Mr Bachchan Review: A bizzare remake, stale jokes add to torture
Deccan ChronicleCast: Ravi Teja, Bhagyashri Bhorse, Jagapathi Babu, Sachin, Thanikella Bharani and Satya Rating: 1/ 5 stars Unfortunately, the much-hyped remake of the Hindi film 'Raid’ falls flat on its face due to amateurish screenplay and direction. Ravi Teja has never been seen in such a poor light, thanks to his friend and director Harish Shankar, who made him mock legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Akkineni Nageshwar Rao and imitated them in songs and dances that a hero of his stature could have avoided it. Above all, in trying to justify the title, Ravi Teja’s father watches ‘Sholay’ umpteen times and comes home to change the name of his son to Mr Bachchan. Ravi Teja arrives at their house the next day and seeks gold to match the bride’s weight and when all gold is put out, Ravi Teja declares himself as IT officer and seizes the gold.
