Jithender Reddy, starring Rakesh Varre, is one of the new releases in Telugu. Billed to be a biographical drama, the film created an interest before its release. Check out the film's review here.
Story:
Born into an RSS Swayamsevak family, Jitender (played by Rakesh Varre) grew up inspired by the organization's values, striving for the betterment of his society. The film showcases key moments from his early life, college politics, clashes with the leftist movement, and ultimate sacrifices in his battle for dharma and justice. It also depicts his interactions with RSS leader Gopanna (Subbaraju), confrontations with Naxals, and the role of his supportive friend and lawyer Sharada (Rhea Suman).
Performances:
Rakesh embodies the character of Jitender Reddy with dedication, handling both dramatic and action sequences effectively. Subbaraju delivers a strong performance as the mentor-like figure, Gopanna. Rhea Suman is good in her role. Most of the actors are less known faces but have done their job well.
Technical Aspects:
While the production values are solid, the cinematography and editing could have been more refined for a sharper presentation. The music of the film could not help the film as the genre itself is like that. The lyrical values are strong. The camera work is impressive but could have been nice. The production values are lavish.
Review:
Jitender Reddy delves into the life of Jitender Reddy, a patriotic ABVP leader who stood up against Naxal influence in the Jagityal region of Telangana during the 1980s. The first half focuses on Jitender?s childhood and growth into a student leader, building tension as he faces threats from Naxal groups. The second half becomes more intense, detailing his involvement in politics and confrontations with the local system. The film boldly portrays the protagonist's commitment to Sanatana Dharma and national values. The depiction of 1980s student politics and the ABVP-PDSU rivalry is authentic and engaging. The ending, particularly the tribute song for selfless workers, adds an emotional layer that resonates with the audience. Other characters, apart from Rakesh Varre and Subbaraju, could have been bolstered with more experienced actors for greater impact. Songs disrupt the narrative flow, breaking the film's pacing and immersion.
