Review

Story Lav (Tanish) is a kind of guy whose aim in life is to ‘patao’ a girl. Like innumerable teenage boys, he just wants to experience the feeling of having a girl friend. Anu (Madhavi Latha) is a responsible teenage girl who works part-time in a coffee shop. Lav wants to love her, but she is not of that type. In an occasion, he saves Anu’s father. Impressed with him, she asks him to ask for any favor. Lav asks Anu to be his girl friend for 15 days. Anu agrees to it on certain conditions (no physical touch). In the process, the detached Anu falls in love with Lav. And Lav is more excited to flaunt his girl friend to his friends than actually caring for her. The rest of the story is all about how Lav realizes what’s true love is. Artists Performance Tanish is extremely talented. His dialogue delivery and ease in acting make him standout. His debut is one of the most promising debuts in this year. The guy who did the role of hero’s friend is also very natural. The actor who donned the villain role is good. Heroine Madhavi Latha is promising. This film also sports many technicians as actors. Director Kasi Viswanath (Nuvvu Leka Nenu Lenu director) did the role of hero’s father and he is cool. There is lot of comedy timing in him. Art director Narayana Reddy acted as the tonsured boy who is an assistant to villain. Writer Prasad did the role of heroine’s sadistic neighbor who keeps asking heroine’s father to look at positive side in disastrous situations. Director Sarath did another prominent role. Item girl Raksha did a nice role of hero’s mother. Technical departments Story - screenplay - direction: This film deals with the social problem of many teenage boys who just want to have a girl friend for the kick of it. It also touches the burning issue of ‘cell phone videos leakage’. Ravi Babu narrated the entire film from the hero’s point of view by making his narrate from the moment he is born. Ravi Babu has the experience of ad-film making. And he used that ad-film touch to his Allari and Soggadu (only first half). With the freedom given by Ramoji, Ravi Babu gave that touch to the entire film. There is a color pattern (green and bluish) and sophisticated humor angle. He dealt first half of the film very well. However, he could have done the last half an hour of the film (screenplay glitch) in a better way. The following comedy/creative scenes are excellent 1. The entire humor involving the kids. 2. The van episode: The Annapurna mobile van is used excellently to create a series of riotous moments in the film. 3. Hero realizes the focusing aspect by looking at a boy’s focusing on a single fruit. 4. The pick-up lines hero uses to ‘patao’ girls. 5. The use of paint dabbas by family members. 6. The hero’s plight of giving a love note in the song. The following aspects should have been dealt well 1. Crude comedy used for heroine’s father heart-attack. 2. The final episode hero-heroine-villain tussle. Other departments: The music by Sekhar Chandra (son of cinematographer Hari Anumolu) stands out. Pavu Takkuva Tommidi sung by Jassie Gift is extremely peppy and is excellently shot. The ‘black n white’ theme song with black articles fading away is very creative. Other songs also reflect the theme and mood of the film (neither forced duets nor routine songs). Cinematography by Sudhakar Reddy is very good. The art work by Narayana Reddy deserves mention. Dialogues are neat. The entire film is shot at Ramoji Film City (hence you see Margadasi advertisements in backdrop during most part of the film). Ramoji Rao should be commended for allowing Ravi Babu to shoot the entire film the way he wanted to. They stuck to a theme and followed it throughout. Analysis: : The initial half an hour of the film is excellent. First half of the film is good. Second half is adequate. The last half an hour should have been dealt better. The plus points of the film are humor and romance. On the flip side, the last half an hour should have been dealt better. On a whole, Nachavule is worth a watch for being a different flick and a theme film.

Film: Nachchaavule Rating: 3/5 Cast: Tanish, Madhavi Latha, Kasi Vishwanath, Raksha, Narasimha, Naveen, Kamesh etc PRO: Venu Gopal Editing: Marthand K Venkatesh Dialogue: Ravi Babu Action: Kanal Kannan Art: Narayana Reddy Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla Choreography: Nixon Camera: Sudhakar Reddy Music: Sekhar Chandra Screenplay: Satyanand Producer: Ramoji Rao Director: Ravi Babu Released On: 19 Dec 2008 The film 'Nachchaavule' turned heads with posters. Two monkeys and two puppets have promoted the movie from posters and the crowds have turned up in good number. That's a rare promotion stunt and is the film in tune with anticipation. Let us go into details. Story: The story starts with the narration of a young man without his face on screen. Lavkumar (Tanish) wishes to have girl friend since his childhood. His love for girl friends grows big as he grows older. But he finds no right girl. In the process he happens to meet a girl Anu (Madhavi Latha) and some dramatic sequences develops friendship between them. Lavkumar asks Anu to be his girl friend and the latter agrees with some conditions. But the girl herself breaks the conditions and falls into deep love with the boy. How things turn from there. How Lavkumar changes after friendship with Anu? Who is right and who is wrong? How the relation affects them and how that culminates in climax has to be watched on screen. Performances: New actors Tanish and Madhavi Latha did well in their roles. Madhavi Latha has got sharpness in features as well as in performance. She may shine well if given opportunities. Tanish is good and he gave out reasonable performance in first attempt. He acted well in pathos scenes as well. Narasimha as hero's friend got reasonable role in first half. Kasi Vishwanath, who acted as hero's father portrayed a levelheaded role. Raksha was seen in a middle class mother's role. Kamesh is ok in the role of heroine's father. Naveen, the guy who acted as villain is ok. Coming to technical departments and other faculties Bhaskarabhatla's first song 'Pavu thakkuva thommidi…' is enjoyed by masses and youth. Music is reasonable but not outstanding and haunting. Screenplay is rational and appears to have done with attention to detail. Director Ravi Babu gave a balanced film this time. He has been showing his abilities in handing all sorts of genres. Initially he entered with rocking comedy films like 'Allari' and gave a twist with horror flick 'Anasuya' and now a pathos entertainer 'Nachchavule'. Analysis: Ravi Babu made a sincere attempt to bring awareness for youngsters and parents regarding the conditions prevailing in society in the name of 'social moving' and 'boy friend culture'. He has shown his brilliance in narration and sensibility in dialogue writing. First half runs with good pace while second half appears little heavier with sentiment and emotion. But still the second half holds right grip. The climax would have concluded on the hospital stretcher itself. Concluding the movie with a general 'cool climax' without any tragic affect has diluted the purpose to some extent. The impact would have been better had there been some tragic feel at the end for this flick. The negative impact of boy friend- girl friend culture, misuse of cell phone cameras among youth, irresponsible nature of youngsters are aptly taken on to celluloid by the director. He has tried to teach a moral lesson indirectly which is indeed a need for today's society. Within in the narration he has also shown how a husband should love his wife and how a young man should be responsible towards his family as well as the tender feelings of the people those love him. The title, promotion and the content are sensible and in tune with contemporary time.

Story:

A responsible tale, the story begins with the backdrop of a narrative voice who is not shown and he is in fact Lavkumar (Tanish). There is only one wish he has throughout his growing from his pre teens to his younger days. All he wants is a girlfriend but then time passes by and years go by without getting the right kind of female companion. In comes the beautiful girl Anu (Madhavilatha) and with a twist of events, both Lav and Anu get to meet each other. As expected Lav requests Anu to be his friend and the pretty girl agrees. However, she puts in some clauses and conditions for which Lav agrees. The friendship grows but as destiny would have it, things change as Anu finds herself violating the conditions she had set and falling in love with Lav in a big way. Meanwhile, Lav can see the transformation that he is going through with this new relationship and what happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come out with a simple concept but then he has done justice with a fairly reasonable narration and an equally competent presentation. The dialogues were thoughtful, the script was written okay and the screenplay was to the detail though not remarkable. The music was not extraordinary but it had its own moments, two songs are worth taking home. Editing could have been sharper but overall it was fine. Tanish has come up with a fairly decent performance given his first attempt but then he needs to be careful about his expressions at the right time of emotional scenes. Madhavi was beautiful and had a pleasing face, even her performance was good enough and she has shown that there is potential inside her if she gets the right director and banner in the future. Raksha was a surprise as the middle class woman while Kamesh and Kasi Vishwanath carried out their roles with the required elegance. Narasimha was alright and did his best to manage few lighter moments. Naveen could have been better.

Conclusion:

In the wake of the sugary teen entertainers that come in the name of love, this is relatively a far better and more meaningful cinema to the current generation. The message was put across in a subtle way and given the awareness and the maturity of today's youngsters, they should be able to realize what the film maker was trying to convey. That is one very good part of the film. While the first half was more entertaining and took off very quickly, the second half got slowed down due to the sentiment aspect and emotion and the climax takes to the edge of the cliff but leaves the audience right there without any hard feelings. The film can surely do better with some word of mouth but such movies are a need to the current trends.

Bharatstudent Verdict : Simple yet sensible, can be watched.
