POSITIVES IN HIGH BUT REQUIRED DOSES
Most
people including me talk nonsense most of the time and are at a quick phase and
in a hurry try to conclude or judge..
Along with several good things, lot of nonsense came along with this
movie. Few such notions which needs to be dispelled and here are my impressions
1) Venkatesh character, acting is as important as Mahesh and he has done a
simply marvellous job. What a fabulous acting he has done, and he actually
elevated Mahesh character, and acting. What can anyone still talk about Mahesh
babu acting and as Grusha said, he can act without fights too. 2) IT is not just one of those general feel good movie.. It is an absolutely
brilliantly thought movie with fine characterization and not a single
character, role, frame, dialogue looks unwanted. 3) Length is pretty decent and after a very
long time, actually felt that length could be longer.
Two
people need special mention. Producer Dilraju and Director Srikanth addala...
How could Dilraju have understood and accepted this story and had guts to
produce this movie? It is very difficult to put this as a story and explain.
Then how did the producer have the conviction to make such a movie and that too
with Mahesh and Venkatesh ? This movie is not just a family story but a
penance, a YAGNA with ingredients picked up from all that is best about
India.... Family values, scriptures, traditions and concepts like happiness,
living, peace, goodness etc. Not a mean task to put all these together in any
form .
Is
it possible to have all the elements mentioned above and still venture to make
a presentation in a popular medium called Cinema with Such big stars ? I would not have believed before watching
this movie.. Every single message is there to be taken and understood without
any preaching or boredom. There is entertainment in every frame without missing
the poignancy. I have not seen such a clean telugu movie in last several years.
The tears in most scenes in the second half does not roll down the cheeks as
the tears stop to think , as to why is it coming out and tells itself should stay there with a purpose to digest all
that is delicate .
Walking
out of theatre after the movie only brought positive thoughts and a very good
feeling. Life is so beautiful with simple, minute things and understanding is
what one carries as we walk out of theatre. No obscenity of any kind or
measure, no exaggerations, no unreal situations, no larger than life for Mahesh
babu sequences and just a normal simple life story told very
realistically. I would not mind another
30 minutes of the movie and children at home did not like the idea that movie
length was chopped. Many honest reactions came about like my 21 year old nephew
who was asking me, will the movie inspire 5 % audience at least to change and his question was more on what he wanted to
happen.
India
signifies family relationships and values. Family as a unit alone can make or
break a society. Coming this from a tollywood is most welcome as people stop
believing that tollywood can make meaningful movies. This movie helps people
sensitize, think and pauses them from IPad’s, mobiles, you tubes, and all that
is taking away the human connections.
Anjali,
the actress makes you feel very subtle, Venkatesh makes you introspect , Mahesh
gives you pride , jaya sudha gives you power of tolerance and Prakash raj
allows you to just get in touch with the
self that most normally avoid.
Mani Sharma deserves a special mention and Mickey songs sound better on screen.
Srikanth Addala must have just translated only 5 % of the stuff he had in my
mind and understandably took so long to make this movie and what will happen if he had done it
100%.... Good he did not as he left us
think, ponder and yes wonder about basic human life and values that go with it.
This is a Very meaningful movie, sensibly made
without missing entertainment and a must watch for all with bigger groups and
joint families. Please watch as this kind of movie has really done a good
service to human minds and emotions. This has done what a mass media like movie
ought to be doing for good and yet be commercially viable. Special hats off to
DIlraju garu.
