Director
S
Narayan
introduced
his
son
Pankaj
through
the
movie
Chaitrada
Chandrama,
which
was
an
utter
flop.
But
the
director
seems
to
have
gone
ahead
to
do
another
movie
with
his
son
without
brooding
over
the
failure.
His
second
venture
with
his
son
is
Cheluvina
Chilipili.
Cheluvina
Chilipili
is
a
love
story.
Although
the
movie
apparently
seems
to
be
mere
love
story
of
two
youths,
it
deals
with
the
sentimental
relationship
between
parents
and
children.
Director
has
tried
to
bring
the
sentimental
confliction
onscreen
in
a
beautiful
way.
Though
S
Narayan
has
claimed
it
as
the
movie
Cheluvina
Chilipili
is
his
own
original
creation,
it
is
very
clear
that
the
movie
is
a
remake
of
Telugu
movie
Kotha
Bangaru
Lokham,
which
was
released
in
2008.
The
first
half
of
the
movie
runs
logically
with
story
of
parents" dreams
about
their
children"s
future
and
children
ignoring
their
interests.
But
the
second
half
takes
brisk
pace
with
college
scene,
love
sentiment
and
comic
sequences.
Balu
(Pankaj)
is
the
only
son
of
middle
class
father
and
mother
(Ananth
Nag
and
Sumalatha).
Swapna
is
the
daughter
of
a
rich
and
strict
father
(Rajendra
Karanth).
Balu
and
Swapna
join
a
residential
college
to
pursue
PUC
studies.
Both
fall
in
love
with
each
other.
Furious
father
stops
Swapna"s
education.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
climax
of
the
movie.
Director
S
Narayan
has
put
lot
of
effort
in
depicting
the
relationships,
differences
and
family
problems.
But
he
has
still
failed
to
get
a
hero-image
for
his
son.
Although
actor
Pankaj
has
improved
a
lot
when
compared
to
his
previous
movie,
he
has
still
lot
more
to
learn
in
acting.
Actress
Roopika,
who
entered
film
industry
as
a
child
actress,
has
given
wonderful
performance.
She
rocks
the
audiences
in
all
kinds
of
sequences.
Ananth
Nag,
Sumalatha,
Rajendra
Karanth,
Kote
Prabhakar,
Dwarkish
and
Sundar
have
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Some
sequences
of
Cheluvina
Chilipili
have
been
canned
in
beautiful
locations
of
Germany
and
Austria.
Jagadish
Wali"s
camera
work
remains
as
the
highlight
of
the
movie.
He
has
got
good
visual
effect
for
the
movie.
Mickey
J
Mayer,
who
has
scored
music
for
Kotha
Bangaru
Lokam,
has
failed
to
play
a
magic
through
his
music
in
the
movie.
But
the
song
'Nijana" continues
to
haunt
the
minds
of
the
audiences,
even
when
they
go
out
of
the
theatre.
In
a
nut
Shell,
the
movie
Cheluvina
Chilipili
is
a
family
entertainer.
One
can
watch
it
once
and
enjoy.
