The film has a blend of emotion, sentiment, love and family
drama. Venkatesh came out with this soft role after a long
time.
Ganesh (Venkatesh) is
the guy who turns 30 plus but couldn’t find any
job. Many of his friends settle down in their lives
and his father (Kota Sreenivasa Rao) reminds him of
his responsibility with many a non verbal. Once he also
breaks out with grief for the non-settlement of his
motherless son. After many trials for about a decade,
he finds a job in Software Company. Keerthi (Trisha)
happens to be his trainer. Ganesh falls in her love.
But when he expresses his love for her she negates and
says that she is getting married the subsequent month.
Ganesh gets into grief. Later Ganesh discovers that
the guy who is marrying Keerthi is his friend. His friend
asks him to come along with him to the village and stay
with his till the marriage. The drama from then reminds
us of many past films. Finally, the emotions are understood
and the film comes to a happy end.
Venkatesh
is good in his role. He kept his image aside and acted as
a real artiste. He also agreed to act in some nasty scenes
as director’s artiste.
Trisha looked really good.
She suited perfectly beside Venkatesh. She performed with
sheer professionalism in a few scenes and her expression
to Venkatesh in sari shop after wearing green sari is marvelous.
Sree Ram did well in his
role and his role required some performance in the last
part of second half only.
Kota Sreenivasa Rao has
some notable character role to play. He acted with enough
of melo drama in first half of the film.
Colors Swathi appeared on
screen after a long time after Krishna Vamshi’s ‘Danger’.
She is still looking cute and young like before. She tickled
with some comedy with her nuances as a hot-teenager.
Other characters are for
namesake.
Dialogues are not so gripping.
Direction is ok but sounds obsolete. Music also resembles
7G Brindavan Colony.
Minus Points:
Venkatesh utters a dialogue saying, ‘Moham Meedha
Acid Posthaa’. That wouldn’t sound appropriate
and censor board must have taken care in cutting that. There
are many among masses those would inspire with the word
of their hero.
When the film is coming
with the combination of Trisha and Venkatesh with the title
‘Adavari Matalaku Ardhaley Veruley’, people
expect something on the lines of Trivikram-Vijayabhaskar
stuff. But here the director Sree Raghava is a master in
establishing pathos and broken love on screen. Yuvan Shankara
Raja added wind to the director. But at the same time, comedy
is grooved in the film without separate tracks but as a
part and parcel of the film.
First half of the film runs with slow narration
but Venkatesh’s comedy works well. Many of the scenes
were elongated. About 25 minutes of the film can cut down.
Director and producers should consider grooming it. Second
half runs with country side comedy and serious pathos mixed
with sentiment.
The film appears to be a cluster of all
old films. Climax appears to be as expected. Only the class
audiences may turn well for this film but the masses may
not relish it well.
