Nithya Menen and Dulquer Salman were last seen in Malayalam movie '100 Days of Love'. Now the same movie has been dubbed in Telugu with same title and let's see how the movie has shaped up.The movie is all about a writer called Rao Gopal Rao(Dulquer Salman) who spots the gorgeous Savitri(Nithya Menen) in a taxi and falls head over heels for her. He starts a manhunt for her and after more hardships and trials he finds her. Just when he tries to confronts her love, he comes to know that it is his old school mate whom he hated all his life. The rest of the movie is all about how Gopal changed his mind and manages to win Savitri who is already engaged to some other person.
Nithya Menen and Dulquer fits the bill perfectly. But if you expect 'OK Bangaram', you are in for disappointment. The performances are subtle. But the lacklustre and boring screenplay makes us yawn ! The only good thing is the performance of the lead cast. Due to their performance, the movie looks bearable. Even though Nithya has very less to do in first half, she manages to pull it in second half. The second half of the movie has all the romance and intimacy. That may blend with youngsters.
The first half of the movie is the real villain. Second half is slightly better and climax 15 minutes are totally interesting. The first half tests our patience due to poor editing and sloppy screenplay. The director uses the entire first half just to search the heroine. Even the situations used are seen in 'n' number of movies. These portions should have been narrated in a brisk manner. But they are completely slow paced. The character of Nithya menen is also not clear. It should be transparent. Cinematography is cool. Frames are perfect. Dubbing is also not bad. Telugu dialogues are also well written. However Music and Lyrics are completely pathetic. Director Januse Mohd has done a very simple job.
The dubbed version of '100 Days of Love' may not create the same magic as Malayalam version did. However things gone for a toss in first half and it pulls down the movie. The lead performances are the only positives. Pre-climax portions are good. Music is too bad. Telugu dialogues are solid. However lyrics and songs are so bad.
