We have recently seen two parts of NTR Biopic as NTR Kathanayakudu and NTR Mahanayakudu directed by Krish. Both were rejected by the audiences as they tried to glorify NTRs life hiding the dark parts. Also both the movies didnt cover NTRs life of his last days.

Ram Gopal Varma and Agasthya directed Lakshmis NTR narrates the account of NTRs last days after he lost power in 1989.

The film primarily focuses on three points  1) NTR and Lakshmi Parvathis love story 2) How NTR was neglected by his sons and daughters (it completely establishes that they didnt provide care to an aging man) 3) CBNs coup

Lakshmis NTR comes to the point straight with the arrival of Lakshmi Parvathi in an auto to pen the biography of NT Rama Rao.

The first half of the movie solely has focused on how the bond between them blossomed and turned into a tree. Two background songs, and sublime depiction of their bonding are good here. Major Chandrakanth episode has become basis for the interval bang and the all important coup and Chandrababu Naidus evil tactics are occupied the second half.

While the first half is narrated in slow and theatrical manner, the second half of the movie hits the bulls eye. There is no two ways about it, the second half establishes as Chandrababu Naidu is the one who backstabbed is father-in-law.

Unlike Krish, Ram Gopal Varma has showcased NTRs life in realistic way. But the slow narration is major drawback. It needs lot of patience to watch the sluggish pace of bonding between NTR and Lakshmi Parvathi. Also the actors chosen for NTRs family members are more like actors in a spoof movie.

Some important dialogues are muted by Censor Board.

All in all, Lakshmis NTR serves its purpose of recounting the past events in NTRs last days. It also answers why NTR married Lakshmi Parvathi. However, this film is also not complete biopic, it is only like the other side of NTR from the perspective of Lakshmi Parvathi.
