Ravi Teja has been concentrating more on action thrillers and tried to improve his market to Pan-India level. But he needs a success at this moment and he is hoping that Kishore Tirumala's Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthy can do that for him. The movie is a complete family entertainer with Dubai Sreenu, Venky, Avunu Valliddaru Isthapaddaru kind of films. After Krack, he is hoping for this Sankranti film to win big. Let's discuss about the film released on 13th January, in detail.
Plot:
Ram Satyanarayana (Ravi Teja) is a successful vineyard company owner based in Hyderabad. His wife Balamani (Dimple Hayathi) runs the company with him and they prepare a wine, Anarkali. He tries to expand its market and sends sample to Indian origin's Spanish Company, United Spirits. They reject to tie-up and he tries to meet the owner Manasa Shetty (Ashika Ranganath). He gets to know that her PA Sudharshan (Satya) is stopping good wine collaborations to sabotage her company and taking bribes from her rivals.
He meets her anonymously and their friendship blossom. Indirectly, he makes her taste Anarkali and she finalises deal with his company without knowing he is the CEO. She decides to take their friendship to physical level and in a weak moment, Satya commits the mistake. He wants to reveal to her that he is married but she tells him that she wants it to be a beautiful memory and nothing much. But after he returns to Hyderabad, she visits on a professional work and decides to meet him again. Now, can he manage the secret with his over-possessive wife Balamani? What will Manasa do after knowing the truth? Watch the movie to know more.
Analysis :
Ravi Teja after a long time, did a free-flowing performance and he did not put any restrains. He danced like crazy, his energy has been great and his comic timing worked in many parts. He did not think twice to dance to serial song remixes and old songs throughout. He carried the film on his shoulders and his performance works. Ashika Ranganth looked beautiful and glamorous, mainly, in Spain portions. Her ease in performance is the second major highlight of the film.
Sunil looked spirited and his old self in this film. His scenes worked out well in first half. Satya, seemed to go overboard and at places they did not really ignite desired effect. Rohan and Vennela Kishore are good enough while Muralidhar Goud did bring chuckles in few scenes. But Tarak Ponappa did not have any impact and even Dimple Hayathi role is heavily underwritten.
The first half had sequences that really worked and presented new tone to an age-old formulaic story and treatment. But the same cannot be said about the second half as mostly the screenplay and narrative sticked to tried and tested scenes. Not even in one scene, we find such innovative approach like in the first hour. Also, the meme references take over and spoofs, dances to remixes take over from the core plot and emotion.
Pellam Oorelthe, Intlo Illalu Vantillo Priyuralu, Aavida Maa Aavide kind of films did bring these sort of subjects and even the song remixed in the film, Karthika Deepam, also has similar plot. So, the makers have been aware of it, yet, they did not really bring in any innovation in the second half to really stick the landing. The obvious solution seems to have been dragged out in pre-climax portions with dumbcharades and Satya comedy.
Cinematography is decent enough but the cheating episodes to showcase Spain and over-usage of disco lights does not board well. The gags feel repetitive but Bheems Ceciroleo did his best to elevate and remix songs. His work stands out among the technical crew but writing and editing needed to be sharp. Kishore Tirumala is known for inserting good emotions into his stories and even in an all-out entertainer, he promised that there are certain elements where in innovated but he left out the basic bonding between wife and husband, even husband's with his girl friend.
While there is a lot of scope for situational comedy, the content doesn't really connect or really makes us laugh out loud throughout. But with Ravi Teja's energy, his vintage style comic timing, opened up performance and Ashika Ranganath's glamour we can say that the film does entertain to an extent. Being a too old story and not having a really strong half-an-hour towards the climax to bypass any sort of fatigue and repetitiveness, makes it underwhelming experience.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Ravi Teja did try something fresh after going overboard with action entertainers. And that is the only unique aspect for BMW while everything else is routine.
