There is a mythological story of dwarf god Lord Vinayaka who impresses his parents with his down to earth nature and love to win the position of 'ganadhipatyam'. Here the title 'Vinayakudu' is apt as the obese hero impresses his beautiful lover and wins her heart.

Story:
Karthik (Krishnudu), the obese guy joins in an ad designing company. Girls tend to keep him away from them due to his odd personality. He finds a girl Kalpana (Sonia) interesting in that company. She too shuns him initially and also cracks lots of jokes on his physical appearance. But the soft hearted Karthik wins the heart of arrogant Kalpana with his immaculate attitude. Finally, the egoistic Kalpana falls in love with Karthik unknowingly. On the other hand, the love track of Sandhya (Poonam) and Altaf (Surya Tej) runs separately. Shalini (Ankitha) is a character that's used as catalyst to elevate the character of Karthik.

Performances:
Krishnudu simply excelled in his role as fat Karthik. His Godavari slang has got its originality and ease. All together his performance itself is under played and aptly fitting. He has justified as a crooked egoistic senior student in 'Happy Days' and here in 'Vinayakudu' he pulled sympathy for his character from the audiences.

Sonia looked normal but her magnetism is known for many. She has a lengthy and meaningful role to play in this film as a girl with huge self respect and personal feelings. Well, she proved that her 'noodle like' hair is her trade mark.

Poonam Kour played a naughty urban girl's role. She looked slim and glamorous. Her role is not that substantial in the film and she cannot be called a second-heroine. She is only a friend of heroine.

Cinematographer PG Vinda (as doctor) and Miss Andhra Poonam Kour's mother (as the mother of Sonia's fiancé) have appeared in guest roles.

Technically the movie got enough boost and there is nothing to point mistake. In a couple of scenes the editing cuts appeared to have jumped. It's a director's movie on a whole where he has rightly handled the departments of dialogues and screenplay as well.

Analysis:
It' a well written, well handled and in one line to say' a well made movie'. The tempo appears to be slow but the screenplay is touching. The 'feel good' appeal is not missed either in first half or second half. Comedy is intertwined with the main story and that breathes a fresh feel.

The characters and characterizations in the movie appeal for youngsters, the content in the movie appeals for all age groups from kids to old lot. Director Sai Kiran Adivi deserves appreciation on a whole, although committed tiny flaw. Viz., the motive of the director is to show that main lead Karthik as obese by hereditary. That's not established fully as it has contradicted with the scenes where he was shown a glutton. Ignoring such logics beside, the film gives a pleasant, hilarious, sentimental and touching experience.

The film appealed well for mass audiences as well for the humorous content glued in the movie.

Story:
It's the story of a fat looking youngster Kartik (Krishnudu) who wins the love of his girl Kalpana (Sonia) with his caring attitude. His spotless behavior and outlook impresses the egoistic girl and falls flat for him. Although the people around him ridicules for his obese look he never gets offended. But at a moment when his girl Kalpana also does the same, he weeps in silence. Finally realization brings tears in the eyes of Kalpana who comes to him seeking love from him. That's how the pair unites and plans to get married. There ends the main theme while there are supporting characters like Sandy (Poonam Kour) and Altaf (Surya Tej) who fall in love and unite.

Presentation:
It's the full-length solo hero role played by Krishnudu after his small role in the super hit block buster 'Happy Days'. He has shown his maturity in performance and easily carried the movie on his onus and made it appealing for class, mass, youth and child audiences. Sonia looked in same way as she looked in Happy Days without even a change in her hair style. Miss Andhra 2005 Poonam Kour has done a fashionable girl's role who never minds to miss the pleasure of youth but staying on right side of the critical line. Cinematography by Vinda, editing by Marthand K Venkatesh and music by Sam deserves mentions as they did above average job. The director of the movie made it a sensible movie with all necessary ingredients those are required to entertain and entice audiences.

Conclusion:

The movie starts with a 'yahoo chat' scene giving a trendy and contemporary appeal. The screenplay and dialogues run on similar lines without missing the contemporary feel any where. But the essence in the movie is universally appealing for all places and times. There is message in this film glued with humor and sentiment. 'Love needs only love but not a beautiful physical appearance', forms the main content all together. If right publicity adds to the film, it would stand at the box office. Word of mouth publicity will carry a positive wave any way.

Bharatstudent Verdict: Watch it this weekend
