Pandaga Chesko Review
Story:
Karthik is a Multi-Millionaire Businessman settled abroad. A Public Interest Litigation on one of his factories in Hyderabad brings him there all of sudden. He meet Divya (Rakul Preet Singh) and falls in love at the first sight. However the sudden twist in the film is it is Divya who is the reason for the legal issues of his factory. What happens next in their life is the rest of the film.
Performances:
This is one character which is tailor made for Ram as a happy go lucky lad. He just needs to be hyper active on screen as he always do. However there is one scene in the film which challenges the actor in him. but he failed to impress there. Usually a very good dancer, but he is a completed disappointment in this film in the dance department.
Rakul Preet Singh has amazing screen presence with gorgeous looks. Sonal Chauhan adds to the glamour quotient. Her character started on a promising note but ended quite silly. Brahmanandham rocked the show in his episodes. Sampath, Vennela Kishore, Tejaswi, MS Narayana, Sai Kumar, Rao Ramesh and others are okay in their roles.
Technical Performances:
Gopichand Malineni is always known to attempt beaten to death formula films. He does that once more with Pandaga Chesko. The ‘in-house comedy’ we see there, exists in Telugu industry since ages. Kona Venkat as usually came up with same kichidi work. The punch dialogues are totally boring. However the covered it up with good entertainment all along.
Thaman had delivered a very bad music album. Couple of songs are shot well in good locales. The back ground score is okay in parts. The Back ground score is just okay. The camera work is good while editing should have been better. All the stunts looked overboard and the dialogues are too forced for the punches.
Plus:
- Comedy especially Chinnodu Peddodu track
- Performances
- Glamour
Minus:
- Routine template story.
- Screenplay that outdoes story.
Final Word:
Its high time Kona Venkat discovers a new winning formula. They have used the ‘in-house comedy’ very well in Ready several years ago. The wonderful film is twisted, tangled and rubbished several times to produce various ‘commercial entertainers’ which have nothing novel. If you are an entertainment freak and would ignore every thing for some laughter therapy, give it a try!
