Trailer: Venky+Sreenu Vytla – one of the best combinations which has ample scope for giving the best entertainer, as Venky is known for his comedy timing & emotions and Sreenu Vytla’s strength is comedy/entertainment in all his films so far. These two joined their hands for the first time, where as this is Trisha’s second film with Venky after AMAV & with Sreenu Vytla after King.
Title: Interesting, Catchy & Good but not properly utilized, also the Caption/Tagline.
My Title: Pichhi Yenkanna Caption/Tagline: A foolish love story of an innocent fool.
My Justification for my title: {Venky's character name is "Venkata Ramana" in this movie & many call him "venkanna/yenkanna" also.}. In the poster publicity Sreenu Vytla said, “She (Trisha) is Hot, He (Venky) is Cool, Madhyalo Fool (Bemmi)” But in Movie “Venky’s character is a FOOL till the Climax but not Bemmi”. Also Trisha is not Hot anywhere & Venky is not Cool throughout the film.
Story: (Gopi Mohan): Too wafer thin, with so many loopholes and similarities from many other movies like AMAV, Ready, Maleswari.
Screenplay: (Sreenu Vytla): Stories like this need good, tight and interesting/fresh screenplay which is totally missing in this film.
Direction: (Sreenu Vytla): Is strictly average to below average. I consider this as one of Sreenu’s bad works.
Dialogues: (Chinthapally Ramana): Weak on the whole, except for very few comedy punches, hardly in single digit.
Songs: Lyrics: (Ramajogaiah Sastry)are good in parts. “Nee Kallalo” & “Non Stop” are good on repeated listening. Picturization is not impressive, with no sync between lead-to-song, location/set, costumes & choreography.
Music: (Devi Sri Prasad): Rehash of all his old works, with average quality. BGM made no good impact to the video on screen.
Cinematography: (Prasad Murella): Is passable, captured some nice exotic locations in songs, but work for action sequences is not satisfactory.
Editing: (M.R.Verma): Not satisfactory. Felt, some odd/uneven cuts in between scenes. Irritating in a song & action sequences.
Choreography: (Missed in Titles/Don’t remember): Not impressive. It is strongly helping for creating an impression “may be venky lost energy for dance movements, that is why they have selected this kind of stand-walk choreography”
Action/Fights: (Vijay): Not good, illogical, & silly with substandard graphics.
Art: (A.S.Prakash): Is OK.
Production Values: (Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta & Anil Sunkara) are OK to Good, but should have taken good care of graphics involved.
Performances:
Venky: He did this kind of character “n” no.of.times, there is nothing new/fresh. He does his job well as the character designed is a cakewalk for him. But sad part is he is been totally misused/underutilized by Director. His characterization is silly at times & sick other times. He needs to take good care of his costumes & also looks, managed in songs using big glasses/specs for 80-90%.
Trisha: She has nothing to do much, except to speak little words here & there and shake legs in songs without any good backup from the characterization. Also she is not so good in makeup/costumes used.
Brahmanandam: Is wasted badly/maximum, he is been properly utilized in hardly few scenes.
M.S.Narayana: Provided good laughs in a blink & miss role.
Dharmavarapu Subramaniam, Mukesh Rushi, Jaya Prakash Reddy are Routine. Ali, Raghu Babu, Sreenivas Reddy, Master Bharath, Subba Raju got totally wasted. Chandra Mohan, Kota, Telangana Shakunthala, Jeeva, Dilli Rajeswari, Akash, Kasi Viswanath has nothing to do / worth mentioning.
Publicity: Is huge, but not in a right manner, relating to the actual theme/content of the film. [About “Fool” in posters]
USP: Image/combination of Venky & Sreenu Vytla involved with Bemmi, till you enter the hall, after that ??? [one has to search for it]
+ Points:
Venky & Bemmi [Just Presence though no freshness in characterization]
Some laughs here & there.
--Points:
(Many to mention)
No Good Story
No fresh/gripping/interesting screenplay.
Unimpressive / improper characterizations.
Average Picturization of Average Songs.
Not so appealing Action sequences.
No proper emotional quotient.
Weak romantic thread.
Public Talk: Mixed Reaction. Family Audience chudagaluguthunnaru.
My Feel: I tried to enjoy the movie with my utmost sincere efforts, but Sreenu Vytla did not give me any good chance, except for 2-3laughs here & there. A badly made film, not expected this kind of kichidi at least in the combination of Venky & Sreenu Vytla.
