TwitterĪlthough the story, written by Shaurya, is not exactly inspired from the same incident, the emotional undercurrent throughout the film, where family members panicking over the disappearance of young women, and people looking for answers when there are none, captures the fears and anger quite well.ĭirected by Ramana Teja, Aswathama is an engaging action thriller, which will keep you on the edge of your seat. After a longtime, audience got a clean family entertainer.Naga Shaurya in a promotional still of Aswathama. It makes for a decent watch for both families and youth. Overall, ‘Varudu Kavalenu’ has its moments. Sapthagiri’s ‘lag’ fun has the audience in splits. The comedy gives relief to viewers and make us forget all the aforementioned flaws. The emotional climax works in favour of the film. The second half is slow and flat, barring last 30 minutes which stands out aa highlight in the movie. These need special attention in writing and making. She gives it up learning that Akash had his focus on career and no time for love. They try to justify what made Bhumi become so tough, but did just one break-up make her so? Even it wasn’t a proper break-up since Bhumi didn’t express her love. The college scenes are really tad boring. And hence she starts the film with the flashback episode. By the interval, it is clear where the film is heading to.Īs the film’s second half kicks in, the director seems to have run out of the steam. The conversations of the actors are interesting and take the story forward. The first part of the film is balanced with comedy, songs, and fights in right proportions. But the cause of the couple’s separation – not just once, but twice – is not convincing enough. It is a simple tale of a guy and girl who gets separated and gets reunited. ‘Varudu Kavalenu’ is a run-of-the-mill story which is treated and fashioned in a better way. SS Thaman’s folk number Digu Digu Naga appeals to masses. Vishal Chandrasekhar’s music and background score compliments visuals. Cinematographer Vamsi Patchipulusu is the unsung hero as the every-frame looks bright, colourful. There are several catchy one-liners in the film which audiences take back home.

The first half of the film is breezy, decent. ‘Varudu Kavalenu’ is a very old tale but with interesting characterisations. All the cast have got good characterisations. Jayaprakash is good as MD of Bhumi’s start-up and her well-wisher. Comedian Satya is confined to a blink-and-miss cameo. Comedian Praveen suits well as the hero’s friend. Sapthagiri’s ‘lag’ comedy fireworks create magic though. Vennela Kishore goes missing in the latter half. It is one of the best characters she played in her career till date. Rarely, heroines do get a substantial role. He does a neat job in interval and climax portions, particularly in emotional scenes. He is handsome and looks dapper on screen. How are Bhumi and Aakash connected? What’s their flashback? Did they unite finally?Īkash is a tailor-made role for Naga Shaurya who pulled off the character effortlessly. Aakash (Naga Shaurya) is a renowned architect in Dubai who gives up a Rs 200 Crore deal and comes to Hyderabad. Her mother (Nadhiya) wants her to get married and settle. Bhumi (Ritu Varma) is a bossy lady who runs a start-up company.
