Three
years
after
the
release
of
Ye
Maaya
Chesave,
Gautham
Menon's
next
Telugu
venture
Yeto
Vellipoyindi
Manasu
has
hit
the
marquee
today.
It
is
yet
another
good
family
entertainer
and
the
director
once
again
tries
to
entertain
you
with
a
fresh
and
young
love
story,
which
many
of
us
can
relate
to
our
real
life.
Yeto
Vellipoyindi
Manasu
is
an
interesting
romance
drama
and
the
chemistry
between
Nani
and
Samantha
is
the
main
highlight
of
the
movie.
Ilayaraja's
melodious
music,
Gautham's
enchanting
story
and
dialogues,
MS
Prabhu's
wonderful
cinematography,
amazing
choreography
of
songs
and
beautiful
locales
are
its
other
attractions.
The
movie
revolves
around
the
story
of
a
middle
class
guy
and
a
rich
girl.
Director
Gautham
Menon
narrates
their
love
story
in
three
different
phases
of
life
-
school,
college
and
life
after
that.
The
director
has
a
very
good
grip
over
the
happening
on
the
screens.
The
first
half
of
the
movie
is
bit
interesting,
but
in
the
second
half,
the
viewers
feel
stuck
somewhere
in
the
middle
as
a
few
sentimental
sequences
drag.
But
the
climax
is
amazing
and
it
should
be
watched
on
screen.
Nitya
(Samanta)
and
Varun
(Nani)
fall
in
love
in
the
school
days
and
break
up.
They
reunite
in
the
college
days
and
break
up
again
on
some
reason.
They
unite
again
but
their
ways
go
apart
while
shaping
up
their
career.
Whether
they
succeed
in
their
love
or
break
up
in
moulding
their
career
due
to
their
family
obligations?
This
must
be
seen
onscreen.
What
kind
of
ego
and
selfishness
they
show
in
the
process?
What
are
the
other
human
emotions
that
included
in
their
journey
of
love?
Answers
to
all
these
questions
form
the
climax.
The
entire
film
appears
to
be
bits
and
pieces.
Yes,
it
is
hard
to
edit
the
film
and
the
editor
of
the
film
too
could
not
join
the
film
and
jumped
at
many
scenes
leaving
the
audiences
in
quandary
and
grope
in
dark.
Of
all
the
artists,
it
is
Samanta
who
grabs
the
attention
of
the
audiences
most.
Whether
it
is
in
a
school
girl,
or
as
a
college
girl
or
a
most-learned
adult
who
is
working
as
a
social-worker,
she
appears
very
glamorous.
At
the
same
time,
she
has
given
a
performance
with
complete
maturity,
especially
in
the
climax.
Nani
has
also
given
a
realistic
performance.
His
character
is
quite
convincing
at
every
stage.
However,
Samanta's
acting
talent
appears
high
at
all
these
moments.
Krishnudu
makes
the
film
live
whenever
he
appears
on
screen.
The
dialogues
penned
for
his
character
are
witty
and
they
are
just
one-liners
yet
convincing
and
comical.
Other
artists
have
also
done
complete
justice
to
their
characters.
Ilaiyaraja's
music
and
background
score
are
the
main
highlights
in
the
technical
front.
He
has
composed
eight
melodious
tracks.
Almost
every
song
will
impress
you.
MS
Prabhu's
picturisation
in
song
sequences
is
very
good.
He
has
captured
some
of
the
most
beautiful
locales.
Gautham's
dialogues
are
also
sure
to
rock.
The
screenplay
is
not
so
tight
and
the
slow
paced
narration
tests
audiences' patience.
Overall,
Yeto
Vellipoyindi
Manasu
has
superb
performance
by
Nani
and
Samantha.
But
its
dragging
narration
kills
the
viewers'
interest.
