Plot

Lav (Tanish) is a kind of guy whose aim in life is to ‘patao’ a girl. Like innumerable teenage boys, he just wants to experience the feeling of having a girl friend. Anu (Madhavi Latha) is a responsible teenage girl who works part-time in a coffee shop. Lav wants to love her, but she is not of that type. In an occasion, he saves Anu’s father. Impressed with him, she asks him to ask for any favor. Lav asks Anu to be his girl friend for 15 days. Anu agrees to it on certain conditions (no physical touch). In the process, the detached Anu falls in love with Lav. And Lav is more excited to flaunt his girl friend to his friends than actually caring for her. The rest of the story is all about how Lav realizes what’s true love is. 

Artists Performance

Tanish is extremely talented. His dialogue delivery and ease in acting make him standout. His debut is one of the most promising debuts in this year. The guy who did the role of hero’s friend is also very natural. The actor who donned the villain role is good. Heroine Madhavi Latha is promising. This film also sports many technicians as actors. Director Kasi Viswanath (Nuvvu Leka Nenu Lenu director) did the role of hero’s father and he is cool. There is lot of comedy timing in him. Art director Narayana Reddy acted as the tonsured boy who is an assistant to villain. Writer Prasad did the role of heroine’s sadistic neighbor who keeps asking heroine’s father to look at positive side in disastrous situations. Director Sarath did another prominent role. Item girl Raksha did a nice role of hero’s mother.

Story - Screenplay - Direction

This film deals with the social problem of many teenage boys who just want to have a girl friend for the kick of it. It also touches the burning issue of ‘cell phone videos leakage’. Ravi Babu narrated the entire film from the hero’s point of view by making his narrate from the moment he is born. Ravi Babu has the experience of ad-film making. And he used that ad-film touch to his Allari and Soggadu (only first half). With the freedom given by Ramoji, Ravi Babu gave that touch to the entire film. There is a color pattern (green and bluish) and sophisticated humor angle. He dealt first half of the film very well. However, he could have done the last half an hour of the film (screenplay glitch) in a better way. The following comedy/creative scenes are excellent

1. The entire humor involving the kids. 
2. The van episode: The Annapurna mobile van is used excellently to create a series of riotous moments in the film. 
3. Hero realizes the focusing aspect by looking at a boy’s focusing on a single fruit.
4. The pick-up lines hero uses to ‘patao’ girls. 
5. The use of paint dabbas by family members.
6. The hero’s plight of giving a love note in the song. 

The following aspects should have been dealt well

1. Crude comedy used for heroine’s father heart-attack. 
2. The final episode hero-heroine-villain tussle. 

Other departments: The music by Sekhar Chandra (son of cinematographer Hari Anumolu) stands out. Pavu Takkuva Tommidi sung by Jassie Gift is extremely peppy and is excellently shot. The ‘black n white’ theme song with black articles fading away is very creative. Other songs also reflect the theme and mood of the film (neither forced duets nor routine songs). Cinematography by Sudhakar Reddy is very good. The art work by Narayana Reddy deserves mention. Dialogues are neat. The entire film is shot at Ramoji Film City (hence you see Margadasi advertisements in backdrop during most part of the film). Ramoji Rao should be commended for allowing Ravi Babu to shoot the entire film the way he wanted to. They stuck to a theme and followed it throughout.

Analysis

The initial half an hour of the film is excellent. First half of the film is good. Second half is adequate. The last half an hour should have been dealt better. The plus points of the film are humor and romance. On the flip side, the last half an hour should have been dealt better. On a whole, Nachavule is worth a watch for being a different flick and a theme film.

Life itself has a lie in it. People do lie for a lot of reasons in life – to maintain secrecy, one’s own reputation, to shield others feelings and so on. The elder’s saying goes as, “Lie is good when it’s meant for a pious purpose. One can lie if it doesn’t carry a bad intention.” These words form the storyline of 'Andamaina Abaddam'.

Director RaviRaja Pinisetty was on a break for awhile and now he is back with 'Andamaina Abaddam' starring Raja, Kamna Jhathmalani in the lead. PP Reddy, M.KesavaRaju and Jonnada Ramana have produced the movie jointly on Murthy Mega Hindustan banner. The film was released today on 5th December.

Story

Pradeep (Raja) and Vaishnavi (Kamna) are in Bangkok for their higher studies. In a romantic interlude, they get acquainted with each other. Eventually the pair falls in love and decides to get married.

The heroine’s father Akula Raghu Ram (Nagababu) is completely against love and he doesn’t believe in such a concept. At the same time Narendra (Nilalgal Ravi) is always in favor of love and lovers. Vaishnavi who is aware of her dad’s nature, knows that he will never consent for their marriage. So, she proposes Pradeep to marry her by registering in Bangkok.

But, Pradeep doesn’t agree to her idea. He assures her that he will convince her parents and marry with their approval. One of the friends of Akula Raghu Ram, Ravudu (Naresh) brings the news of his daughter’s love to him. The father gets completely enraged yet their marriage takes place in a happy ending. All this events takes place based on a lie uttered by Pradeep.

What was the lie that Pradeep told to marry Vaishnavi? What consequences do they face later on? How did it all end? Is the movie’s plot that is being narrated in the two and half hours.

Performance of Artists

Raja as Pradeep has enacted the character well, but he doesn’t have any specific points to be appreciated about. Kamna as Vaishnavi is just ok, and mentioning her appearance cannot be referred as a special attraction. Nagababu as Akula Raghubabu justified the character exhibiting dignity that is much needed. Similarly, Nilalgal Ravi as Narendra and Sudha as his wife portrayed their characters well.

In other roles, Shivaji Raja, Surekha Vani, Hema, Sudeep, Rekha, Radhakumari, have presented an average performance. Specially, the entertainment aspect has been presented well by MS Narayana, Posani Krishna Murali, Ali and Naresh.

Technical aspects

The technical aspects of the movie are not so praiseworthy. MM Sreelekha's composition of songs and re-recording, editing by Gautham Raju, lyrics by Bhaskar Bhatla and dialogues by Ramesh Gopi are all average. Ram Pinisetty's photography gets just a tick.

On a whole, the movie lacks in technicality and has nothing to boast about. It is all on an average scale.

Last Word

Director RaviRaja Pinisetty was a successful maker with various box office hits. Both his action and family entertainers were received equally earlier. But this time he failed to garner attention. Although the story selection is good, the screenplay is not in accordance with the current trend. In a nutshell, the director has said a not so beautiful lie.
