646f9e108c A rivalry between two men, based on caste and social status, extends from an Indian village to war torn Europe during WW2. Kanche is a well directed movie and the first Telugu movie with the WW2 backdrop. It resembles a Saving Private Ryan in many ways because the main character is trying to rescue a fellow comrade who is in capture. It is for the most part a very solid picture. The battle scenes were very solid but I think they could have been better if they had a higher budget. Again a lot like Saving Private Ryanthe soldiers have to take refuge in civilians' homes to hide from the Germans while trying to save a soldier. Some of the scenes were very tense with the German soldiers and the Jewish civilians. This is by far the darkest Telugu movie I've seen and bravo to the director and screenwriter. The one part I didn't like was the whole love story thing and songs. I understand that it should be there for the conflict between the 2 main characters but there was way too much time used up for it. The war scenes were great and riveting and then it would suddenly cut back to the somewhat boring love story. In my opinion they should have spent less time with the scenes in India and more time with the war and main story. Oh and the songs weren't that good either. The love story and songs showed up out of no where and a lot of it was irrelevant to the story. The ending battle scene was the boldest scene in Telugu film history. I thought I would never see the day when the hero in a Telugu movie dies but it finally happened. The part that makes Kanche so much better than other Telugu movies is that there is no big bad villain with his henchmen, which means there are no stupid fist fights. Overall I enjoyed Kanche a lot more than I thought I would. My rating is 8/10 stars and from A+ to F, Kanche gets a B. We always knew Krish(Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi)a director who would attempt different flicks.But,Kanche is an even better movie compared to his earlier works.This time,he chose a war drama but still managed to ask questions about mankind and discrimination between people based on caste and nationality.The way he inter-connected the two stories(one in village in India and other at war zone in Europe)is amazingly brilliant.The casting was effectiveall the actors have done justice to their roles.Standout performers include VarunTej ad Dhoopathi Haribabu and Nikitin DheerEswar Prasad.Light hearted humour from Avasarala Srinivas RaoDasu was an icing on the cake.In particular,I have liked the interval bang and climax.Terming Kanchea different film would be an understatement,it isgooda film one can expect from Krish.
