Story:

Akkineni Nagarjuna’s Damarukam Telugu Movie - Nagarjuna had few releases in the past couple of years and all of them have been average movies and nothing stood out but with Damarukam Nag has a sure shot winner in his hands this time. Nov 23rd is definitely a lucky day for Nagarjuna, at First Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s Birth Day. Finally the movie has released and one thing we can say for sure, “Late Ga Vachina Latest Ga Vachindi”.

Nagarjuna looking younger than ever and sported his six pack body and Anushka is excellent and she looked very glamorous. Damarukam is a socio-fantasy movie in which Nagarjuna plays the role of Mallikarjuna while Anushka does the female lead role. Andhakasura is the Raksha who is in an invisible form. At the time of Panchagraha Kootami, Andhakasura takes the shape and gets the power of ‘Panchabhoothalu’. Andhakasura will become powerful.

Andhakasura should marry a girl Maheswari (Anushka) born at that moment to become the emperor of the entire Universe. Only Lord Shiva can eliminate him. So, he executes the elimination through the hero, Mallikarjuna (Nagarjuna).

Performances:

Nagarjuna played the role of Malli in the film. Nag moulded his role very well with good dialogues and especially in fight sequences. Nagarjuna six pack and Aghora get up to perfection in the movie. Nagarjuna took special care for all his roles in the movie. Anushka looked gorgeous in the role of Maheswari, she done justice to his role.

Prakash Raj who played the role of Lord Shiva done a vital role and once again proved that he can mould according to his role and perform at his best. Ravi Shankar played the role of Andhakasura. His body language, diction, acting everything suited to perfection. Comedy track in the movie was held by Brahmanandam, MS Narayana, Raghu Babu and others is good too.
