Leader - Telugu movie

                                                                     
Director : Shekar Kammula

  I decided to watch this movie for two reasons first its directed by Shekar  Kammula whose films i have enjoyed most in Telugu industry (Godavari and Happy days) ,second  Leader's production house :AVM , the name speaks itself.

  Leader is a story of young man(Arjun Prasad) trying to overcome his father's bad name in politics.Sanjeeviah was a corrupt chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, he was killed in a mine blast.So the search for the next chief minister starts with Dhananjay as a front runner , he has the support of the party supremo.

  Arjun Prasad is back in India from US on hearing the blast ,in death bed Sanjeeviah asks Arjun to become next chief minister.He decides to fulfill the last wish of his father and the only wish of his mother Suhasini: that he succeed his father as the Chief Minister of the state.He came to  realize the path to reach the chair after having seen the party leaders specially Dhananjay and other ministers who are all corrupt.Using the same means i.e bribing he become the Chief Minister.He  vows to bring  one lakh crore rupees black money to government by passing legislation that allows ACP (Anit-Corruption Police) to ride the houses and offices of anyone except MLAs.Then the villain's plan to overthrow him from Chief minister chair and his plans.. usaual track.. predictable..

   Suhasini lends dignity to her role as a mother who has survived her husband’s follies but dies unable to accept that her son is succumbing to the political game.She wants him to be a Leader than a politician this makes Arjun to think and he started to act on his own will instead of succumbing to family politics.He takes own route legal(non violent,non corruptive) route and become the chief minister again.

                                     
  Rana Daggubati as Arjun has done a good job , he carries himself as a Leader but even romantic scenes he keeps his face the same.. (first film na!!) ,hopefully this guy will come good in future and no one film wonder.Kota Srinivasa rao as a party supremo done a wonderful job.Harshavardhan as Ali (chief minister's aide) has enacted his role beautifully.The heroines Richa Gangopadhyay and Priya Anand looks good and given a good performance.

 The movie is about making choice.. its never late to do something good.. in this case the hero decided to fulfill his mothers wish by becoming a Leader and brings changes in the corrupted political system.

 One of the highlights of this movie is music Micky J.Meyer has given wonderful composition.I liked all the songs and background score is also beautiful.Keep it up man..!!
