Recently Sumanth Ashwin had a hit in the form of "Kerintha". Although he is yet to make an impression as a hero, he is progressing steadily.
"Right Right" has come to the theatres without many expectations. So does it spring any surprise? Let's see.
Story:
Ravi (Sumantha Ashwin) dreams to become a cop but ends up as a bus conductor. He develops a bond with his bus driver Seshu (Kalakeya Prabhakar). Their bus route is to a village called Gaviti in Srikakulam district. Ravi makes friendship with all the villagers there including the village sarpanch.
One day, when Seshu drinks too much, Ravi takes the driver’s seat. After some time, the bus meets with an accident and kills the son of the village sarpanch. Was it an accident or a pre-planned murder?
Artistes' Performances:
Sumanth Ashwin in the role of a bus conductor is totally misfit. The role doesn’t suit him, nor has he tried to sink into that role.
Heroine Pooja Jhaveri has neither glamour appeal nor acting skills. Prabhakar who impressed as Kalakeya in “Baahubali” is wasted in this movie. Nasser is okay. Among the cast, Pavani Reddy has done better job. The comedians have failed to evoke laughs.
Technical Excellence:
The movie has decent technical values. The rural ambiance is colorful due to the good camera work by Sekhar V Joseph. The production values are good enough. Music by JB is average though two songs sound mellifluous. Editing is completely bad.
Highlights:
Cinematography
Couple of songs
Drawbacks:
Old style of narration
Slow pace
Bad choice of heroine
No comedy
Analysis:
The film is remake of a Malayalam movie called “Ordinary”. Like the title, the Malayalam’s storyline is pretty ordinary. Telugu audiences have seen such set up and drama in many movies where hero gets misunderstood by everyone but he is actually good guy and did no wrong. This simple storyline is told by director Manu in a rather dull manner.
Many of the scenes seem just frame to frame copy of the original Malayalam movie as the comedy punches, scenes seem to be straight out from Kerala culture.
Though it is a thriller, there is hardly any suspense element as anybody can easily guess who the culprit is. Wafer thin story is stretched beyond a point with slow narration.
Lack of entertainment, no interesting element, not a good suspense point are the main problems of the movie. Generally these kinds of movies offer some relief from comedy track or romantic portions. But “Right Right” fails on that front.
The good cinematography and two songs from music composer JB are the only appreciable points.
All in all, “Right Right” never gets it right. Complete boredom is what it offers. The film proves that Sumanth Ashwin should stick to youthful movies like “Kerintha”.
Bottom-line: 'Ordinary' Remake is Ordinary
