on Jun 19, 2015

Producer Lagadapati Sridhar is not able to find any hit these days as most of his production ventures tasted bitter at box office. Desperate to score a success, he grabbed remake rights of Kannada super hit “Charminar” and made it with Sudhir Babu and Nanditha for Telugu audiences as “Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini”.
The CONTENT:
Krishna (Sudhir Babu) is below middle-class guy from a village who falls flat for Radha (Nanditha) during their school days. He fails to convey her love her during school days, and then during college days. Now that the story shifts to Hyderabad due to some circumstances and Krishna becomes a job holder, will he get a chance to convey his love? Will Radha accept him? Will they see a good ending? This is what the story is all about.
The EFFORT:
On-Screen:
Improvisation at its best, Sudhir Babu tried to steal the show. As a kid, as a college going teen and then as a fully grown up responsible guy, his attitude and makeovers are stunning. Among all the films he has done till date, this is his best show. But still, his dialogue delivery needs that pep.
Nandita is a bubbly treat for audiences and it looks likes she could pull any role effortlessly. Though she has limited expressions, where eyes do more of the talking, she excelled as reserved village girl. After these two, Posani is the show stealer for his timing and maverick style of acting. Rest actors did their best.
Special appearance of Rana and Naga Chaitanya might excite their fans.
Off-Screen:
Directror R Chandru is the one who directed original Charminar and he made slight changes to Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini to suit nativity. But problem is that Chandru hasn’t understood the sensibilities with which Telugu audiences love to watch films. Films with unconditional love will work at box office only if director stuffs them peppy screenplay. That’s missing in Chandru’s work.
Music director Hari has given some melodious tunes for the film, but they are not so catchy or heart rending. His background score excelled in parts and dried up in some areas. All other departments did a pretty good job.
The PLUSES:
Sudhir and Posani
Last 30 minutes of film
The MINUSES:
Jerky screenplay
Slow narrative in first hour
Native 80s kind script
BREAKDOWN:
From Mooga Manasulu to Naa Autograph, to Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini, movies with profound and unconditional love are always a subject of interest. These love stories always excited audiences, especially youths. But what is to be understood by filmmakers is the sensibility their film could make. Earlier, a lover waiting for his love’s letter through a post-card used to convey the deep ‘missing’ feel, but now with Facebooks and Whatsapps taking centre stage, such scenes doesn’t look fit. That’s what missed in this love story of Sudhir Babu and Nanditha.
Film starts like any other typical love story where a boy falls for a girl very much during the tender age. This generation is full of boyfriends and girlfriends culture, so they might not get connected to such openings. As the love story of Krishna towards Radha, read one-side love, shifts from school to college, narrative gets bombed big time. Amidst this slow pace, an interval packs up things.
Later when the second hour starts, narrative hasn’t got any better. Director would have felt that cute emotions work big time, but that needs to have more appealing star cast. Sometimes Sudhir fumbled and Nanditha looked mediocre while the screenplay is of snail’s pace. Finally when situation doesn’t get any better for audiences, an emotional pre-climax and climax drive the audiences towards good feel. But after an hour of beating on head, one last sweet wouldn’t create a wholesome wonderful effect.
Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini is a nourishing emotional love story that makes many middle-aged people go nostalgic about their own love stories. But for youths of present generation, this slow-paced love story will not connect. Problem is that they are being broughtup in a different gadget filled, tech laced world altogether. And many emotions in the flick are spelled through dialogues rather emotions, which will disappoint even class audiences in A centres. Needless to say, B & C audiences will not get kick out of this flick.
Final words: Krishnamma unites on-screen lovers, but upsets film-lovers.
RATING: 2.5/5
