Kathi Kantha Rao movie review - E V V trying hard to put message in comedy

For strange reasons when whole world is using Allari Naresh for out-and-out comedies, E V V wants to make a point by infusing message into his comedies .

He did similar attempt in 'Fitting Master , Bendu Appa Rao etc., " .
In this movie , Allari Naresh is police constable with two elder sisters and two younger sisters. His elder sister’s husbands always force him to bring gifts all the time. On another hand Kantha rao father forces him to do his other sisters marriage. He has girl to add to the problems. How he deals with all these things with few twists forms the rest of the story.

Though mostly slapstick, there are few original EVV comedy touches which brings laughs in the theatres.
Naresh is getting better and better with his comedy timing and he is perfect for the role.
Kamna is used only for the "X" factor and she is generous. Couple of songs are good.

Ali's scenes in the first half are crude . Ahuti prasad in second half is loud.

Highlights :

Allari Naresh,
Coemdy Episodes in both first half and second half where story takes back seat

Weak points :

Some routine crude and repetitive comedy by seasoned comedians.

Bottom Line :

Yet another "money back gurantee for distributors " movie by Naresh. Watch it over the weekend if there is no better work to do.

Manasara movie review.... Oka priki vaadi love story...

There is one scene in the movie , when hero utters the sentence ..em pirikollu preminchakoodaaa.. It sums up the movie as a whole. Its about a timid guy's live story set in the kerala back drop.

Brief narration of an already brief story:


Vikram (Vikram) is a timid fellow with parents fight with each other for silly reasons.

Vikram’s father, a bank employee, gets transferred to Rajapalayam in Kerala and this is a small place which is dominated by culture and tradition.ALL the settlements are decided by Kalari Payattu, a martial art .

The story takes a turn when Vikram chances upon Anjali (Sri Divya) and it is love at first sight. However, Divya has her own troubles in the form of her lusty bava Rajan Pillai (George) who is the champion in Kalari.

Its obviously now "Jayam " type of pains and "Thammudu" type of climax.


Highlights :

1. Cinematography
2. Heroine did well
3. Two Songs are cool

Negatives:

1. These movies should go with tight narration, but the emotions are not captured well and hence
audience do not connect.

2. Comedy is very weak causing boredom

The basic idea of hero winning heroine fighting odds is a time tested success formula picked by ravi babu, taking the backdrop to kerala might just keep the masses not connected to the Hero.
