Added to this is local mobster Bada (Sonu Sood), who doesn't like people disagreeing with him, because he loves his bullets and wouldn't want to waste them on people who disagree with him. A colleague of Anjaneyulu's is distraught at his failing efforts to bringing in 'real' journalism to their channel that's solely engaged in upping its TRPs. Anjaneyulu learns a lesson, and the next time, when he wants her to love him, he makes sure he doesn't ask - he makes sure she falls in love with him.īut a couple of lovebirds don't make the city a happy place. When he asks Anjali for her phone number, she doesn't give it to him. And how.Ī gang of drunken lusting baddies drives the heroine, Anjali (Nayantara), into Anjaneyulu's arms late one night, and he pays back the favour by breaking the villains' limbs like they were cakes of Maggi from a freshly opened pack. Now technically he's a loser, but deep down we all know he's the real winner, and we all want to be like him - he's getting by in his job solely because he can talk.
Anjaneyulu, who's employed at a local TV channel that's quite broke, is a guy whose life has progressed from being a school topper, to being an unshaven cad who's made it a point to make everything around town his business. In a no-brainer of a role, Ravi Teja plays Anjaneyulu, a regular-Joe-turned-society-cleanser whose humour the villains just can't seem to get. Colourful lemon slices are what sell bland rajma.
Which, by itself, is like a particularly bland dish that the chef was tight-fisted in adding even salt to, but which a dash of lemon manages to salvage, because it does the one thing it knows to do - bring the zing. And that's how you actually reach the end of Anjaneyulu. So when Ravi Teja's just broken someone's bones and left them jutting out of the poor guy's limbs, you know our man's coming up with one hell of a line in the next few seconds.
Little plastic bats sell because you like Sachin. Anjaneyulu is like that little complimentary cricket bat that health drink companies give you - you're not going to sit and play with a bat that small, or even with one made of plastic, but you're going to keep it anyway because it has a photocopy of Sachin's signature on it.
