Kasipatnam Choodarababu - Review

In a small village Kasipatnam there is a miser Kanaka Murthy who has two sons. His elder son (Venumadhav) dreams of going to the US,in spite of no formal education. His younger son Anand (Vijayanand) who is studying in Hyderabad has a crush on Sandhya (Suprena) but has not been able to proclaim it. Kind-hearted he saves a boy who met with an accident with the help of Sandhya. He even borrows money from her by giving his gold chain and slowly their friendship grows. However he is disappointed when he gets to know that her marriage has been fixed by her father (Jayaprakash Reddy), when he proposes to her. Incidentally, the boy is none other than Anand. Kanaka Murthy, the miser, on learning that a US return boy would get more dowry, hides his elder son in one of his buildings and announces that he had gone to US, in the village.
Later when he comes to know that the village head (Benarjee) of the neighbouring village is ready to offer Rs 50 lakh as dowry for his daughter (Geeta Singh), he breaks the alliance between Anand and Sandhya and opts foe the wealthier deal. But Anand refuses the alliance and strikes a challenge with his father that he would earn Rs 30 lakh in 30 days and give it as dowry to marry Sandhya. In the process, he joins GDM, a multi-level marketing business and makes every villager a member under the pretext that they could earn lakhs by paying Rs 9,999. GDM, like one of the many fake organizations breaks their hopes. But Anand catches hold of the MD (Raghunatha Reddy), brings back Rs 30 lakh to and win the challenge as well as Sandhya.
PLUS:
No
doubt,
up
to
the
interval
and
even
a
little
while
after
that
too
the
film
managed
to
entertain
the
audience
with
some
comedy.
Debutant
hero
Vijayanand
is
a
look
alike
of
Navadeep
and
has
also
proved
that
with
his
performance
as
well.
His
body
language
and
histrionics
are
more
or
less
equal
to
Navadeep.
Hehas
given
a
nice
performance
in
the
film,
though
he
needs
to
improve
his
body
language.
Debutant
heroine
Suprena
is
good
looking
and
has
the
glamour
and
her
eyes
are
quite
sharp.
She
is
even
daring
to
expose
as
well.
Tanikella
Bharani's
character
was
penned
along
the
lines
of
several
roles
played
by
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
especially
in
Aha
Naa
Pellanta.
Other
characters
too
bear
similarities
with
some
characters
in
Vamsi's
films.
The
director
ha
almost
imitated
his
mentor
Vamsi
in
film-making
right
from
the
beginning
to
the
climax.
Once
the
multi-level
marketing
point
surfaces,
the
audiences
can
easily
anticipate
what
is
to
happen.
MINUS:
The
director
loses
grip
on
the
subject
a
little
while
after
the
interval.
But
the
part
before
the
climax
tests
the
audiences' patience
after
the
hero's
challenge
with
his
father.
The
item
number
in
the
film
is
a
mere
waste
and
is
solely
for
the
mass
audiences.
The
movement
of
the
film
comes
to
a
grinding
halt
and
is
stretched
beyond
patience
levels
while
the
hero
tries
to
win
the
challenge
through
multi-level
marketing.
Placement
of
songs
is
also
improper
for
when
the
film
moves
at
a
good
pace,
the
song
sequences
spoil
them.
Moreover,
Chakri's
tunes
are
not
so
impressive
save
for
a
couple
of
songs.
Three
of
the
songs
were
choreographed
in
Malaysia
and
one
at
RFC
and
the
producer
has
spent
a
good
amount
of
money
on
the
film
but
to
no
avail.
REMARKS:
Camera
by
Jawahar
Reddy
is
the
only
solace.
He
has
captured
the
greenery
of
the
Konaseema
village
atmosphere
on
the
one
hand
and
the
beautiful
foreign
locales
on
the
other
in
his
camera.
However,
the
choreography
of
songs
was
not
that
impressive.
Editing
by
Baswa
Paidireddy
is
okay.
Dialogues
by
writer
Mohan
are
good
to
an
extent.
Though
the
characters
and
the
village
atmosphere
resemble
Vamsi's
films,
the
sharp
entertainment
provided
by
Vamsi
cannot
be
reproduced
by
others,
even
after
working
as
his
assistant
for
several
films.
