Telugu Cinema needs new and talented makers to bring innovation and out-of-box ideas to the forefront. Vinay Ratnam has written and directed Sri Chidambaram Garu with a different concept about suicidal tendencies and depression. With new actors in the leading roles, the movie released Today and it impressed many with its teaser and trailer. Let's look at the movie in detail.
Plot:
Solomon aka Chidambaram (Vamsi Tummala) has a complex that people would never accept him as he is. Due to squint eye he feels people will make fun of him all the time. They keep calling him Chidambaram and his father has committed suicide. He goes through depression but he has a love interest in Leela (Sandhya Vashishta). He proposes to her but he thinks that she rejected him. Why? What changes do happen in his life post that "rejection"? Watch the film to know more.
Analysis:
Vamsi Tummala and Sandhya Vasishta are good in their roles. They used the opportunity they found with this film and delivered good performances. But the emotional scenes needed much more sincerity from the leads as at several places their inexperience is on display. Consistently, they were able to deliver decent enough performances that hold together film to some level.
While the story idea is good and necessary, the execution doesn't meet the intentions. At many places, the film feels like a short film dragged to great lengths without a coherent screenplay that builds on scene after scene. Each scene needs to build on the tension but the movie gives a feel of being repetitive and predictable as even technically, the film looks jaded at places.
Such films need a very consistent pacing that keeps building to the climax making audiences forget that it is a film. In several films that touch upon such stories, we have witnessed how a storyteller tries to bring in new characters or keep both the leading characters story air tight so, audiences either experience a slow burn or get lost in entertaining sequences. Overall, the movie has good intentions and with even better scripting and execution movie would have been even impactful. It ends up being a decent attempt.
Bottomline:
A decent attempt with noble intentions with better execution would have been more impactful.
Rating: 2.5/5
