Story:
Ramu alias Romeo and Jyothy alias Juliet run away from their homes to fulfill their dreams. Juliet dreams to become a model and Romeo wants to earn big by doing business. They both happen to meet in a train and become friends.
But they realize the pain of living peacefully and plainly without parental support. Hence they decide to become thieves to make both ends meet and fulfill their dreams. And they turn thieves and betray many dishonest businessmen and loot from them.
And a police officer DCP Yugandhar (Jagapathiu Babu) runs behind them to catch. That makes the content of the film.
Performances:
Tarun did his best as usual and Ileana looked beautiful with sensible costumes. In fact Ileana dominated Tarun with her appearance especially in songs. Jagapathi Babu played a dynamic role with tinge of humor in characterization. Comedy between Dharmavarapu and Brahmanandam worked really well. Villainy by Pradeep Rawat also has shown its impact in considerable way.
Music by Radha Krishna didn’t bear his mark. Almost all the tracks are lifted from various new and old Hindi songs right from ‘Gupt’ to ‘Dhoom’.
Editing, screenplay and dialogues are impressive and they made the movie an impressive treat all together. Director Vijaya Bhasker deserves encomiums for giving a wholesome entertainer. Although a direct lifting from ‘Bunty Aur Bubli’, Vijaya Bhasker made this film with enough of attention and alertness.
Analysis:
Hollywood film ‘Fun with Dick and Jane’ was made ‘Bunty aur Babli’ in Bollywood. And ‘Bhale Dongalu’ is the Telugu remake of the same. It’s a comedy treat and narrates the story of good thieves, those pilfer from mischievous businessmen and help the needy with the same.
The film is made in richness without any compromise in making. Charmy’s item song sends current theatres. She looked dazzling and voluptuous in the song. Ileana also looked well and the credit goes to costumes.
First half and second half of the film runs with similar graph holding the enthusiasm of audiences.
Dialogues by Abburi Ravi worked well in many scenes. It’s a film for the goers those wish to watch a lighter tone film and laugh for sometime. Even though for the ones those watch ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, this film confers entertainment for certain. Ileana factor works well for crowd pulling. If publicity adds to it, chances are there for the film to run well as it’s free time for school students. Families can watch the film comfortably.
