'Aitey' director Chandrashekhar makes his second movie. Not having seen 'Aitey' I will not be able to give a comparison.
The plot revolves around the leading lady Charmy who has lost a day in her life and is unable to recall the happenings on that day. The repurcussions of which she seems to be facing daily. How does she discover what's going on in her life? Who helps her out of it?
Well-written & well-picturised the movie tries to belong to the RGV genre. The first half could have been trimmed to make it a taut film. A song at the wrong time just before the climax is what makes me call it an attempt at the RGV genre. The cinematography is particularly good. Music by Keeravani is good. "Left o Right o.." and "Evarayna chusuntara...' are two songs which show Keeravani's brilliance. Using self-acclaimed pop star Smitha's voice in "evarayna.." turns out to be a good choice.
Charmy leaves an indellible impression! She is outstanding! Comaprisons to Sridevi and Revathi only go to show the brilliance of this actress. A class act throughout. I haven't seen her before. So, I also thought she was fresh and away from the navel-exposing, pouting for attention kind of today's heroines!
Jagapathi Babu has this knack of excelling in supporting roles! Remember 'Anthahpuram'? Again here, as a Real juice sipping, thinking, but suspended cop who wants to marry Charmy, he puts across a very convincing performance. I am yet to see him in his 'Gayam' days! That was vintage Jagapathi Babu!
Among others, you are forced to call Sashank as the hero. He does well. His role doesn't require him to be very expressive. Yet you empathise with him as you watch the movie. There's very little of him though. The script is totally inclined towards Charmy's character.
Gunnam Gangaraju having produced the film gets himself into the film as a comedian. Looked like he didn't want to pay Sunil a hefty amount for it! Everytime he spoke I got this impression he was trying to imitate Sunil. But blame it on my rare viewing of telugu movies and unlimited admiration for the comic timing of Sunil!
Pavan Malhotra is wasted. Charmy's friend who gets pregnant through the 'missionary' position and is so matter-of-fact about it actually makes an impression!
The social messages conveyed through the movie are commendable. Very aptly timed. Don't believe in anybody blindly and Drugs is a bad habit!
Glad I watched this movie in telugu after a long time.
