Story:
After scoring a comeback blockbuster this sankranthi with f2 Fun and Frustration victory venkatesh has joined hands with real Alludu naga chaitanya who gave a comeback with majili for venky Mama, directed by KS ravindra aka Bobby. Here's team ap Herald's exclusive first on net venky Mama review.
Karthik (Naga Chaitanya) and
venky (Venkatesh) share a great bond, as
karthik was raised by
venky after his
parents passed away, and
karthik returns to the
village from the army. He has faced a break up with Harika(Raashi Khanna) and
venky tries to unite them, and on the other hand,
karthik tries to unite
venky with
hindi teacher
payal Rajput. Situations lead to misunderstandings between
karthik and
venky, and what happened finally is what the emotional entertainer is all about.
Performances:
Venkatesh delivers a composed act as he gives a performance that's a mix of loud humor as well as controlled emotions and excels while
naga chaitanya is seen giving an underplay except for action episodes. The two beauties
raashi khanna and
payal rajput sizzle and ooze oomph on-screen offering a glam feast for fans. The rest of the cast including
prakash raj, Nasser, Sampath, Posani, Rao Ramesh, Brahmaji, Geetha, Vidyullekha are adequate.
Technicalities:
Background score by
ss thaman is loud and massy at times and of his songs, Coca-cola Pepsi and Yennellako are hum worthy. Cinematography by
prasad Murella is impressive while editing by Prawin Pudi could have been better.
Analysis:
After back to back failures of Sardar
gabbar singh and
jai Lava Kusa, this time around
director KS
ravindra aka Bobby has joined hands with real-life mama - Alludu
venkatesh and
naga chaitanya for
venky Mama. The
movie starts on an interesting note but once the
army portions are over, it's the very usual
tollywood mass masala template beaten to death and
ravindra fails to execute it well with a gripping screenplay. While
venkatesh and Chay try hard to keep the
audience engaged with their performances, Ravindra's screenplay wanders aimlessly between unnecessary action sequences, glam fest songs, artificial
romantic sequences, ultimately making
venky Mama a colossal disastrous outing, once again spoiling the comeback of
venky and chay. All said, despite
venky and Chay's efforts
venky Mama could not be saved.
Verdict: Another weak outing for
venky and chay after comebacks.
