PARUGU REVIEW


Story:

Rich&Powerful man in a village,Neelakantam(Prakash Raj)'s elder daughter(Poonam Bajwa) elopes with her boyfriend just before the muhurat of her marriage.Shocked
Neelakantam's family catch all the friends of her boyfriend to find the where abouts of the eloped couple.Krishna(Allu Arjun)is one among them.At first sight,He falls in love
with Neelakantam's younger daughter Meena(Sheela)without knowing any details about her.She is an innocent&timid girl who was blamed by all for her sister's mistake.But
Neelakantam is very careful now as he don't want it to happen again with his younger daughter.Who succeed - Krishna or Neelakantam ? forms the rest of the story.

Highlights:
Bhaskar who delivered a memorable movie Bommarillu with an iconic character Hasini comes this time with another sensitive issue but didn't succeed much.The movie is
based on ever burning topic of love marriages against parents wishes and the communication gap between the parents&children.Director Bhaskar tried to show the issue
from both the perspectives.
Allu Arjun once again done his brand of character,a happy go lucky guy.he performed well and his new hairdo is neat.
Music by Mani Sarma is just above average.A couple of songs standsout.
Vijay K.Chakravarthy's cinematography is very good.His lighting techniques are impressive.
Dialogue writer BVS Ravi did a commendable job.Dialogues are good in the first half and parts of second half.
Hero's friends gang Sunil&co's comedy is good.
First half is Good.

Sidelights:
Second half lacks proper direction.Except couple of scenes,it is boring,predictable&often confusing .
The story point is good but the plot woven around it cannot impress majority of the audience.Though the plot isn't that convincing in the first half , the writer&director duo
succeded in presenting it in an interesting manner with neat characterizations&impressive dialogues.But they failed to do so in the second half.
It may be a coincidence or whatever but one can draw similarities between the movie & a recent issue in the Mega Family.The movie shows the pain of a father,a
daughter who hurts&insults her father and of course,satires on recent trend of Arya Samaj marriages.
Heroine is another minus.
The movie runtime is almost 2hrs 50mins

FANS TALK:
SUPER HIT
INDUSTRY TALK:
GOOD AND NEAT FILM TOTElUGU INDUSTRY
pUBLIC TALK:
1st HALf OK but BAD 2nd HALF AVERAGE FILM.
