Our present Chief Minister, the opposition leader, the topmost Congress leaders and their ancestors are all good people. Each one has a particular quality that makes them shine, and all these qualities are there in one person-the 'megastar'. Corruption exists in the bottom rung of elected leaders and the bureaucracy. And it is not the fault of the above mentioned CMs, ex-CMs, party presidents and PMs that such corruption exists, because it is happening without their knowledge. Also, you can't see air but you breathe it; in the same way, you cannot see God but such an entity exists.

Plot: So speaks Posani Krishna Murali, writer, director and actor.Apada Mokkulavadu is meant for several purposes. These include preliminary political propaganda, buttering up those in power and showing a hitherto low-profile Nagababu in an extremely positive light as a politician who works for the people and is a sort of demigod. He weeds out corruption while suffering personal losses.

That, in a nutshell is the plot. To elaborate, Rangayya Naidu moves the court to stop the assembly from bickering and hurling accusations and talk about the public problems instead. Money that is allotted to his district is used by a variety of public servants from the Ministers to the Tahsildar. Rangayya Naidu puts a stop to that, but his family is harmed and he kills the traitors who cause him that grief. After that, he is disguised as God and cuts off the head of every corrupt politico in sight.

Performances:Nagababu's performance is not bad, but we get to see little of him actually. With a plethora of stone-faced individuals playing the roles of politicians, we are exposed to bouts of violence, sarcasm/spoof/satirical parts infused with the main plot. One question though, why do most of the politicos don shades whether inside or outside? At least Operation Duryodhana had the sizzling Mumait the Masseur; here we see Udayabhanu and another girl in two item numbers that fizzle before you can react. And pray, what's all that off-season lightning doing throughout the movie? They removed that effect way back in 1962.

Last Word:There are troubled times that once you get out of, it is a celebration of life. Getting out of the theatre for this movie is such a time. Posani might get into the good books of all the right people (read politicians) who he has praised repeatedly in the movie, but he has definitely delivered a dud. In the movie, Nagababu as Rangayya Naidu is Apada Mokkulavadu, that is someone who is the savior of people. But who will save us from him?
