Special effects in movies have always played the lead role but
in majority of such movies these effects have been used more towards
depicting either humour, emotions, or to portray the war between
strengths of evil powers and that of the positive forces.
Today
imagine these special effects being used to show the unbelievable
yet fantastic mystic happenings on the vernacular big screen,
and especially when 'the chosen one' is bonded positively by such
powers to save the world from destruction, a unique powerful combination
of ethnic mysticism and mythology, and audio-video special effects
takes the Telugu filmdom to a milestone!
Lord
Shri Krishna might have (as in Devi Putrudu) created a "pandora's
box" (but here the abode of a powerful goddess) and charged
it with mystical powers, to plug a raging inferno deep in the
sea that threatens to wipe out mankind by submerging the world
in water and that which gains momentum on the Mahalaya Amavasya
day.
Yes,
also a recent revelation says, nearly 5000 years ago Dwarka the
birthplace of Lord Krishna got submerged because of an asteroid
plunging into the waters of the Mediterranean. But imagine the
innovation of the genius, who using this news created a effective
concept of what Lord Krishna might have visualised about mankind's
future and to save it created such a box!!
Further
to add to this concept's charm, creating a money-hungry character
(an identical of the box's finder), who is driven by mystical
forces (the athma (soul) of the box finder's daughter) rather
than destiny, to retrieve the box from a hidden location on land
and see that it again plugs the threatening inferno and also fighting
the deeds of evil mongers with the blessings of the goddess. All
these blended with the special visual effects and raging audio
causes the movie buff to explore more into the innovative possibilities
of a creative mind, here the innovation being nothing but an Indian
flavour.
