The film has a blend of emotion, sentiment, love and family drama. Venkatesh came out with this soft role after a long time.
Story:
Ganesh (Venkatesh) is the guy who turns 30 plus but couldn’t find any job. Many of his friends settle down in their lives and his father (Kota Sreenivasa Rao) reminds him of his responsibility with many a non verbal. Once he also breaks out with grief for the non-settlement of his motherless son. After many trials for about a decade, he finds a job in Software Company. Keerthi (Trisha) happens to be his trainer. Ganesh falls in her love. But when he expresses his love for her she negates and says that she is getting married the subsequent month. Ganesh gets into grief. Later Ganesh discovers that the guy who is marrying Keerthi is his friend. His friend asks him to come along with him to the village and stay with his till the marriage. The drama from then reminds us of many past films. Finally, the emotions are understood and the film comes to a happy end.
Performances:
Venkatesh is good in his role. He kept his image aside and acted as a real artiste. He also agreed to act in some nasty scenes as director’s artiste.
Trisha looked really good. She suited perfectly beside Venkatesh. She performed with sheer professionalism in a few scenes and her expression to Venkatesh in sari shop after wearing green sari is marvelous.
Sree Ram did well in his role and his role required some performance in the last part of second half only.
Kota Sreenivasa Rao has some notable character role to play. He acted with enough of melo drama in first half of the film.
Colors Swathi appeared on screen after a long time after Krishna Vamshi’s ‘Danger’. She is still looking cute and young like before. She tickled with some comedy with her nuances as a hot-teenager.
Other characters are for namesake.
Dialogues are not so gripping. Direction is ok but sounds obsolete. Music also resembles 7G Brindavan Colony.
Minus Points:
Venkatesh utters a dialogue saying, ‘Moham Meedha Acid Posthaa’. That wouldn’t sound appropriate and censor board must have taken care in cutting that. There are many among masses those would inspire with the word of their hero.
Analysis:
When the film is coming with the combination of Trisha and Venkatesh with the title ‘Adavari Matalaku Ardhaley Veruley’, people expect something on the lines of Trivikram-Vijayabhaskar stuff. But here the director Sree Raghava is a master in establishing pathos and broken love on screen. Yuvan Shankara Raja added wind to the director. But at the same time, comedy is grooved in the film without separate tracks but as a part and parcel of the film.
First half of the film runs with slow narration but Venkatesh’s comedy works well. Many of the scenes were elongated. About 25 minutes of the film can cut down. Director and producers should consider grooming it. Second half runs with country side comedy and serious pathos mixed with sentiment.
The film appears to be a cluster of all old films. Climax appears to be as expected. Only the class audiences may turn well for this film but the masses may not relish it well.
