StarPerformances
Sumanth Ashwin had aptly limned his role in the manner in which it
had to be. He shines well as a comic person in the first half of the
film, while the second half of the film brings out the true lover hidden
inside him, which he enacts conveniently. Eesha is extremely lovely to
look at, having a gentle grace of vintage actresses. Rao Ramesh, plays
his part brilliantly rendering positive shades. The depth of his strong
voice adds a special layer to his character. The ace actor Rohini
greatly portrays her character. Avasarala Srinivas well portrayed the
punching friend of Sumanth Ashwin. Ravi Babu is fine in his
role.Madhubala hasn’t lost her charm she is good in her role.
Direction, Music & Technical Aspects
After cashing praises in earlier flicks like Asta Chamma and GHS this
directorial venture of Mohan Krishna Indraganti seems like a concoction
of few romantic flicks in Tollywood. The event of wedding, love
blossoming during the wedding and both living together to test
compatibility are like deja-vu factors observed earlier in loads of
movies. Direction by Mohan Krishna Indraganti is good, the way he shot
romantic scenes and climax shows his mark. Screenplay is fine. Narration
is skilful in the first half, but drags a bit in the second half.
The
music composed by Kalyani Koduri adds a great outline to the entire
story and stands as a strong contribution in the story. The track that
catches one's attention throughout the film is Gamathugunde. Apart from
being melodious, it keeps on going on in the movie as background music.
Sirivennla Seetharama Shastry and Ananth Sriram have penned lyrics are
meaningful. Cinematography by P.G. Vinda deserves a special mention.
Locations, Scenes, Songs are neatly shot by Vinda. Editing of the film
could have been crispier. Production values from Sri Ranjith Movies are
good.
Analysis
Anthaku Mundu Aa Tharuvatha certainly follows on the same old
formula, but even then it is a enjoyable ride. It could have been more
attractive, if it was at least twenty minutes less in its length.
Anthaku Mundu Aa Tharuvatha is one film which offers different type of
entertainment to the audience in the days of commercial entertainers.
Camera work is good too but background music is exceptionally brilliant.
The title of the film is apt—it’s a delicious mix of love, humour and
romance— all folded in a quit love story. Go grab it!!
Bottom Line : Watch it for the Clean Love story, newbie Eesha and obviously for the soulful music.
