The story of Krishnamma happens entirely in Vijayawada, which is on the banks of the Krishna river, hence the title. Bhadra (Satyadev), Shiva (Krishnateja) and Koti (Meesala Lakshman) are orphans and inseparable friends from childhood. Their only desire is to have a family of their own. Bhadra and Koti lead a life of petty crimes. Shiva runs a printing press and urges his friends to lead a normal life. When Shiva falls in love with Meena (Athira Raj) and they decide to marry, it gives the trio a chance at a family finally. They look to mend their ways and lead a normal life. A sudden health emergency forces them to look for funds and they invariably turn to crime again for some quick bucks. Their smuggling operation fails and they are caught by the police. The friends decide to confess to the crime. But the police book them for a rape and murder case instead of smuggling. Who is the victim of the heinous crime and what happens to the friends forms the rest of the story.
The story takes time to pick up. It gains momentum only after the major twist happens. The second half moves at a quick pace with enough emotionally charged scenes.
Satyadev worked hard to bring authenticity to the happenings on screen. Athira Raj impresses in her debut performance. Archana had a brief role. Meesala Lakshman and Raghu Kunche also deliver the goods. Debutant writer-director VV Gopalakrishna takes an old story and works hard to bring in rustic authenticity. He succeeds only partly.
Krishnamma has its moments, but it is nothing we haven’t seen on the Telugu screen. It may appeal to viewers who like rural, small-town emotional dramas.
