Treating it as a comedy movie, we cannot just pick up and throw it like curry leaves in a curry. Because, now-a-days, its too difficult to make the audience laugh. It has become very difficult for the comedy movies to be produced these days. The film industry is searching for the new routes to make the audience laugh, because of the SMS Jokes, FaceBook Jokes and due to comedy shows like Jabardast. The success will be achieved by those who go through these new routes. If they perform something new, only then they will achieve success. If there are 60 scenes, they atleast half of them should entertain the audience. There is a problem when comedians like Sunil become a Hero. There should be complete comedy in all the 60 scenes of the movie. Sunil also promised that he made such a comedy which is enough for almost 10 movies for the audience to entertain. Did he keep his promise?? To what extent this movie has entertained the audience?? Let’s go to the Story to know all these……
Story :
Ram Babu (Sunil) who resides at Bhimavaram is a coward. He will not interfere, even when two people quarrel with each other. In addition to that, after seeing a girl, if Ram Babu says that she is Beautiful, then immediately she gets married with another person. Thats why all the people of his village pursues him to say that he likes their daughter, so that their daughter gets married soon. Once, Ram Babu gets a stroke on his head. When he goes to hospital, the Doctor says that he has Brain Tumour and he will not be alive for more than 10 days. He comes to Hyderabad due to in-toleration of the mercy looks of the villagers. He challenges the gangster activities in the city, as he thinks to carry out good deeds in these 10 days. In this regard, he saves Nandini (Esther). She falls in love with Ram Babu after this incident. But, he did not care for her, as he thinks that he is going to die within 10 days. However, he gets shocked with the news that he doesn’t have Brain Tumour and comes to know that the doctors have changed his reports. What happened about the courage that he showed during these 10 days? Did Ram Babu eventually behaved as before? How he saved himself from the gangsters? What happened about the Nandini’s Love? All these will be known from the second-half.
Positives :
* Sunil looks fresh in this film and tried his best to be different.
* Tanikella Bharani justifies his important role.
* Raghubabu with his gang and Posani comedy bits are okay in parts.
Negatives :
* Even though there is comedy in the movie, there is not even a single full length comedy scene which can entertain the audience.
* The long fight sequences are very boring as they are away from the normalcy. Fights are the major drawback in the film as they are long.
* Esther fails to impress as Nandini. She did not bring the explosive energy that Sunil brought into his role.
Technical Aspects :
* The Production values did not touch the standards of Suresh Productions.
* Uday Shankar disappointed both as a director and writer.
* The music by Anup Rubens is of a mixed bag, but with a good back ground score. The song “Premalo Padanura ….” looks good on-screen.
* Santosh Rao’s cinematography is neat.
* The main attraction of the technology lay in the conversations.
Tollywoodjunction Verdict :
The story of the movie is very thin and goes in snail-pace narration. A timid young man from Bheemavaram goes to Hyderabad after knowing that he has only 10 days to live. He wants to do what gives him happiness and starts fighting with gangsters in the city. But fortunately, he remains alive after 10 days. The movie seems to have inspired from few Bollywood as well as Tollywood films from the past. Even though there are many villains, the Hero just goes around the Heroine’s father to gain her love, leaving all the gang aside in the second -half.
It’s a boring film that banks heavily on poor comedy. Comedy alone cannot save a film when there is no grip on the story. Everything about the movie has an out dated look and feel. The fights are too dragged and the costumes look antiquated. The emotions don’t work because of the love story entirely fails to make much impact. Even though they made their efforts, which is evident in every frame, but sadly the results are not up to the mark.
The movie is like a time pass film. That too only in the first-half. A very simple story….simply produced….. Simply made and simply released on the audience. The result is also likely to be simple…. !
