Takita Takita

Plus Points : The first half is dedicated only to establish the characters and their ambitions. Very soon too much of importance is given to only one pair, while the rest become sidekicks. The entire ‘Bangalore flashback’ works only to pull the audiences back to the seats in the second half. Jessica’s character is half cooked, and so is Dakshayini’s! However the film gets some movement with the flashback episode, when Bhumika Chawla is around. Techinical Department : Songs compositions by Bobo Shashi are wonderful. His songs aided by K.K.Senthil’s excellent work keep the audiences entertained at regular intervals. Kona Venkat’s dialogues are fine, but they don’t necessarily impress all the time. Marthand’s editing wavers from being jerky to excellent. The biggest problem however is with the screenplay, which never clearly defines the film’s USP. Analysis: The director doesn’t just use Rubik’s cube as a plot tool, but also uses special guest roles by Nagarjuna and Anushka for the same purposes. Connecting emotionally with anyone of the lead characters and understanding their problems could have been more involving. Looking at all the stories as an outsider limits the audiences’ perspective. The destiny of ‘Thakita Thakita’ depends on whether the audiences will like to be the outsiders watching the film or rather stay outside the theater. Movie Ratings : 3/5
