Not
many
Telugu
actors
have
dared
to
do
an
experiment
with
the
different
shades
of
characters.
But
Manoj
is
one
such
star,
who
has
done
it
in
his
latest
movie
Uu
Kodathara
Ulikki
Padathara
which
also
stars
Balakrishna.
Story:
Gandharva
Mahal
belongs
to
the
forefathers
of
Narasimha
Rayudu
(Balakrishna),
who
marries
his
sister
to
his
relative
Phanindra
Bhupathi
(Sonu
Sood),
who
is
in
love
with
a
prostitute's
daughter
Amruthavalli
(Lakshmi
Prasanna).
Narasimha
gifts
his
wealth
including
the
Mahal
as
dowry.
But
he
kills
Bhupati
when
he
tries
to
kill
his
sister
and
bring
Amruthavalli
to
the
Mahal.
He
also
dies
in
the
fight,
but
his
soul
haunts
the
Mahal
to
prevent
others
from
occupy
it.
How
a
young
man
(Manoj)
dares
the
soul
and
wins
the
hand
of
Jagadha
(Deeksha
Seth)
the
daughter
of
Rayudu
(Prabhu)
will
form
the
crux
of
the
film.
Performance:
Balakrishna
has
delivered
a
great
performance
as
Narasimha
Rayudu.
It
is
true
that
Mohanbabu
has
missed
a
chance
by
not
playing
the
role.
Manoj
has
also
delivered
wonderful
acting.
With
his
six-pack
body,
he
looks
fabulous
in
action
and
dance
sequences.
Deeksha
Seth
does
not
have
enough
scope
to
show
her
acting
skills,
but
she
has
used
the
available
screen
place
properly.
She
has
exposed
her
glamour
a
lot
in
a
couple
of
songs.
Lakshmi
Prasanna,
Bhanuchander,
Sonu
Sood,
Saikumar,
Gollapudi
Maruthi
Rao,
Balayya
and
others
have
done
complete
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Brahmanandam,
Dharmavarapu
Subrahmanyam,
Raghubabu
surely
tickle
the
funny
bones
of
audiences.
Technical:
The
art
director
has
done
a
wonderful
job
in
creating
the
Gandharva
Mahal
set,
which
is
extra-ordinary.
Cinematographer
B
Rajasekhar
has
maintained
a
perfect
lighting
all
through
the
film.
The
action
scenes
and
the
blood
drops
are
perfectly
shown
on
the
screen.
Suman-Sulaiman's
background
score
is
excellent
and
it
elevates
many
scenes.
Lakshmi
Bhupati's
dialogues
are
a
letdown
and
there
is
no
punch
in
them.
The
director
has
done
a
good
script,
bu
failed
to
pen
a
perfect
screenplay
for
it.
He
could
not
handle
the
subject
in
a
proper
manner.
Before
the
end
of
the
first
half,
the
subject
waters
down,
but
by
the
interval
bang,
he
takes
the
reins
again.
However,
in
the
second
half
there
are
many
ebbs
and
tides
in
the
run
of
the
subject.
Remarks:
Manoj's
character,
which
has
different
shades,
has
to
be
seen
on
the
screen.
Such
an
experiment
is
dangerous
at
times,
but
Manoj
has
done
it.
Watch
the
film
for
Manoj,
Balakrishna
and
Lakshmi
Prasanna's
performances
and
the
twists
in
the
story
and
the
director's
narration.
Watch
the
film
Uu
Kodathara
Ulikki
Padathara
for
these
aspects.
