Featured review
Two Babies Switched at Birth
This film begins in a hospital where two women are simultaneously giving birth. As it so happens, one of the women is married to an extremely successful businessman named "Ramachandra" (Jayaram) while the other woman is married to one of Ramachandra's employees by the name of "Valmiki" (Murli Sharma). Although both babies are male, the nurse notices that the one belonging to Ramachandra is not breathing and begins to panic under the assumption that she will be held responsible for the child's death. It's at this precise time that Valmiki intervenes and tells her to substitute his son for that of Ramachandra's with the expectation that he will have a much better life. The nurse hesitates at first and when she eventually acquiesces it is discovered that Ramachandra's baby is not dead after all. Regardless, Valmiki is determined to maintain the deception and after a scuffle the nurse is seriously injured to the point that she cannot prevent Valmiki from going through with his fraudulent scheme. Eventually, both children grow up with the Ramachandra's actual child, "Bantu" (Allu Arjun) possessing superior talents while Valmiki's child "Raj Manohar" (Sushanth) is rather slow and dim-witted. Even so, Raj Manohar is given all of the benefits a wealthy father can bestow upon him while Bantu is continuously scorned by Valmiki. However, things become quite interesting once the paths of Ramachandra and Bantu finally cross. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off as an extremely enjoyable comedy but slowed down around the middle part of the movie when the plot turned a bit more serious. As far as the actors are concerned, I liked the performances of both Allu Arjun and Jayaram but not so much that of Murli Sharma who seemed a bit over-the-top. In any case, I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
