History :

                Majority of Telugu movies these days follow the success formula that has the equation of 4 songs and 5 fights plus comedy and sentiments. ‘Rama Rama Krishna Krishna’ (RRKK) is no exception and director Srivas has used the formula effectively although from the audience point of view, it is just another commercial movie.Produced by ‘Dil’ Raju’s Sri Venkateshwara Creations, ‘Lakshyam’ director Srivas returns to make yet another commercial potboiler. Though nothing similar to ‘Lakshyam’ exists, the director seems to employ a bit too much of the violence even in RRKK.

               Senior artist Arjun is ‘Ashok Deva’, a Don who does all the good things. (We’ve seen this for the Nth time)  Arjun's wife Gracy Singh (Gauthami) wants Arjun to stop his activities and live in peace with his sisters – Priya( Priya Anand) and Sirisha. On Gauthami's birthday, in an attempt to kill Arjun, she falls prey to the villain's gun. Remembering his wife’s last wish, he leaves the violence. They flee to a Gandhipuram village in West Godavari and here is where our hero's introduced in the clichéd way. Ram (Rama Krishna) flies and arrives in the scene. Will the audience ever be relieved of such scenes in the changing scenario of Indian cinema?

               Here is introduced an array of characters. Interestingly Ram’s introduction is narrated through junior NTR’s voice! Nasser as the village president and Ram’s father, Pragathi as Ram’s mother and Ram’s friends including Srinivas Reddy are given their quick introduction. The supposedly branded second heroine of the movie Bindhu Madhavi, is introduced as a modern day village girl. Importantly described is that Gandhipuram village is a village that doesn’t resort to violence!

Now to the plot - Arjun's sister Sirisha and Ram's brother like each other. As usual the families oppose, Ram promises his brother a happy union with the one his brother likes, after they elope away. In the course Arjun's enemy confronts them. How Ram unites them by fighting the villains and convincing the families is what forms the core part of the screenplay!

               Director Srivas has tried to offer everyone of the family something in this movie.  The murder scene at the beginning gives a sense of action movie but slowly transforms to the family genre. After the focus shifts to the villages of West Godavari, the scenes have been beautifully pictured. A beautiful song in the background composed and sung by M M Keeravani is played while the credits are scrolled with the beautiful Godavari River in the backdrop.The hero’s characterization has been etched well. Ram as Rama Krishna has qualities of both Lord Rama and Krishna. He has a locket on him and whenever he’s in a dilemma in solving issues, he turns the medallion that has Rama on one side and Krishna on the other. So whoever God appears on the facing side, the hero takes that quality! How childish!

                Cinematography, Choreography and Stunts receive a lot of appreciation as they have been weaved well in to the screenplay. Editing by Gowtham Raju is commendable as a few flashback scenes have been handled well without losing the plot in the present. Art direction in a few songs and in most scenes deserves applause as well.
