Angel movie review

Story: During the course of an excavation work for the
construction of a new capital at Amaravati in Andhra
Pradesh, workers chance upon an antique idol of a young
woman. A smuggler strikes a fancy deal to smuggle the
statue abroad, but first it has to be transported to Hyderabad by road. And the antique idol suddenly comes to life!

Review: The responsibility of transporting the antique to
Hyderabad is bestowed upon a confident Nani (Naga
Anvesh), who along with his friend Giri (Saptagiri), sets out in an ambulance to Hyderabad. But he soon finds himself
stranded in a forest after the ambulance breaks down while trying to evade police check posts. His trouble doubles, when Nani finds out in the morning that the statue is missing.


Meanwhile, they meet Nakshatra (Hebaba Patel), who
requests them to drop her somewhere on the highway and
hops on the vehicle. From here, we are on the highway to
laughter. On the way Nakshatra tells the boys that she
actually is the antique idol and has taken a human form.


While Nani is confused at Nakshatra's claim, she is happy
that she has turned into a human. By her own choice, she
tells him, that she left Swargam to live and experience life
like the humans.


The underlining point that director Palani wants to convey
through the movie is that one cannot experience happiness
without knowing what pain is. And he does it in an effective way.

There is ample comedy in the film, thanks to not just Saptagiri, but also the script and story. Nani shows his prowess in dance and fight sequences. Hebbah did a very
convincing job of being an antique-turned-human and her
constant inquisitiveness and jovial responses to little "human things" added zing to the character.


But is Nakshatra really the heavenly being that she claims to be? Nani is further confused when he finds her face in a
poster of a missing person in a village, where the she is identified as Nandhu. So is she Nakshatra or Nandhu?
