Romance Review: Story

Krishna [Prince ] a happy go lucky guy is in search of a perfect girl (a virgin). So he decides to go after two girls and test them according to his PERFECT GIRL theory. In this process he flirts with his college mate Lalitha [ Manasa] , but she fails his test. Now, he shifts his focus on to Anuradha [Dimple Chopra] and instantly falls for her. Now, he tries to test Anu but things go awry and it leaves negative impact on Prince. Krishna undergoes a lot of struggle to impress Anuradha. Will Anuradha accept Krishna’s proposal ? Did he proves his innocence? How Krishna tackles Manasa has to be seen on silver screen.

Romance Review: StarPerformances

‘Neeku Naaku Dash Dash’ fame Prince looks confident as Krishna, but the weak script confines him from showing his talent. Dimple Chopra has proved that her choice was not wrong for the role offered to her. Manasa as Lalitha is totally wasted, director failed to capture her screen presence. Sai as Bluetooth Bobby is also good in his role. Hostel girls characters were elevated but not executed properly.

Romance Review: Direction, Music & Technical Aspects

Direction by Darling Swamy failed to narrate the film in a promising way. He could not get the scenes laced in a precise manner. The contrived screenplay hampers the narration. The backdrop for the story is very routine. The story has good commercial point and dalogues in movie are very ordinary. Music by Sai Karthik is in sync at two situations, with Romance title song on Prince. Photography is neat and the skillful camera work has captured the close ups and outdoor scenes well. Editing of the film would have been crisp. The graphics work and grading were not handled well. Production values of Good Cinema Group are good.

Romance Review: Analysis

Darling Swamy’s concept was not bad but the makers have failed miserably in giving it a good treatment and making it entertaining or watchable. Actually, there are many flaws in the film, related to unsuitable sequencing of the happenings. But, the timely boothu dialogues match well with the humour, at appropriate places. The actor’s struggle to impress Anu was not been shown in convincing manner. Prince neither struggles nor plays any smart move to become a star.

The first half of Romance, produced by SKN’s Good Cinema Group, is very slow and boring. The second half though had scope for some interesting scenes is all wasted due to weak script and direction. Coming to the screenplay, the film takes too much time for the set-up and comes to the point at the interval, thus making the first half tedious. I was not alone to make this observation as, a few minutes before the intermission, a patron beside me asked me whether it’s a movie or a TV serial.

The film’s technical side is second grade be it locations, or cinematography, or music by Sai Karthik, or editing. Darling Swamy strength is dialogues and these are his best in Roamnce, “Round up chesi roses evvakundi ra confusion lo andariki okay chepestha”, “Romance cheyadaniki ammayi, Pranam theyadaniki gun unte prapancham gelicheyochu”.

Premaktha Chitram movie review

Rating:3.5/5

Movie : Prema Katha Chitram
Star Cast : Sudheer Babu, Nanditha, Hansika Motwani…
Director : J. Prabhakar Reddy
Producer : Maruthi Sudarshan Reddy
Genre : Romance – Drama
Music : J.B
Sudheer Babu, brother in law of Superstar Mahesh Babu, is trying his luck with ‘Prema Katha Chitram’. This is his second film and it has released across the world today. The movie’s script has been penned by Maruthi and he has also ‘supervised’ the direction of the film. Nandhita is the heroine of the movie. Let us see how this movie is

Story :

Sudheer (Sudheer Babu), Praveen (Praveen) and Nandhu (Nandhita) are three dejected and depressed youngsters. They are fed up with their lives and decide to commit suicide. The three of them travel to a remote farmhouse to spend the last moments of their life. On the way, they are joined by Giri (Giri).

As they settle down into the farmhouse and prepare themselves for their last moments. As you can expect, love blossoms between Sudher and Nandhu. But when they try to get close to each other, strange things start happening.

Sudheer and his friends realise that the farmhouse contains a dark secret. The place has a violent past. While investigating these incidents, Sudheer also realises that some of his friends have other motives.

What is the dark secret of that farmhouse? What happens to Sudheer and friends in the end? That is the story of ‘Prema Katha Chitram’.

Plus Points :

Sudheer Babu has done a very good job in this movie. He has succeeded in showcasing the emotions of fear and surprise effectively. There is a short dance sequence in the film, which gives us an idea about his dancing abilities.

Nandhita is the real star of the film. She is simply brilliant. There are certain sequences where she is required to exhibit dramatic changes in behaviour and she has excelled in those scenes. She also looks quite cute and vulnerable where required.

Pravin succeeds in making viewers laugh with his Godavari slang. Giri is simply brilliant in two sequences, where he interacts with the ‘supernatural force’. The ‘Draupadi Vastrapaharanam’ sequence has been shot hilariously.

The entertainment quotient in the film is very high. There is an intelligent mix of humour, horror and romance in the film and viewers will connect to all three emotions well. The film’s biggest USP is the hilarious and racy second half.

There are a few trademark double meaning dialogues from Maruthi, but they are limited and don’t give a vulagar feel. Re-recording is a big asset for the movie. Sound and camera angles have been used effectively.

Minus Points :

The movie starts off slowly and stumbles for the first 20 – 30 minutes. There are some needless sequences, like the MLA slapping scene etc. These scenes are quite irritating and should have been chopped off.

The climax fight could have been avoided as it really does not add much to the storyline. One gets the feeling that it was placed there on purpose, to prove that Sudheer can fight. Some cinematic liberties have also been taken.

Technical Aspects :

Cinematography of the film is good. For a horror/thriller film to work, sound and camera angles are crucial. Both departments have been handled well in PKC. Editing is neat. JB’s background score is good. Sound mixing is very effective.

Prabhakar Reddy might have been the director, but Maruthi’s stamp is very obvious. This movie will succeed in giving an image makeover to Maruthi.

Verdict :

Humour, Horror and Romance are base human emotions. When they are handled effectively, viewers will connect strongly to a story. The same is the case with ‘Prema Katha Chitram’. The entertaining and thrilling second half will make you happy. Don’t miss this flick

Genre : Romance 

Theatre watched : Pratap 70MM

Pre release Expectations :

Madhura Sreedhar is a potential director and his previous ventures(Sneha Geetham,It's my love story) ran successfully.So there are few expectations from Back bench student movie.Ever since Simbhu lended his voice for a song remix, expectations reached to a new level...!!!

Did it reach the expectations ???

My Review :-
Madhura Sreedhar faltered in standing up to its main theme and finally messed it up to make a routine triangular love story...Pretty routine stuff on regular story line...!!!

Highlights:-
Mahat Raghavendra did a decent job on his debut.
Music by Sunil Kashyap is Ok.

Disappointments:-
Boring and routine story.
Madhura Sreedhar started of well but as the film progresses he made it look usual and boring.
Pia Bajpai and Archana kavi doesn't make any impact.
Lack of comedy sequences.
Brahmanandam is wasted in the movie.
Could have worked more on post production.No proper lip sync for Archana's character.
Dragged second half.

Engaging moments:-
"Jagada jagada" song is shot well.

Departments	Rating(Out of 5)
