Narappa movie review: Narappa is a faithful remake of the super-hit Dhanush starrer Asuran. Director Sreekanth Addala ensures that the Telugu version stays true to the original Tamil milieu created by Vetrimaaran, with no attempt to customize it for the Telugu audience.
The core conflict of Narappa revolves around land acquisition by the mighty and how it escalates into a series of problems. In this process, the divide between rich and poor and their class conflicts are well established.
Narappa (Venkatesh) lives with his wife, brother-in-law, two sons, and daughter in a small village in Ananthapur. Pandusamy, the village head, is eying Narappa’s farmland to build a factory.
