Ruler

A predictable Balaiya treat for his fans

Balaiya is energetic and excels with his different acts in both the roles. vedhika is homely and coy and the petite beauty also expresses well and appeals, while sonal chauhan oozes oomph with her sizzling two-piece bikini act and is the perfect eye candy one requires in a balakrishna movie.

Director ks ravikumar is back to tollywood yet again joining hands with his JaiSimha hero balakrishna and this time around again the maker has come with a formulaic entertainer purely relying on Balaiya's antics and his fan-pleasing moments to save the film.

Arjun Prasad(Balakrishna) is a famous IT magnet who is brought by Sarojini Prasad(Jayasudha). He decides to start a new branch for his prestigious company in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

The interval bang of the film is pretty im[ressive and ends the first half on a good note. Nandamuri Balakrishna’s posh look is one of the assets of the Balkrishna looks slim and stylish as Arjun Prasad. 

Camerawork by Ram Prasad is superb and is one of the major highlights of the film. Balayya has been showcased well in the film and so were the rustic locations of Uttar Pradesh. 

 Balakrishna can do just about anything. He can jump down from choppers to rescue a lady from committing suicide or single-handedly beat up a train full of goons despite being stabbed multiple times.

The film begins with Sarojini Naidu (Jayasudha) who meets a wounded stranger, who had met with an accident and had suffered multiple stab wounds. The next minute, the two are in the ICU with Sarojini facing a serious threat to her life.

Nandamuri Balakrishna in his new look does himself no favours. He comes across as a guy who's trying too hard to look young and his romantic sequences with Sonal Chauhan and Vedhika (both in inconsequential roles) is cringe-worthy.

Arjun Prasad (Balakrishna) is a famous person in IT industry. He decides to set up a company in Uttarpradesh but he comes across some problems over there and they put him into a deep trouble.
 

The entire movie revolves around Nandamuri Balakrishna's character and we can say that the senior hero went under the skin of the character and has produced a mesmerizing performance in the film.

The movie doesn't have a proper storyline. Director KS Ravikumar used the same commercial formula for this movie and even the story and screenplay are also not that gripping. The first-half is quite impressive and also the story is narrated well.
 

An utter disappointment form the star hero.

Sarojini Prasad (Jayasudha) is a big industrialist. One day, she comes across a person (Balakrishna) who is severely wounded and doesn't remember his past. She gives him shelter and raises him as her son, by giving the name, Arjun Prasad. 

Paruchuri Murali has penned the story of Ruler. It is an age-old story and the film should have got made at least 15 years back. The current generation is not accepting this kind of films and it is high time that our makers realize the fact.

A corporate company’s chairperson (Jayasudha) saves a badly-injured man, who in turn saves her on another occasion. She adopts him as her son.

Nandamuri Balakrishna played a role with two different shades - a software company owner and a police officer. In both the variations, he looks awkwardly odd with his outrageous wigs and costumes. 

While all other senior stars are experimenting with stories and are trying hard to connect to the current generation with new kinds of characters, it is surprising that Nandamuri Balakrishna is still agreeing to do films with scripts of 80’s and 90’s.
