After making a dream debut with RangiTaranga, Nirup Bhandari was seen in Rajaratha, which did not live up to the viewers' expectations. He is now returning with Aadi Lakshmi Purana, written and directed by Tamil filmmaker V Priya, a former associate of Mani Ratnam.
Aadi Lakshmi Purana has a couple of interesting elements and one among them is Radhika Pandit, who is making her comeback after a short break. In fact, this is her first film after her marriage to Rocking Star Yash. Also, the movie is different experience for Nirup, whose two earlier movies were directed by his brother Anup Bhandari.
Cast and Crew:
Tara and Suchendra Prasad appear as the parents of the character played by Nirup Bhandari. Veteran filmmaker Joe Simon will be seen in an important role among many others in the supporting cast.
Rockline Venkatesh-produced movie has Anup Bhandari composing music. Preetha Jayaraman has handled the cinematography department, while Joni Harsha is the editor of the Kannada flick.
Story:
Aadi (Nirup Bhandari) is an undercover cop in the film. He comes across Lakshmi (Radhika Pandit), a MS Dhoni fan who has no interest in marriage, by accident during one of his assignments. It is love at first sight for him. In the next meeting, he is told that she is married. What follows next is the interesting part of the story.
Analysis:
Time and again, there have been rom-coms made on similar lines and Aadi Lakshmi Purana too has not new to offer, but the movie has the right ingredients to keep the audience entertained. There is a liveliness in the presentation and the chemistry between the hero-heroine remains the best part of the story. Anup Bhandari's music is apt to the storyline. On the flip side, the drugs investigation plot is not convincing.
Reviews:
The movie has garnered a lot of buzz with its impressive teaser and trailer. With an interesting cast and good promotions, people are eagerly awaiting the release of Aadi Lakshmi Purana. Will it live up to the expectations? Check it out in the viewers' words below:

Nitish Dambal: #AadiLakshmiPurana is not up to expectation. Dialogues could have been better. Yet again a common prolonged story. An old stuff with new cover. That's it.
