Bhanumathi Ramakrishna is one of the few names that Telugu Film Industry can never forget. This film is not about her but Bhanumathi and Ramakrishna characters designed by director, Srikanth. The movie is available on AHA.
Story: Bhanumathi (Salony Luthra) is in love with Ram (Raja Chembolu) but he falls out of it. He breaks up with her and it starte effecting her daily routine. She stops hitting gym and we can see the result in her body weight. She meets Ramakrishna (Naveen Chandra), from Tenali, as he joins her office as her assistant. He starts to like her and she too likes him. But she resists and he thinks he doesn’t suit her. So, he tries to patch things between Ram and her. What happens next? Watch the movie to know more.
Performances: Salony Luthra is very good as Bhanumathi and she is highly identifiable as a career oriented person as well. She carries off the role without much pretention and that is rare to see in films, these days. For a first film in another language, she confidently faces the challenge.
Naveen Chandra starts off in the film, looking slightly like a caricature but as we go into the film. is a good performer and he puts his heart into the film. All others are good too.
Analysis: Movie doesn’t really try to project itself as the ground-breaking romance. It keeps everything simple and tries to delve into the lives of the characters, that we normally encounter in our day to day life. We don’t find their lives too interesting but they might be going through things that we might want to heed our ear to. If you take this as the parameter for the film, it lands it perfectly. But misses adding a flavour of liveliness at times as the dullness in interactions of the characters dominates the screenplay, at times. Still Srikanth, with the help of performances by the leads keeps the things interesting and it feels like a right OTT movie. Watch it for Naveen Chandra and Salony.
Rating: 2.5/5
