Not just as an Assistant to Krishna Vamsi, director BV Nandini Reddy was successful in giving a good beginning to her career by bagging a decent hit with 'Ala Modalaindi.' Unfortunately, her second outing with 'Jabardast' is proving to be a disappointing fare with critics giving negative reports on the movie. It is yet to be known on how this original thinking lady director gave nod for copying the scenes from a Hit Hindi film and then adding farcical comedy in second half which is not liked by audience.
Meanwhile a senior analyst in film circles has commented, Nandini is although a hardworker, she does not have any Hit formula like what other directors usually follow. 'Jabardast' is a good lesson for Nandini showcasing that 'Ala Modalaiandi' could be just a fluke hit which she realized only after release that she too can deliver some hit content. Thanks to Nani and Nithya Menon for making that a treat to watch with their awesome cute chemistry.
