I've watched both the movies, and I can say that the difference in both the movies is their Protagonists. While Chiru lifted the movie with his ease, Balayya made it look like he was trying very hard. I do understand the effort/cost put into GPSK and wish it could have been so better. I don't really complain about CGI, given our budgets are low, but in my opinion Krish was satisfied with a sub-standard performances from artists. The only saving grace for the film are it's dialogues and Balayya did a good job in dubbing. Note: In both the movies I hated the last song - timing in KN150 and dancing in GPSK.
Gautamiputra Satakarni is based on the life of the eponymous Satavahana ruler. The only glitch is that we know nothing of his life except whatever little is stated in an inscription called the Nashik Prasasthi. The inscription lists out the lands under his rule and calls him the king of kings. While that is all very pleasant to hear, one has to acknowledge that the inscription provides no incidents about the family or the personality of the invasions of the said gentleman.
Notwithstanding this lack of data, the director Krish tries to concoct a story about the zeal of Satakarni ....
