Review in pics: Mogudu
1. Krishna Vamsi is unlike other directors. He never makes films following the current trend just to make some money.
He has his own set of likes and dislikes and he shows it clearly in all his films. His films are liked by family audiences as he is good at showing the virtues of a family and how a joint family with values is so much important more so in the present day material world. Let's see if Krishna Vamsi has continued this streak in his new film Mogudu.

Krishna Vamsi is unlike other directors. He never makes films following the current trend just to make some money.
He has his own set of likes and dislikes and he shows it clearly in all his films. His films are liked by family audiences as he is good at showing the virtues of a family and how a joint family with values is so much important more so in the present day material world. Let's see if Krishna Vamsi has continued this streak in his new film Mogudu. -
Anjaneya Prasad (Rajendra Prasad) is a happy and contented man. He lives happily with his son Ram (Gopichand) three daughters, sons in law, and grandchildren in the same house.
However he has one wish unfulfilled, that is to see his son marry and settle down in life. -
Ram is also very fond of his father and other family members. He keeps delaying marriage as he is apprehensive whether his wife will agree to live in a joint family.
Ram finally relents after he comes across Raja Rajeswari (Tapsee Pannu). She is the daughter of politician Chamundeshwari (Roja) and Naresh. -
The marriage is fixed as it turns out that Naresh and Rajendra Prasad are actually childhood friends. The marriage takes place but even before the newlyweds can go home a small issue between the two families get blown out of proportion and the two families break up the marriage and part ways.
-
But during their stay in Mauritius Ram and Rajeswari reconcile their differences and marry one again. They come back to India only to face the wrath of their respective families.
How they come out of the situation is what constitutes the rest of the film. -
Mogudu is a film that shows the values of joint family, friendship, responsibility, love and affection.
But Krishna Vamsi succeeds only partly in his mission. The trademark Vamsi style and magic is missing in the film.
As a whole, Mogudu is a mixed bag and may leave Krishna Vamsi fans asking for more.
