Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC) - Movie Review

In the last 25 years, no Telugu filmmaker or big actor has come forward to do a multi-starrer movie. Director Srikanth Addala and producer Dil Raju have done it and dared to bring two superstars (Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh) together on screen with Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC), which has hit the marquee today. The much-hyped movie, which had created huge expectations among the film goers, is really a wonderful flick that suits the image of the superstars and it is a big treat for their fans this Sankranthi.

Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is a complete family drama with a few commercial elements. The performances of Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh are the main attractions in the film. Srikanth Addala's brilliant narration and dialogues, Mickey J Meyer's melodious music, KV Guhan's beautiful picturisation are its other highlights. What the film lacks is the absence of lead actors' heroism and slow-paced narration in the second half.

The movie narrates a simple and beautiful story, which revolves around a middle class family. The movie is all about brother sentiment. With his brilliant storytelling, Srikanth Addala has brought out the emotions between various characters in the family in a realistic way. The first half of the film is very interesting with few heart touching moments and songs. The second half is also good, but it falls short to catch up fast with the pace of the narration.

Relangi Mavayya (Prakash Raj) is a gentleman from a small village Relangi and he believes in human values and relationships. He has two sons Peddodu aka Mallikharjuna Rao (Venkatesh) and Chinnodu aka Seetha Rama Raju (Mahesh Babu). Peddodu is an emotional guy and his maradalu Seetha (Anjali) is in love with him since her childhood. Whereas Mahesh Babu is a witty and charming young man and he falls in love with Geetha (Samantha), the daughter of Rao Ramesh. But Rao Ramesh ridicules Prakash Raj for his low wealth and this strains the relationships between both brothers. What happens next will form the crux of the story of Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu.

As witty younger brother, Mahesh Babu has also done justice to his role. He impresses the film goers with his godavari district slang. His chemistry with Samantha is a treat to watch on screens.

On the technical front, Mickey J Meyer's music and background score are the main highlights. His tunes like 'Aaraduguluntada', 'Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' and 'Vaana Chinukulu' are good to listen.

KV Guhan's cinematography is one of the strengths of the film. His rich and colourful picturisation helps the director to bring the emotions of different characters on screens. Srikanth Addala's dailogues and Marthand K Venkatesh's editing are also commendable.
