Thella Kaagitham starring Harsh Roshan and Nakshatra got a huge buzz with viral leak intimate scene and Inter College students theme. The movie released today and being about young-adults, let's see how the movie deals with this theme on screen, in detail. 

 

Plot: 

Ramu (Harsh Roshan) falls in love with his classmate Asha (Nakshatra). She doesn't love him at first but his pursuit convinces her to fall for him. One day, they get intimate and now, they are worried about her pregnancy. When it is confirmed, he and she try everything to hide it from parents. What happens next? Watch the movie to know more. 

 

Analysis: 

Harsh Roshan is decent in this role and his performance as a young-adult is apt. But there is nothing new for him to perform well in the movie that follows regular template in such sensitive movies. Still, he did his best. 

Nakshatra is good but her character did not get enough variety as it feels like she had only few emotions in the second half, either fear or cry. Ajay and Saranya did not roles that leave an impact. 

Thella Kaagitham works when it tries to keep it simple and easy. The romance portions featuring two young-adults are written to represent such immaturity. Hence, those portions appeal but when the second hour losses the novelty. It feels similar and dragged to death. 

The portions might have worked better had the things been simplified and not went too much into melodrama. Predictability factor also harms the film big time but the first hour's novelty makes it enjoyable to an extent. Music and editing could have been better while cinematography in some portions is very good. Overall, movie undermines its own narrative with over stretched melodrama. 

 

Positives: 

Harsh Roshan and Nakshatra chemistry 

Enjoyable first hour 

Social message

Two songs 

 

Negatives: 

Predictable story 

Lethargic narrative 

Over dependency on melodrama 

No innovation in second hour crisis 

Over stretched mid-portions and pre-climax 

 

Bottomline: A white paper on indecisiveness but drags too much. 

 

Rating: 2.5/5
