A mediocre fare Film review

Raja and Sneha in Nee sukhame...

Film:Nee sukhame ne korukunna

Cast: Raja, Sneha

Direction: Giri Babu

All those who have watched this Friday release would want to know if Giri Babu made this film for himself or for the audiences. This yarn of a crappy film seems to be stuck in 1970s where misty eyed onscreen Telugu goddesses reeled off lengthy emotional and clichéd dialogues while their stone-hearted brothers slapped them and made them feel apologetic for falling in love.

The prime characters in the story look old enough to be parents but they go to a college, fall in and out of love due to misunderstandings and then there is a finale that makes one wonder if the title of the film has been gifted by a genious. The film has nothing to offer and even if it had, it takes a long time to move ahead. Sneha wears a dumb expression throughout and Raja handpicks another bad role erasing Mr Medhavi from his portfolio.

One glaring inadequacy of this film is the bad acting. A reasonable budget and some name actors don’t help the performances in this film.

In this case, one can’t really blame the actors themselves. They are left on their own to struggle with a bad script.

The dialogues too are stuck in time and have no life and make no sense. Sneha is a crorepati’s daughter and she insists on going by bus to the college, but strangely she doesn’t mind throwing a huge birthday party with dandia and sitar as fusion entertainment. Kota and Annapurna behave like servants rather than parents to Raghu Babu and Sneha and in fact all the character artistes or the director’s ex-colleagues have a field day sprinkling experience on the sloppy story. Raghu Babu’s crazy outburst tires you and Brahmanandam as a fake chess champion dishes out a mediocre performance.

He, however, has the best lines and he makes you a bit more alert whenever he is on screen. Little wonder his picture gets a prime place on the posters. Dim-spirited, tunnel-visioned , slip shod quality..overall the film has little to justify viewing.
