Courier Boy Kalyan Movie Review
Nithin’s Courier Boy Kalyan was launched few years ago but didn’t release all these days as the producers ran into financial troubles. The film is finally out in theaters now.
Story :
Kalyan (Nithin) reluctantly agrees to do the job of a courier boy to help his friend. He meets sales girl Kavya (Yami) with whom he falls in love at the first sight. Kalyan continues to do the job to impress Kavya. A courier is sent to activist Satya Murthy (Nasser) about a high level conspiracy planned by few doctors (Asutosh Rana, Ravi Prakash and others). That courier lands in Kalyan’s hands. He should see that the truth is out against all the odds.
Performances:
Nithin is apt in the role of Kalyan. He is extremely good in the scenes where he tries to woo Yami Gautham. He is competent in the action scenes too. However there is little he could do about the half baked script. Yami Gautham is as gorgeous as ever. She has no role to play in the main story. Asutosh Rana is alright and Nasser too is fine. Rajesh and Harshavardhan are good in the supporting roles.
Technicalities:
Sai Prem has come up with a different plot but couldn’t make it into an interesting feature film. Direction is good only in parts. Sai Prem should have concentrated on writing a tight screenplay instead of wasting time on the sub tracks that don’t help the main plot in any way.
Songs are okay. Karthik and Anup have given some good tunes but the film doesn’t have space for songs. Background score is good. Cinematography is alright. Editing is neat. The film’s runtime is just over hundred minutes. Editor did a good job to keep things short and tight.
Plus Points:
- Short length
- Nithin
- Songs
Minus Points:
- Lack of depth in story
- No strong conflict
Final Say:
Courier Boy Kalyan is a good attempt in terms of a novel point but the entire essence of the film is lost by inducing unnecessary commercial elements which actually killed the movie experience. The most liberal assessment of the film can be a just okay watch.
