My review: Veyyi Abaddalu
Movie doesn't boasts of catchy songs which is usually the Teja movie's forte. Ramana Gokula is the music director and his music is routine fare. Technically also the movie is average.
On the whole, "Veyyi Abaddalu" is stale potpourri prepared by a confused team that can be better enjoyed when it is showcased in your satellite channel shortly.
Bottomline: Lack the punch.
2/5
Teja's wait for a hit continues with his latest movie "Veyyi Abaddalu". Touted to be a romantic comedy it is neither romantic nor comical. Teja seems to have lost his focus while writing this movie hence the screenplay meanders aimlessly before crash landing on a predictable and a lame climax. There is absolutely no emotional connect with the lead pair as their roles are written superficially.
Comedy works in parts but as a whole makers are confused as to whether to make it a full length comedy or to instill usual doses of masala with action, sentiment and romance. In the end it doesn't do justice to anything. Wonder what has happened to this once talented writer-director Teja.
Who in her right mind would barge into her divorced husband's house that too into his bedroom albiet with a hidden agenda. Neither the romance nor the anger of the heroine over the hero is well established. In the end the remorse that the heroine has is confusing for she has not done any wrong in separating from a lair who has conned her all the way to marriage. Chauvinism galore.
Sairam Shankar is good as Sathya who lies his way to marriage and suffers as the consequence of it. He is good be it dancing or in the comical situations or with his dialogue delivery. Only in the sentimental scenes he looks lacking in confidence and it shows. Ester Noronha makes her debut as the lead actress. She looks ravishing but lacks emotive skills. Nagababu is a show-stealer in a comical role. If the movie has 5-6 scenes where one can laugh wholeheartedly Nagababu is there in about 4 or 5 of them.
Movie doesn't boasts of catchy songs which is usually the Teja movie's forte. Ramana Gokula is the music director and his music is routine fare. Technically also the movie is average.
