Allari Naresh has arrived once again with yet another entertaining treat but this time it got bigger with the presence of Srihari, let us see how good it is
Story:
Subramaniam aka Subbu (Naresh) is an honest, intelligent, kind and hardworking IT professional. However, one night at a party organized by his boss Balaraju (Brahmi) changes his life.
Next morning, Subbu finds himself in bed with Sanjana (Ritu) and feels that both got intimate in the night. Trouble begins as Sanjana has got three brothers (Srihari, Subbaraju, Samrat) who are powerful and feared a lot, their father J J (Nagineedu) is another kingpin.
Despite all his pleas and requests, Subbu is compelled to get engaged to Sanjana. Did something happen between Subbu and Sanjana that night? Why did Sanjana brothers target Subbu? All this forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Allari Naresh has come up with a matured performance and played up to his role very well. His trademark dialogue timing and soft humor tickles the audiences from time to time. He shouldered the movie till the last to entertain the masses in his own way.
Ritu Barmecha looks cute and her innocent sex appeal makes her attractive. She has to work on her expressions a bit and get that lip sync right if she wants a career in Tollywood.
Srihari shines with his typical Telangana accent and his adjectives and one-liners deliver that punch which will entertain the masses.
Brahmanandam deserves a special mention as his track with Srihari is hilarious. Despite seeing him in eight out of ten movies, he doesn’t bore and has a good sense of comedy timing.
Subbaraju was handsome as usual and was effective, he must be given more opportunities and lengthy roles. Samrat was good looking and showed confidence. Nagineedu was natural and elegant, Ahuti Prasad was brief, Vennela Kishore brought few extra smiles, Anita looks hot and sexy, M S Narayana was regular, Hamsa Nandini was there to fill the screen but no dialogues. The others added to the comedy in their own way.
Highlights:
* Three songs, especially the remix ‘Chinukula raali…’
* Glamour quotient of Ritu, Anita
* Direction
* Comedy track of Srihari- Brahmi
Drawbacks:
* Few scenes were rehashed from other films
* Hiccups in editing
* Lengthy ending
Analysis:
The true mark of a director is known in the way he handles the narrative despite having a story which may not be that appealing. Here, the director has shown his mettle though it is his debut attempt. Agreed he has picked up quite a share from different films like 'Dhee', 'Welcome' and other Bollywood flicks, he has sensibly mixed them with Telugu nativity and covered it up.
There is no link with Jandhyala ‘Ahana Pellenta’ as told by its makers. This new ‘Aha Na Pellanta’ is the film that entertains the masses with punch dialogues by Srihari in Telangana slang and Allari Naresh humor.
Coming up with a breezy screenplay and delivering doses of humor at the right points, the film becomes a smoothie.
However, this is a film that is targeted for the B, C center audience and those who seek pure time pass without much logic or sensibility.
