Plot


The story revolves around Krish, the son of Hyderabad multimillionaire Surendra, who pretends to be in a relationship with Bhoomi to help her escape an unwanted marriage. Krish arrives at Bhoomi's village and transforms her family's dynamics, particularly the reconciliation of rival brothers Bhanu Prasad and Sivudu. Impressed by Krish, Bhanu Prasad agrees to Bhoomi's marriage with Krish, which complicates the situation as it was initially meant to be a ruse to cancel Bhoomi's earlier wedding.

Bhoomi's suitor seeks revenge, and the plot thickens when Indu, Krish's actual love interest, enters the scene. Indu lies about her lover ditching her, leading to a series of misunderstandings. Bhanu Prasad and Sivudu want Krish's parents to finalize the marriage, prompting Krish to invent fake parents until his real parents unexpectedly arrive.

Ultimately, Bhoomi reveals her love for Krish, which Indu overhears. Chaos ensues when Bhoomi's suitor exposes the truth to Sivudu and Bhanu Prasad, resulting in a violent confrontation. Durga Prasad, the family patriarch, intervenes and unveils the deception to protect Bhoomi from her suitor. It's revealed that Bhoomi is also in love with Krish.

As things calm down, Bhoomi's suitor kidnaps her, leading to a physical confrontation with Krish, who rescues Bhoomi. However, Krish is torn between his love for Indu and Bhoomi. In a twist, Lord Krishna appears but doesn't provide a solution, leaving Krish's fate to the audience.

Development

"The sprawling house set should resemble Lord Krishna’s Brindavanam. Color combination played a vital role. We used peacocks and other innovative colors. I sat with the director for a month and a half to draw the sketches. Vamsi works on minute details. Most of the movie was shot in this house set which was erected in an open place in Hyderabad suburbs.

It was a four-acre plot, and the set was created using one acre! For the flooring, we used Italian black marble. The furniture was brought from Delhi. Since the director was very particular that the set should be used only for this film, it was dismantled once the movie was completed."

— Art director Anand Sai, in interaction with M. L. Narasimham of The Hindu. [4]

In mid-July 2009, it was informed that Dil Raju would produce a film with Jr. N.T.R. titled Brindavanam with the caption Govindudu Andari Vadele which would be directed by Vamsi Paidipally who worked with Dil Raju previously in 2007 for the Average grosser Munna which starred Prabhas and Ileana. It was also said that the film would start its shoot in September 2009. [5] The film was launched at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad on 15 August 2009. On that day, it was declared that S. Thaman composed the music, Chota K. Naidu handled the Cinematography, Koratala Siva penned the dialogues while the duo Ram-Lakshman composed the fights for the film. [6] A Traditional and beautiful Villa set was constructed by Art director Anand Sai near Bachupally in 3 out of 4 acres land with the rest 1 acre utilized for a beautiful garden arrangement with refreshing environment which was dismantled on the film's completion. [7]

A. S. Prakash and Anand Sai were the art directors of the film, while Ram and Lakshman composed the fight sequences of the film.

Casting

Initially, it was said that Dil Raju opted to select a new heroine opposite N. T. Rama Rao Jr. in this film. [8] But Dil Raju later planned to select Trisha Krishnan as the heroine opposite N. T. Rama Rao Jr. [9] However Kajal Aggarwal replaced Trisha as the heroine as she latter opted out of the project citing lack of Dates. [10] By late November 2009, it was informed that one of the heroines was yet to be confirmed while Kota Srinivasa Rao, Prakash Raj and Srihari would appear in crucial roles. [11] During an interaction with the media, Kajal Aggarwal revealed about her character in the film in mid January 2010. She spoke "My character in the film is more like myself. It has been great working with NTR and the director Vamsi Paidipalli. I play Bhoomi in the film, who is very reserved and quite an introvert. I am enjoying every moment working for the film". [12] Even before the release of her debut film Ye Maaya Chesave on 19 February, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was selected as the second heroine in mid-February 2010. [13]

Filming

Though it was planned that the film would start its shooting from 27 November 2009, the filming ultimately started from 1 December 2009 as N. T. Rama Rao Jr.'s preceding project Adhurs was in its final stage of production. [11] [14] The shooting continued in Pollachi at Tamil Nadu and there the first schedule of the shoot was completed. The makers planned the second schedule from 21 December to 6 January in Hyderabad. [15] During the shoot of the second schedule, when the filming was continuing inside the Government Junior College on the Qurshid Jha Devidi premises at Hussainialam in the old city area of Hyderabad, a group of Telangana Rashtra Samithi activists assembled at the entrance. The agitators urged the film unit to stop the shooting, and when the director came out to pacify them, the protesters urged him to raise the Jai Telangana slogan and left as the latter obliged. [16] In the end of January 2010, a chase sequence was shot near Shabdalaya Studios at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad under the supervision of Peter Hynes. [17] In early February 2010, it was reported that the shooting continued in Pollachi again from 19 February 2010. [18] After returning from Pollachi, the shooting continued in a specially constructed set at Miyapur in Hyderabad in the end of February 2010. Then it was reported that the shooting would continue at Badami in Karnataka and parts of Kerala after completion of the scheduled shoot in the House. [19]

After a brief gap, the shooting continued at Vikarabad forest area in the end of June 2010, where a fight sequence was shot under the supervision of prominent fight choreographers Ram-Lakshman. [20] However, the shooting was postponed for a week due to the sudden death of Kota Srinivasa Rao's son Kota Prasad. [21] After canning a couple of fights and songs, the filming was said to continue in the beautiful locales of Greece with one of the two songs left to be picturised to be shot. [22] In early August 2010, N. T. Rama Rao Jr. joined the sets of the film at the Villa set constructed at Bachupally. [7] There the climax sequence was shot from 12 August 2010 which was followed by a song shoot on the leads at Annapurna Studios. [23]

But N. T. Rama Rao Jr. was injured on the sets while performing a stunt sequence with ropes near Kokapet Mines. He was immediately rushed to KIMS hospital in Begumpet and got six stitches on his forehead. He was discharged by afternoon but was advised a 3-day rest by the doctors thus delaying the shoot. [24] Later a part of the climax sequence and some crucial sequences were shot in Kerala at Chalakudy near Cochin including Athirapally waterfalls. [25] Later the filming continued in Switzerland for 10 days where the song Nijamena was shot on N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Kajal Aggarwal. [26] After some patch work, the entire shooting ended on 15 September 2010. [27]

The soundtrack was composed by S. S. Thaman marking his first collaboration with both Vamsi Paidipally and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. respectively.

Release

In mid March 2010, when the filming was nearly 60% complete, Dil Raju announced that the film is being planned for a Mid July release. [29] However, later in the end of August 2010, it was announced that the film would release on 1 October 2010 worldwide. [30] But in the end of September 2010, the release date was shifted to 8 October 2010. [31] The release of Mahesh Babu's Khaleja made matters worse and the film's release date was further shifted to 14 October 2010. [32] Though it was rumored that the film's release was preponed to 9 October 2010 due to N. T. Rama Rao Jr.'s fans' pressure, [33] Dil Raju confirmed that the film would release on 14 October 2010 in order to ensure a gap of a week from the release of Khaleja. [34] On 8 October 2010 the film was awarded an U/A certificate from Central Board of Film Certification. [35]

[37]

Reception

The film generally received positive reviews from critics. NDTV gave a review stating, "Vamsi, now proves that he, too, can top the Box Office with his subject and narration of a story. Koratala Siva's dialogues and Chota K Naidu's camera have helped him to realise his dream of putting together a good entertainer. NTR's performance is unquestionably the highlight of the film. " [38] Idlebrain.com gave a review stating "First half of the movie is adequate. The major part of the second half is entertaining. The climax of the movie is debatable. The plus points are NTR and entertainment in the second half. On the flip side, the story of the movie gives us a deja vu feeling in many aspects and the emotional part should have been natural. Brindavanam is a decent and clean movie with enough ingredients to make it work at the box office. It is up to NTR to get a range for the movie" and rated the film 3.25/5. [39] IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "Vamsi scripted a perfect screenplay for the film and it was so tight that the audiences could not move out of their seats and make them stick even in song sequences. Each and every scene in the movie was narrated with precision and the director should be commended for running the movie with perfection. You can watch the film with the whole family because of entertainment values. Definitely, the film will give you a relief after a stressful day." [40] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating, "Though the story has the shades of old films, Vamsi has scripted a tight screenplay and he has narrated every scene with precision. You can watch the film with a family because of the entertainment values. Dil Raju is once again back on track. Vamsi Paidipalli has brought a smile on his face with his wholesome entertainer." [41]

Box office

Brindavanam opened to positive reports and became the biggest hit in Jr. NTR's career. The film collected the highest opening numbers in Jr NTR's career and second best opening week of all time behind SS Rajamouli's Magadheera. Brindavanam ran for 50 days in 158 centers [42] [43] and 100 days in 11 direct centers. [44] Brindavanam became the sixth biggest grosser of Telugu cinema by the end of its theatrical run and the sixth Telugu cinema to cross 30 crore share mark. [45]
