Kalyanram Kathi – Movie Review
Impressing audiences with action scenes is not that easy all the times. A director should keep in mind while making such a film to establish the characters and the scenes in perfect order. He should ensure dialogues with perfect punch and build the sequences that could attract all classes of audiences. It scenes should catch the pulse of mass audiences and front benchers. However, the immaturity of Kalyanram Kathi's director and his inability in penning a perfect screenplay made the audiences run away from their seats at every possible opportunity.
Story:
A
retired
mandal
revenue
officer
(Chandramohan)
has
three
sons
and
a
daughter.
His
elder
son
(Sameer)
works
as
a
manager
in
a
construction
company,
while
another
is
a
software
engineer.
Ramakrishna
(Kalyanram)
is
the
younger
son,
has
dream
to
become
a
good
football
player.
Harita
(Saranya
Mohan)
is
the
youngest
child
in
the
family.
Once,
Harita
disappears
and
the
entire
family
searches
for
her
but
they
fail
to
trace
her.
The
family
ignores
her
and
insists
Ramakrishna
to
make
use
of
the
opportunity
to
play
football
at
national-level
and
feels
that
it
is
a
waste
of
time
to
search
her.
While
Ramakrishna
is
on
his
way
to
Delhi,
he
comes
across
Harita
in
a
railway
station.
From her, he comes to know that she was cheated by her lover, Chinababu (Shyam), son of Muthyam (Kota Srinivasa Rao), a notorious factionist. She tells her story that she is being treated like a servant in her in-laws house. When Harita pleads with him to take her to his father, he takes her to her in-laws house. What happens next should be seen on-screen.
PERFORMANCE:
Kalyanram
has
tried
to
do
justice
to
his
role
but
has
failed
to
impress
the
audience.
His
performance
in
action
scenes
sans
any
ease
and
the
action
scenes
are
moronic.
His
dialogue
modulation
lacked
to
deliver
the
adequate
punch
while
delivering
the
dialogues.
Sana
Khan,
who
has
played
the
female
lead
had
no
role
to
play
at
all,
except
to
shaking
legs
for
a
couple
of
songs.
Saranya
Mohan
is
okay
in
the
sister"s
role,
while
Shyam
has
maintained
a
good
expression
all
through
the
film.
As
usual
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao
has
done
justice
to
his
role.
Ajay"s
character
was
also
not
etched
properly
and
the
way
the
director
ended
is
character
is
unimpressive.
Dharmavarapu
Subrahmanyam,
Venumadhav
have
tried
their
best
to
tickle
the
funny
bones
of
audiences.
However,
Brahmanandam
was
wasted
and
his
character
was
not
properly
established.
Others
like
Chandramohan,
Sameer,
Surekhavani,
Telangana
Sakuntala
are
just
okay.
TECHNICAL:
Story
by
Vakkantam
Vamsi
is
pretty
predictable
and
lacked
any
kind
of
novelty.
Dialogues
by
M
Ratnam
lacked
adequate
power
for
a
film
with
faction
backdrop.
But
for
a
couple
of
scenes,
none
of
the
dialogues
sounded
impressive.
Moreover,
the
idiotic
dialogue
modulation
spoiled
the
punch
that
was
injected
by
the
writer.
Manisharma"s
music
was
below
average
and
it
is
not
known
how
a
seasoned
music
director
has
given
a
such
atrocious
tunes.
But
for
'Rama
Rama"
song
no
other
song
sounded
melodious.
Action
scenes
too
were
not
properly
choreographed.
Once
again
Mallikarjun"s
director
proved
to
be
atrocious.
He
miserably
failed
to
narrate
the
story
which
has
a
mix
of
sentiment
and
faction.
The
director
has
failed
to
do
justice
to
any
of
the
scenes
all
through
the
film.
The
screenplay
is
so
worse
that
many
scenes
appeared
disjointed.
REMARKS:
Why
the
hero
and
the
director
insisted
on
the
title
Kathi
and
why
the
Kalyanram
was
kept
as
a
prefix,
as
none
of
the
characters
in
the
film
carry
the
name.
It
is
absurd
to
give
the
title
'Kathi"
just
because
Kalyanram
carried
the
sword
in
a
few
scenes.
While
everyone
believed
that
the
year
is
fruitful
to
Nandamuri
heroes,
Kalyanram
failed
to
cash
in
on
the
sentiment,
as
he
ended
the
year
with
a
big
flop.
