The film Kranti hits two targets in one shot — the entertainment and educational systems. Plus, it has all the elements required to make it commercially viable.

Entertainment

Music composer-director V Harikrishna penned the story and dialogues besides handling music and direction.

Entertainment

He has dished out a well-balanced action-drama backed by a sensible subject that is at least good as a one-time watch for the audience.

Entertainment

The story is simple and revolves around Kranti Rayanna (Darshan), the son of a wealthy, respected man played by V Ravichandran.

Entertainment

Kranti does his schooling in a government school. However, he is sent abroad and ends up becoming a very successful businessman.

Entertainment

Kranti returns to India to be a part of his government school’s centenary celebrations and the drama unfolds for almost three hours.

Entertainment

The film presents the issue of privatisation of education and how it’s affecting society through the charismatic onscreen presence of Darshan.

Entertainment

The director serves the “usuals”, too, including half-a-dozen fights where Darshan alone defeats no less than 50 to 100 men.

Entertainment

Other elements such as the fights, romantic number, a short and cute love interest, a pinch of comedy, and a special number make it a paisa-vasool movie.

Entertainment

Kranti also provides ample opportunity for the Challenging Star to take a dig at his real-life opponents and competitors through cleverly written dialogues.

Entertainment

It’s a must for Darshan’s fans. But for others, the film is a regular commercial movie with some lessons on the educational system.
