Tagline : Relatable torture
Another low budget, no publicity movie hits the screen today and the evening show is almost full in the Regal cinemas at Charlotte. Let's see if the houseful crowd got to watch a heart-full movie from our local boy Sri Vishnu.
The movie starts off in a middle class background with our "Kramasikshana"less hero Sagar trying to pass an exam without preparing for the 3rd time. He is basically an uninterested student with a bright sister and a father who's a lecturer in the same college. He checks his exam results with a wrong hall ticket and thinks he passed and celebrates the success with our first song. But later realizes that he checked the results with a wrong hall ticket number. His father is ashamed of having a useless son like him and this makes Sagar the desire to be good and make his parents proud. He then gives up all the interests in his life like movies, cricket and concentrates on his studies to impress his father with the help of our heroine Dharmika who is known for her best student awards and 'Kramasikshana' in the surroundings. In the process of helping the hero become a nice person, our heroine falls for him looking at how sincere and open he is. Will their love strengthen Sagar's determination to impress his father or does he give up realizing he is not fit for studies? How does he realize that everyone in our country thinks better settlement in life and prestige in society as the definition of happiness?
I always admired the sincere action of Sri Vishnu. He has that boy-next-door look just like Nani and the innocence in his face blends well into characters like these. No doubt he is a perfect fit to the character Sagar and he does complete justice to what the role needs of him. But he definitely needs to work a lot on his dance. The heroine Satna Titus makes her debut in telugu and is a misfit to the character Dharmika. She overacted in the scenes when she was falling in love with the hero and she looked artificial in the studious look with curly hair and spects. The father character of Sagar, Devi Prasad did an amazing job. Posani had a brief and boring couple of scenes. No one else has a significant role.
The director actually came up with a relatable plot to the audience that everyone doesn't necessarily need to be earning lakhs in order to live a happy life. There is another sub plot of a father-son relationship on how hard a son tries to impress his father and how a father views his son's life just as a mere prestige issue. But somewhere down the line he tried to balance an emotional plot with some unnecessary and meaningless humor in between.
The taking of the movie is so inconsistent that the hero cries every night that he is not able to make his father proud and with all the sorrowfulness in the world alongside him, he goes to Ooty with his girlfriend without attending his exams. In the interval scene, the father finds Sagar and Dharmika in his house and slaps Sagar thinking they were doing something wrong. The heroine, instead of explaining what actually happened there runs away from the scene. After the interval, Dharmika is seen coming to Sagar's house again sending him a love letter. When you deal with movies like these, the inspiration need not be necessarily seeked from a girl. Instead, it can actually come from someone like the character of the IIT student in the movie. It messed the plot up there. One should wonder why was Nara Rohit even there in the movie for that one scene.
I actually liked the pre-climax where Sagar brings a car mechanic, a pan shop owner, a coconut seller and a driver to his house and explains his father that they are actually happy with what they are doing in their life and tries to convey that a profession and prestige in the society has nothing to do with one's happiness in life. This scene might connect well with the audience but that doesn't make the entire movie good. Except for that connect, I could hardly feel the emotion in the movie.
