At one point, in the second hour of the Telugu movie KannappaPrabhas deity appears on the screen as Rudra. Its extended cameo includes lines that have gently recognized a larger image than his life-there is also a reference to the endless estimation of his bachelorhud. These ‘meta’ touch intentionally serve as a fan service and otherwise injection in the uneven story.
This is a shame, because KannappaUnder the leadership of Vishnu Manchu, contemporary audiences came out with the ambition to reconsider the legend of devotion. In this story rooted in folklore, the atheist hunter is followed by Arjuna’s reincarnation, which converts Lord Shiva into a religious follower. In the final act of faith, he earns the name Kannappa and gives his own eyes to the deity.

Running Time: 180 minutes
Story Line: Atheist hunter Thinna becomes a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva to be the reincarnation of Arjuna.
The story of Kannappa has earlier earned the Telugu screen in Bapu’s prestigious 1976 film Devotee KannadappaWho made Krishnama Raju-Kaka Prabhas, who created a lot of famous cameo in this new retail. The cinema of the region is not strange for devotion to the drama; The past has been told by the magnificent and emotional integrity of the audience’s stories and has been deeply attracted to them in the spiritual journey of their heroes.
In contrast, the core Kannappa (2025) The ambition to vote for the Pan-India spectacle has been overwhelmed. Big-Tit Names in the industry-Akshay Kumar and Kajal Agarwal Shiva and Parvati, Mohanlal and extended cameo, but their presence is very little to enrich the statement.
In this movie, Thinna (Vishnu Manchu), a tribal hunter who renounces faith after childhood trauma. His temptation with the blind ritual is a theme that occasionally repeats and thinks of the questions that think about the performance of devotion. But just as these threads begin to tackle the curiosity of the viewer, especially by the deserted divine reactions of Shiva and Parvati, the film withdraws, which does not make a thorough inquiry. Instead, it comes back to tracking the transformation of Thinna, from the suspicion of Thinna to the most passionate devotees of Shiva.
A lot of Kannappa New Zealand has been filmed in the second -century landscape. While the parts are visually impressive, this setting is often displaced from the cultural and emotional terrain of the story. Tribal clashes, especially the face-to-face beauty of the Kalamukh clan, borrowed a great deal of debt Baahubali Kalakaya Warriors – Sounds derivative and abusive.
It brings you to a big problem- in post-inBaahubali The era, getting bigger is not enough. S.S. Rajamouli’s film was not a single scale, but he made the spectacle of the spectacle – a tight screenplay, innovative action sequence and an emotional corner of the echo. In KannappaThe pieces of action sets are confused and the visual effects are often disturbed rather than glossy.
Below the filled surface of the film, however, the genuine artistic promises are the flickr. Thinna and his father (Sarasha Kumar) and his constant bond for his late mother provide a glimpse of the paths. He also had the ability to have a connection with the warrior princess and Shiva devotees, Named (Preeti Mukundan). Prethhi Posses A Striking Presence, But Her Character Is Reduced to Ornamental Appaal After a Brief Flash of SWORDPlay and a Couple of High-Glam Songs.
In this movie, Mahadev Shastri (Mohan Babu) is briefly discovered the difference between Orthodox Puja – Silk and flowers – and Thinna more worshiping the meat from her search. This is an important storytelling that can be added to the room in the devotional theme, but it comes too late and has really resolved to have any real consequences.
The film includes the film comprising the giants like Madhu, Brahmanandam, Sapthagiri, Brahmaji, Mukesh Ishish and Aishwarya Bhaskar. Only Sarath Kumar and Mohan Babu left a lasting impression. Vishnu Manchu found his foot in an emotional climax, but by then a lot of speed has been lost.
In the end, Kannappa There was a running legend – the story of unwavering faith and sacrifice. But it did not require the star power or visual gloss that it needs, but tells the story rooted in emotional clarity and cultural texture. When trying for grandeur, he forgets to tell the story that is important.
Kannappa is currently running in theaters
