I am a fan of Shekhar kammula movies and sai pallavi's acting & dancing. The admirable thing in his movies is heart touching scenes or dialogues. Even a simple scene of appaginthalu in fidaa movie is so connecting and we feel it the emotion completely. The characters and scenes used to haunt me. But that kind of mark is missing in this movie I feel. There are fewer scenes that I could connect or feel the emotion. He spent much time on hero and heroines struggle in the city but he spent little time or scenes on when and how the love started. I felt like a bit sudden when she kissed him. The Dubai sequence is not at all connecting to me. It was a deceiving plan to make their love success. Its not fighting. So, the beautiful song ni chitram choosi is not connecting. Finally the climax the last 15 min I felt happened very fast or rushed. Changing goal posts where he wants us to take. It is like he forcibly want to tell two things at the same time. The abuse and caste. I would say he should have deleted the dubai sequence and spent more time on addressing both issues or smoother climax. In Dubai sequence the sai pallavi acting of showing pain of separation is fabulous. The saranga dariya dance is out of the world. Little disappointing here is the sarangadariya lyrics and the Pallavi's character doesn't match. She is rather opposite fearful, traumatized one. Showing Rajivkanakala in that song is like power cuts while watching cricket match finals or sachin batting or your favourite show. There was one good moment not utilized. When Pallavi proposes to dance with Chaitu on the evening of their grand zumba center opening. That was a beautiful opportunity to have wonderful song or ferocious more connecting dance performance of both of them. But it ends like a simple casual dance only shown for a minute or 2.
But I must admire the writing when she pass comment on his caste out of frustration. That scene hurts so bad. The subtle descrimination, generalization in passing comments is greatly shown in the movie through several simple scenes from start to end. I appreciate that. Showing abuse as another issue was not surprising to me at the end. I was expecting it from the beginning from Pallavi's characterization. So, it was not like a surprise to me. May be because I have seen such characterization in other movies already. Tried hard to balance two issues in the same story is a plus and minus for the movie. The sai palllavi is amazing throught the movie. Nagachaitanya did well too. 4 songs are beautiful. Saranga dariya, ye pilla, ni chitram chusi, rum pum. Chicken dinner song is wasted opportunity. Mother's character is wonderful. Gangavva scenes are hilarious.
