A self-confessed Sekhar Kammula fan, I couldn't help but marvel at the director's inspirational story in Leader. Debutant Rana Daggupati as Arjun Prasad steals the show as the young chief minister of AP determined to free the state of black money. His temperamental act is well complemented by the beautiful Richa Gangopadhyay as Archana, his journalist love-interest. While the romance is a crafty side-track, the real story swells you with pride towards the end, leaving you wondering if you have done your bit for the nation. Mickey Meyer again teams up with Kammula to deliver a melodious soundtrack.
Memorable moments:
- Arjun's mother telling him that she wanted "him to be a leader, not a politician", Arjun's clinical dialogue delivery.
- Archana trying out a gun when the CM's escort stops - picturized as part of the lovely track "Aunana Kadana"
