"Sakti" is a complicated storyline from an ambitious director Meher Ramesh and an extravagant producer Aswini Dutt - who believe that blockbusters need to have killer app special effects, monstrous settings amidst exotic locations. Its about a prodical warrior who has a calling to protect the ancient Hindu shrines and a royal family heiress from some weird Pharoah-like Atavistic herds from Egypt who are seeking a talismanic gem that's in possession of Saktimaan NTR. Some story that!
The movie is already convoluted with complicated subplots liberally borrowed from Hindu Mythology, Mummy fables, and half a dozen socio-fantasty thrillers pre-released like "Anaga Anaga Oka Dheerudu", :"Mahesh Khaleja", "MagaDheera" and so on. What's bizarre is that the movie lacks entertainment and fails to grip you to seats - not even the parade of locations from Kashmir to Haridwar, Cairo to Columbo and Rajasthan to Rayalaseema will redeem this misdirected movie which is already bearing the weight of colossal budgets, bizarre storyline and bad casting. A song or two gives the relief. But broadly, the movie doesn't connect with the audience. NTR Jr. is too talented star to bank on bad storied-directors, he can carry a film on his shoulders but there should be a story to do that - which is missing in the movie.
