivasa Rao are perfect in their roles, while Srinivas Avasarala is hilarious like his paradoic song against Hitler. Posani and Sathyam

Rajesh are just okay, while other fits the bill.

Technicians Role

Camera work is a visual treat; the locales are all beautiful and the war scenes are brilliant. The songs are all pleasing, and the special mention to the very meaningful Sirivennela. BGM is elevating.  Sai Madhav Burra pens some of the thought-provoking and beautiful lines taking the movie to other level. Sahi Suresh’s art work is amazing and editing is decent. Krish has done a decent job as director but the screenplay is a bit slow-paced. Production values are rich.

Analysis

      

Krish has always opted for movies with realistic backdrop and relatable characterizations, and Kanche is yet another such path-breaking attempt that lacks commercial elements, but has thought-provoking lines and message-based elements on society.

Stunning performances, top-notch visuals, clever writing and touching dialogues only added to be asset for the movie. However, the narration is slow and the pace slackens in the second half.  The screenplay is quite different from the regular Telugu commercial elements. Krish however avoids melodrama and is stuck to the subject.  The parallel narration of both love story and the war episode are narrated well.

Despite the strong emotional content, the film does not adopt much of preachy and melodramatic mode, but lacked some intensity in the war zone part. Nevertheless, Kanche is a very different film and yet another path-breaking attempt from Krish with brilliant performance by Varun Tej.

Finally

Kanche- Intense & Heart-wrenching Saga!

RATING 3/5
