Analysis :
Allari but this time he also concentrates on the parents too. He touches right chord with some good moments, interesting dialogues, and heart touching sentiment scenes prior to the climax. Voiceover (written by director himself) is funny and intelligent too. Dialogues are best part of the movie. The basic theme of the movie – relationship between parents and their children is handled deftly. Yet, it has boring moments. Especially, the first 10 minutes and lengthy fight scene climax are urgently needed to be trimmed. Hero’s father is rigid parent never shows affection towards his children and his wife. Towards the end, he realizes his mistake when he loses his wife. Heroine’s father is liberal guy but his belief system is crashed when his daughter is dragged into a MMS controversy. These scenes are strengths of the movie. Director Ravi Babu has handled sentiment moments especially the Raksha’s death scene being the highlight, and picturisation of songs so well. Ravi Babu has reputation of being a quirky director as he makes sometimes good movies like Allari and Anasuya, at times scares the audiences with his eccentric flicks like Party, Ammayilu Abbayilu, etc. This time he has done balancing act – some very fine scenes and some dragging sequences. Looks like he also matured now. That is shown in the movie and he has done commendable job in many departments - writing, music, technical aspects. Some camera movements are really awesome.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Newcomers Tanish and Madhavi Lata are cute pair. Both are good looking and have shown promise. Tanish is still in teens but he has come up with nice performance. His dialogue delivery has resemblance to Uday Kiran. Newcomer Madhavi Latha has good looks as well as talent too. She can be good heroine. Raksha in the role of middle class mother and director Kasi Vishwanth have shined. Kasi and Raksha’s performances come as surprise packages. In all Ravi Babu’s films picturisation of songs and good visuals stand out. In Nachchavu Le too he has shown his creativity in canning songs and extracting visual quality in simple locations. Sudhakar Reddy’s cinematography (of Anasuya fame) is major plus. Sharat Chandra’s songs have elevated the movie’s theme but his re-recording is loud. The pathos song when Rakha’s death has meaningful lyrics by Bhaskara Bhatla. As writer Ravi Babu has succeeded big time. But he needs to trim the film in the second half and the climax could have been better.
