Analysis
Story, Screenplay, Direction:
Sampath
Nandi penned story, screenplay and dialogues wanted to convey the
current generation love affairs, marriages and break ups. Let’s see how
far his attempt has worked out:
Adi and
Erica Fernandes are shown as cute and loving couple at first. Things
change all of sudden when they celebrate occasion of winning best couple
award. These characters behave dissuadously dissimilar to what director
shows us in starting of film.
Then
flash back episodes are revealed. Kristina Akheeva was Aadi’s
ex-girlfriend who doesn’t believe in marriage system prefers live-in
relationship.
On
the other hand, Rahul Ravindran is one side lover of Erica waiting for
her acceptance since 4 years. Erica has great respect for Telugu
traditions, so wanted to marry a guy of her parents choice. Only one
year after marriage, Aadi and Erica gets to know on what they were missing in marriage life.
This
is not our conventional Telugu story, still director tries hard to
convince us by showing the real face of our well cultured society. In
climax, Telugu traditions and our ethics are shown as outdated before
the present day modern youth thinking. One should have accepted and
appreciated the climax, if Naveen Gandhi had strength in justifying
content and narration.
Half an hour pre climax climax is diluted with unexpected and unwanted climax.
Sampath
Nandi has written thought provoking dialogues. The old age grannies
episodes were well written aimed at NRI Telugu people. Bharath and
Gayathri scenes have a potent message.
Actual
content is affirmed in second half and it was good till last half an
hour. Anarchistic climax is the weak link for our audience mind set.
Naveen Gandhi’s making standards are good and he credibly failed to deal crucial sequences.
However one should agree that Sampath did not give any message; it is infact the information and identity of current trend.
Music: Bheems Ceciroleo composed audio had gentle tunes. His background score is asset for the film.
Cinematography: K Bujji’s cinematography was neat. He picturized songs efficiently.
Editing:
Rambabu’s craft cutting is not persuasive. Beginning the movie with
actor Bharath and introducing Aadi later is a bad and insensible idea.
Production Values: Sampath Nandi Team works production values are too good for a small budget film.
Artists Performance:
Aadi:
Aadi essayed the meaty role with perfection. He has shown lots of
improvement in key sequences. Better, Aadi should stop or at least
reduce the gym time as its effect was seen falling face.
Erica Fernandes:
She was seen with same expression through out movie. She didn’t even
take care to match lip sync with dialogues. Appearance prospect, she is
far thin to a curtain.
