Aadavallu Meeku Johaarlu – Telugu film (My Comments)
The film starts with a bevvy of ladies (50+) in a family desperately looking for alliances for the hero Shravanand and quickly rejecting each proposal for every reason. Now the boy at 35, is so dejected and blames them with due respect till he comes across beautiful Rashmika. A dream-like romance begins and stops.
Suddenly the story is shifted to another couple of disgruntled 50+ ladies with a bad marital past.
Half a dozen wrinkled pumpkins are seen all over the screen hijacking the crux of a romantic story, trying to establish their disbeliefs and disregarding their children’s desires. All men folks in the film are kept as flat as a weigh bridge for trucks.
It was all the more like a tight TV serial. However, the content has been dealt with well.
Dialogues with quotes from Ramayana are always interestingly referred to in Telugu films by and large.
One or two duets were good but aired with good pep that unfortunately takes away the depth of romance. The songs should have the lovers closer together in our hearts. They didn’t.
Shravanand and Rashmika are wasted till they walked into a beautiful sunset.
Yet, with all the things I’ve written here, I liked the film because I saw the film with my wife and daughter.
We could discuss some crazy things about love, marriage, shuffling priorities, honorable kids, 50+ pumpkins their wrinkles and their ruckus.
I was in the elements of my satires and they laughed till they cried. Loved it.
