Comedy King Allari Naresh’s ‘Sudigaadu’ will be hitting the
screens tomorrow with big expectations. Monal Gajjar is the heroine while
Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao is the director. We have just been to a special
premiere of the movie so let us see how the film is.
Story :
Kamesh (Allari Naresh) and his wife (Hema) become the proud
parents of a dynamic and powerful new baby who is born with a six pack body.
Just when the baby is born, Thikkal Reddy (Jayaprakash Reddy) comes in as the
villain and he becomes a sworn enemy of the baby. To save the baby from Thikkal
Reddy, Kamesh gets his mother (Kovai Sarala) to escape to Hyderabad. The baby
grows up into Shiva (Allari Naresh), a powerful and dynamic young guy with
seemingly invincible powers like a Telugu Cinema hero.
Shiva can make bullets stop, challenge time and even make
Posani Krishna Murali speak intelligently. On a side note, Shiva meets Priya
(Monal Gajjar) over the course of time and falls in love with her. Thikkal
Reddy’s gang members keep hunting for Shiva and he decides to fight back. He
also faces resistance from the mysterious Don D.
How he fights them all and with what powers forms the rest
of the story.
Plus Points :
Allari Naresh is outstanding in the role of Shiva. He uses
his comedy timing to great effect and he keeps the fun factor in the film going
right till the end. This is one of his best performances to date. Monal Gajjar
is ok.
Jayaprakash Reddy, Shayaji Shinde, Krishna Bhagawan and
M.S.Narayana do a good job and they manage to make the viewers laugh.
Brahmanandam is good as Jaffa Reddy. Hema and Kovai Sarala are alright.
Srinivas Reddy entertains in a role that is a satire on the Siddha character
from Khaleja. Fish Venkat and Raghu Babu entertain briefly.
The strength of the film lies in brilliantly conceived
spoofs on all the biggest hits of the industry. The spoofs have been done in a
good natured way without malice and they will be enjoyed by everyone. Two
spoofs stand out for their brilliance – One on TV Anchor Omkar and the other on
the custom of Thigh Slapping (thoda kottadam). The spoof on Omkar in particular
had crowds rolling in their seats with laughter. Posani Krishna Murali adds
great fun to that sequence.
The film moves with good pace most of the time and nice
comedy keeps the viewers entertained. Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao succeeded in
integrating the comedy cleverly into the narrative.
Minus Points :
Climax is a letdown for the movie. Humour quotient and
entertainment factor dip considerably in the one scene that should have been a
highlight. The court episode should have been better conceived. Also, the final
twist in the film did not pan out the way it was intended. Until the climax, I
was having great fun but the poor ending spoiled the experience a little for
me.
Songs are another minus point. Except for the opening song,
none of them are really entertaining. They serve as speedbreakers. Romantic
track between Naresh and Monal Gajjar could have been better.
The second half, especially towards the end, suffers from a
slight dip in pace. Kondavalasa and L.B.Sriram look out of place in their
characters.
Technical Aspects :
Cinematography is decent. Dialogues are brilliant and
deserve special mention. They have been written in a very entertaining fashion.
Sri Vasanth’s music is just about passable. Editing is decent but it could have
been sharper in the second half.
Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao succeeds in making the film entertaining
right till the very end. He should have taken more care with respect to the
climax. Production values are good.
Verdict :
Sudigaadu is a good clean entertainer that will make you
laugh out loud. The spoofs are brilliant and like I said, the one on Omkar is
not to be missed. Allari Naresh proves yet again that he is indeed the Comedy
King. A badly executed climax spoils an otherwise solidly entertaining film.
Still, Sudigaadu is one very enjoyable spoof on TFI and it makes for a good
watch this weekend. Don’t miss it.
