Kalyana Vaibhogame Movie Review
Story:
Shourya (Naga Shourya) and Divya (Malavika Nair) are averse to marriage and they have their own reasons for that. Shourya is a free-spirited lad and Divya is an independent girl who expects her husband not be regressive like her father who ill-treats her mother. When they meet the first time in their ‘Pelli Chopulu’, they reveal their aversion to marriage. They devise a strategy and get married. What happens in their lives later is the rest of the film.
Analysis:
Kalyana Vaibhogame story is not any thing new but Nandini Reddy tried to unearth the sweet and simple moments in the life of a couple. The treatment gives a very good feel to those in love and those who got married recently. Nandini Reddy some how seem to be struggling to come out of the Ala Modhalaindhi hangover. Audience can not miss seeing Nani in Shourya and Nitya Menen in Malavika Nair.
They really performed well but to be honest could not come close to Ala Modhalaindhi pair. More than the lead pair, it is the supporting cast who makes an everlasting impact on us. There are several actors in the film. Even the ones with little roles – Be it Paavala Shyamala, Raj Madiraju or the unexpected cameo by Aashish Vidyarthi, all of them will excelled in the film.
Nandini Reddy definitely has a winner in hand but if she had taken a bit more care on the second half, the film would have gone to the next level. The confusion climax and Thagubothu Ramesh in the climax once again reminds us of Ala Modhalaindhi.
Technical Performances:
Music is a big asset for Ala Modhalaindhi. Rom-Coms like Kalyana Vaibhogame need the support of good music but tracks of Kalyana Vaibhogame are pretty average. The back ground score is decent. Satyanarayana Raju’s cinematography is good. Editing by Junaid Siddiqui is not adequate. A good 10 minutes can be chopped easily from the film. Production Values of Sri Ranjith Movies are Top Notch.
Plus Points :
1. Good Family Emotions
2. Chemistry between Naga Shourya and Malavika Nair
3. Comeback by Raasi
Minus Points:
1. Average Music
2. Resemblances to Ala Modhalaindhi.
Final Say:
Despite resemblances to Ala Modhalaindhi and some discrepancies here and there due to lengthy run time, Nandini Reddy managed to make out a largely good product. She managed to stir the emotions very well since start to the end so that the urbane audience will connect.
