Review : Srimanthudu – Meaningful Family Entertainer srimanthudu-review Release date : August 07, 2015 123telugu.com Rating : 3.75/5 Director : Koratala Siva Producer : Y.Naveen, Y.Ravi Shankar Music Director : Devi Sri Prasad Starring : Mahesh Babu, Shruti Haasan Whenever there is a Mahesh Babu film on the cards, the entire industry sits up and takes notice. Srimanthudu is Mahesh’s biggest release till date and has opened all over today. Also starring Shruthi Haasan, Koratala Shiva has directed this family entertainer. Let’s see how it turns out to be. Story:- Harsha(Mahesh Babu) is the son of a rich business man Ravikanth(Jagapathi Babu). He is quite simple in life and shares different ideologies to his father. One fine day, he meets Charusheela (Shruthi Haasan) and gradually falls in love with her. Twist in the tale arises when Charusheela rejects Harsha’s proposal and reveals him a shocking truth about his native place and its problems. An upset Harsha, sets on a mission to his village and there he encounters Sasi(Sampath) and his gang who create these difficulties. Rest of the story is as to how Harsha adopts this village and clears out all its problems. Plus Points:- Let’s start by talking about Srimanthudu’s emotional content. The film is quite heavy on moral values and doing good for the society. Credit should go to Koratla Shiva for sticking to the content and sending out a strong message through the hero’s character. Mahesh is majestic in his role and gives his career best performance. His role is tailor made and Mahesh carries the entire film on his shoulders. He looks dashing as a college student and the way he brings out varied emotions during the second half is a class apart. Shruthi Haasan gets a meaty role and is quite splendid in the film. Her pairing with Mahesh looks quite fresh and brings novelty to the film. Jagapathi Babu is a royal in his role and gives the added edge to the film. The way his character is etched out and his confrontation scenes with Mahesh are superb. First half of the film is quite vibrant and has some very classy moments. Second half has emotional undercurrent and Koratala Shiva manages to bring out superb performances from all his artists. Rajendra Prasad is quite pleasing in his character and plays his part pretty well.Production values of the film are quite good and showcase the proceedings in a rich light. Minus Points:- One of the drawbacks of the film is the pace as the proceedings take their own time. There are certain village scenes in the film which could have been trimmed to make the film crisp. Even though the story is quite novel, it is quite predictable in nature. Rahul Ravindran is also wasted in role. Kousalya is wasted in her role and does not get any screen space. Ali and Vennela Kishore are under utilised and could have been elevated more to generate some entertainment. Climax of the film is hurried up and the proceedings are wrapped up without much fuss. Technical Aspects:- DSP’s music is quite good and grows on you even more once you watch his songs on screen. His background score elevates the film to another level. Dialogues are novel and have been written with a lot of thought and will connect with the common man easily. Screenplay is apt but some scenes in the second half could have been removed to make the film crisp. Coming to the director Koratala Shiva, he has done an awesome job and showcased Mahesh Babu like never before. The way he brings out varied emotions from Mahesh and presents him close to the audience is quite endearing. The way Shiva has handled the film and added some meaningful family moments will go well with everyone. Verdict:- On the whole, Srimanthudu is a stunning emotional family drama which will hit the right chords with one and all. Mahesh Babu’s career best performance and a novel concept are huge assets. Barring the slightly predictable nature of the film, Mahesh’s fans can rejoice as their superstar makes a come back with a vengeance and thoroughly entertains from the word go. Finally, a simple, clean and meaningful family entertainer which is set to rule the box office in the coming weeks. Must Watch. 123telugu.com Rating : 3.75/5 |
