Nanda can be slotted as a weak action film which just ends up as an old wine in a old bottle. The film scripted and directed by Anantha Raju does not have any credence in the form of a story line or any logical narration. Leave alone lead actors like Shivaraj Kumar and Sandhya, the director has simply wasted a battery of talented artists and technicians. The film suffers because of many negative factors including a weak plot.
The quality of Nanda is so bad that it raises doubts about the way Hatrick Hero Shivaraj Kumar is choosing his films. Neither the story has anything to cheer about or the narration of the director. Anantha Raju who had worked as an associate director till recently seems to be incompetent in handling an action subject. And just because a few gangster films of the actor have succeeded in the Box office, Anantha Raju has scripted his film which includes a number of fight sequences.
Without any fresh elements, Nanda fails to generate any interest. The narration is filled with dragging elements, weak dialogues and unimaginative handling. Anantha Raju who had earlier directed a film like Masth Maja Maadi has made a mess of his work in Nanda. MMM is the remake of Hindi Hit Dhamaal and Anantha Raju had faithfully followed the original. But in Nanda, his imagination has gone hay wire. Basing his screenplay on the story written by producer Mahim who has also played an important role in the film, Anantha Raju has shown his incapability to write a credible script.
The fight composer seems to have a field day in the making of the film. You have many number of fights where more than twenty villains are bashed by the hero. Different type of weapons are used for the fights. Blood and gore are part of these fights. In addition to these violent fight sequences, Nanda also has some comedy sequences which are made with a very poor taste. Perhaps this is one reason why the audience in the theatre are seen moving out of their seats very often in the song and fight sequences.
Nanda is the owner of a Canteen in a College. He is always refered to as Senior by the college students who seek his advise on all the things. Kavya is secretly in love with Nanda who helps his friend to marry her sister. Nanda gets into the wrong books of Kavya’s mother and her uncle who is the Police Commissioner. Nanda wants to marry Kavya despite the resistance of the Police Commissioner. He lands up in Jail on a foisted case. Then he is also used as a pawn by two rival Muslim gangs. Finally Nanda wins his battle by becoming a gangster himself.
Such stories have been seen many times in the Kannada screen and Raju has not infused any fresh elements in the story.
Shivaraj Kumar looks good only in the fight sequences and a song picturised in Bangkok. Sandhya who makes a debut through this film has got a weak role which offers her nothing to showcase her talents. Even veteran artists like Avinash, Shobharaj, Rangayana Raghu, Sharath Lohithashwa, Bhavya and Vanitha Vasu have not been properly used in the film.
Veteran music director V.Manohar’s composition is just average. He has always been inconsistent in his work so far.
Nanda does not offer anything new. It is just a below average fare.
