Story: Peddodu(Venkatesh)
and Chinnodu(mahesh) are brothers and
they are in their job trails in cities. Prakash raj and Jayasudha look after
their maternal daughter-in-law Seethamma(Anjali). chinnodu falls in love with Geetha(Samantha)
when they meet in a relative's marriage. The whole movie is about living life
happily without harming others and being helpful to everyone we come across.
Performances:
Venkatesh was good as usual, Mahesh babu is superb and grown up as an actor a lot.
Anjali is very good and samantha is passable. Jayasudha was natural. Prakashraj
is impressive as always. Rohini Hattangadi, Kota Srinivas rao, Rao Ramesh,
Tanikella Bharani very good. The remaining
supporting cast was good. Art work is fine. editing could have been better.
Cinematography is top rated. Music was
good. The screenplay is predictable at times and the narration is slow.
Analysis: Venkatesh
was good, He was subtle in emotional scenes. Mahesh was brilliant, he delivered
most of the subtle expressions with his eyes. His slang was good initially but
later it appeared artificial. Anjali is the show stealer, her expressive eyes
delivered every thing, she has a long run to go in Telugu industry. Samantha
was okay and her smile looked very much artificial and plastic. Music by
Mickey.J.Meyer was good. All the songs were suitable to the situations and are
script oriented. Lyrics by Ananth sriram and Sitaram Sastry are good. Background
score by Manisharma brought soul to the film. Cinematography by Guhan was good,
he made the middle class house look rich and colorful. Editing was not crisp.
Art was is fine. The screenplay was not exciting. The Direction is good in some
scenes. The production values are good.
The
director was not clear in certain aspects, in terms of characterizations --- Venkatesh character could have been well
established based on his straight forward nature. some establishment scenes
after he loses his job could have helped in elevating his nature. Mahesh
character was limited to commenting girls in Hyderabad and acting(biting his grandma and
laughing) in the village and talking over phone with heroine all through..
The
dialogues in the second half are good. It's a mix of old fashioned ones and the
contemporary(Ganesh patro and Srikanth Addala). The complete first half was
good with the characters introduction and the narration was smooth. There was a
lag in the second half even though there are some good emotionally touching
scenes. Chinnodu telling to Peddodu on the terrace to take decision independently.
Chinnodu giving warning to Rao Ramesh in the restaurant. The complete
Bhadrachalam episode(even though the transformer scene was little dramatic) was
handled well.
Anjali was
fantastic and she literally lifted some scenes in the second half. Rohini
Hattangadi was good. Prakash raj was subtle. Rao ramesh impresses with his
characterization, the remaining supporting cast fitted to the roles well. Ravi babu's character was introduced well and lacked
importance later. The drawbacks of the film are --- there is absolutely no
story, scenes were not filled with required emotional depth. Audience may get
bored with too many phone talking scenes between Mahesh babu and Samantha, Mahesh
boarding train in Relangi station(too many times) and Venkatesh coming to give
him sendoff, lack of entertainment or funny episodes which may provide relief to
the common Audience, neither the
director highlighted/ concentrated on core village traditions and customs, how
they are drastically falling now in present generation.
Do not got
to the movie with heavy expectations(expecting a multi-starrer), the story is
simple(absolutely nothing). The scenes are realistic and very close to heart
and one can get connected easily with the roles well. Lack of strong emotions
and dragged slow narration make you stand at the same place where the story has
started even after the movie ends up. It's a simple realistic film done by big
stars. Different and sensible movie likers may love the movie a lot. There are
chances of clicking in the 'A' centers for it's sensible narration, we have to
wait for the B,C centers response. The family Audience response is also
awaited.

commercial pot boiler.
