Romeo

My review : Romeo

“Romoe” starring Ganesh , written &  directed by P.C.Sekhar is a throwback to the misogynistic movies of the 80’s & 90’s. With its ridiculous plot line which actually portrays a “misogynistic” bigot as its protagonist movie does a lot of disservice to the society as a whole.

Take a look at the ridiculous plot of this movie. The protagonist is a slum dwelling graduate who falls in love with his office manager. He manages to woo her by telling loads of lies that he is a well to do rich guy & when she gets to know it he physically abuses her. She rightly moves out of his home & gets divorce. After a few months, when they again meet he tries to ignore her which rekindles in her love for him.....sigh..!!!!

When movie portraying intelligent & strong female characters have started coming & successfully at that , this movie portrays a heroine who is dumb to say the least. Which sane woman in this current age would be taken for such a royal ride as it is portrayed in this movie?  By trying to hide behind in the name of comedy would not be forgiven in the longer run. It is time to move on & writers to begin thinking wisely & neutrally.

Inspite of the ridiculousness of the plot , the actors have put in their sincere efforts. Ganesh is good back to his comical timing . He has a ball with other veterans Rangayana Raghu & Sadhu Koklia. Raghu is brilliant as ever with his immaculate dialogue delivery & timing sense. Sadhu Kokila brings down the roof with his comic act. Bhavana is gorgeous & has performed well too in a banal role. Avinash is in a caricaturised role.

In Arjun Janya’s music “Alochane ” is a brilliant melody while “Everybody rock ” & ”By 2 bedsheetalli” are nice foot-tapping numbers.

Vaidhi is the cinematographer & technically the movie is good.

P.C.Sekhar has tried to make a romantic-comedy-cum-family-drama & has succeeded in his attempt too. Only that he could have tried to stick on to a decent contemporary plot.

On the whole, “Romeo” is for those who enjoy chauvinistic plot & mindless laughter.

Bottomline: Few laughs at the cost of your conscience

2.5/5
