My Review:

Story:

Blade Babji (Allari Naresh) is a thief and lives in a slum in Rajamundry along with friends (Rithika, Harsha Vardhan and Khayyum). A builder asks the slumdwellers to vacate the land in three months or to pay the 4 crores. Blade Babji takes up the mission to earn Rs 4 Crores. He loots a bank in Vizag and hides the money in a building under construction. A month later when comes to site it turns out be headquarters of Police Commissioner's office. He happens to meet a young guy named Krishna Manohar (Srinivas Reddy) who is about join the police commissioner's office as S.I. Blade Babji kidnaps him and joins the police force in his place. How Blade Babji recovers that money with comedy of errors forms the rest of story.

Performances:

Naresh has done neat job. His acting in the spoofs of Pokiri and Tammudu are funny. Sayyali Bhagat has neither looks nor posses acting skills. She is bad choice. Rithika steals the show among the female leads. Ever dependable Brahamanandam and Krishna Baghavan are good. So are Dharmavarapu and other comedians.

Technically the film is too weak to write anything about. Music by Koti is passable. Director Devi Prasad and writer Vegesna Satish have succeeded in creating some funny scenes.

Analysis:

If you are looking for just entertainment not bothering about logic, then Blade Babjee provides you enough entertainment. Although it is not hilarious movie, yet it provides some good laughs here and there. It is kind of movie that made in the style of EVV’s earlier movies - making parody on blockbuster movies and creating fun out of errors. The spoofs on Pokiri, Pawan Kalyan’s Tammudu, etc are really entertaining. The biggest comic episode in the movie is about a ‘blanket’ in which the money is put. The last 20 minutes are hilarious. Although the style of presentation is far from modern standards with poor cinematography, it can be watched for its comedy of errors.

On the down side, it has no logic. Music, heroines, cinematography, poor production values are substandard.

Final Analysis:

If you are not looking for logic and excuse poor taking, Blade Babji provides ample entertainment. It might not work for overseas and ‘A’ center audiences but it definitely is a sure bet on B and C Centres. Some spoofs and two, three funny episodes are really entertaining.
