After Ghilli’s box office success from its re-release, another Telugu film is ready to release in theaters. It was in 2021, at the peak of Covid-19, that Pawan Kalyan‘s Vakeel Saab was released in the theater and was welcomed and loved by the audiences. Now, the film is ready to re-release on May 1.

The courtroom drama stars Nivetha Thomas, Anjali, Ananya Nagalla, and Pawan Kalyan. Directed by Venu Sriram and produced by Boney Kapoor, the film was an unofficial remake of the Bollywood film Pink.

Mallesham - the gentle, beautiful and moving story of Chintakindi Mallesham, the handloom weaver from Andhra Pradesh who revolutionised the weavers' profession by inventing a mechanical loom -- why, because his mother's shoulder threatened to collapse with all the manual weaving -- is a testimony of truth and tenacity.

There are many flaws in the narrative. Scenes often lack a sense of flow and rhythm and move with the awkward gait of the protagonist who, let me tell you, is played by a relatively unknown actor who owns Mallesham's part to an extent that he could easily exchange identities with the real Mallesham.

The story of Mallesham's determined bid to beat destiny is not a rarefied experience. There is no room for subtle sighs and stifled sobs in the storytelling. Not that the characters are shown indulging in exaggerated breastbeating. But the raw feel of emotions that are unpolished...

TollywoodRaj Rachakonda, director and co-producer, should be lauded for the warmhearted sincerity with which he approaches the subject.Krishna SripadaMallesham - the biopic of Padma Shri award winner Chintakindi Mallesham - opens on a moribund note. A weaver's family, including two kids, kill themselves, unable to pay back their debts. Despite being ingenious from a young age, Mallesham has to drop out of school after the seventh grade to help his dad out. He grows up watching his mom and a lot of other women in his village suffer with shoulder pain, their bodies wearing out. That is the bottleneck he resolves to solve.  In the Pochampally style of weaving, the women help the men by painstakingly winding a silk thread, which pivots around one peg on one side and 40 on the other side - a process that is crucial for any design. Without this assistance, the weaver slows down drastically.
