Struggling hero Prince trying to get that much needed success has now teamed up with Mahat Raghavendra who is also in the same boat. Let us see if they are successful this time.
Story
Bunny (Prince) and Cherry (Mahat) are two young men with opposite natures. Bunny is more focused on his career and has a goal to achieve. Cherry is a very casual type of guy with smart brains but no discipline. Their lives take a turn due to an accident and their memories are shifted into one another through a surgery. What are the challenges they face due to this transfer and whether they get back to their original places or not forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Prince is handsome with decent charm but he needs to bring in energy in body. Most of his acts are like he is half-asleep or just woke up from it. He has to show that alertness and not be mild.
Mahat Raghavendra has got that naughty look on his face. He has just started as a lead actor but he needs to choose right scripts from now or otherwise his career gets aborted soon. His voice is an asset.
Kruthi is beautiful and she is the only thing to watch for in this film. If she can plan her next set of movies carefully there is a good chance that she can grow well in Tollywood.
Saba overacted and showed unwanted enthusiasm. She looks cute but needs to cut down her weight and get in shape if she is serious about making a career.
Brahmanandam was wasted, same is the case with Posani. L B Sriram was brief but good. It is sad to see Junior SVR doing such a clownish role. Chandramohan was casual. Not sure why Sita agreed for this film. Others came and went.
Highlights:
- Nil
Drawbacks:
- Full
Analysis:
The birth of a film story comes from an idea and if that idea has a concept then it is converted into a script and developed. However, care must be taken to realize that not all concepts become good ideas when they get onscreen. This is the biggest blunder the director has made and the trauma of that ‘creativity’ is borne by the innocent ticket buyers.
Right from the dialogues to the logic of the film and screenplay, there is nothing but flaws. The very premise of the plot runs on memory transplant between the heroes. And then comes another concept called generating power through speed breakers on the road. All this reminds us of the science fairs which happen in town and how school students come up with their experiments. So, how many speed breakers should be built to get this power?
The basic logic is literally ‘mindblowing’(!). It is not sure how the producers wanted to make a film with this script. They created a hype that it might be similar to 'Yevadu' and audience got connected. Even the title also was quite catchy given the names mentioned. With the gossip that stories are similar, many expected something but it turned out to be the worst made documentaries with cheap imagination.
Having fiction is alright but there must be some believability to that fiction also but this one breaks all barriers and takes you somewhere. Within the first few minutes after the film begins, the audience is seen staring blankly at the screen or the person next to them questionably. After completion of few scenes, the reality strikes them on how they have been made Bakras in theatres.
The interval bang was a relief. Second half also the same thing continues so it was only a matter of time when people started staring at the exit door.
Overall, this is a film which shows how some ‘creative brains’ tend to put the best test to the viewers.
Bottomline: Better use the ticket money to buy Buns and Cherries
