Cinematographer-turned-director
Dharma
Teja
is
known
for
his
teen
romance
dramas
like
Jayam,
Chitram
and
Nuvvu
Nenu.
But
following
the
poor
response
to
his
last
film
Neeku
Naaku
Dash
Dash,
he
has
done
something
off
the
beaten
path
in
his
latest
directorial
venture
1000
Abaddalu.
Though
he
tries
best
to
make
the
audience
keep
glued
to
screens,
a
few
slow
and
monotonous
scenes
kill
their
interest.
The
film
1000
Abaddalu
is
a
romantic
comedy
entertainer
with
a
few
masala
elements.
Sairam
Shankar's
performance,
Teja's
interesting
script
and
a
few
funny
dialogues,
Nagababu,
Naveen
and
Venu's
hilarious
comedy,
Ramana
Gogula's
music
and
background
score
and
picturiasation
are
some
of
the
main
attractions
in
the
movie.
A
few
unconvincing,
unrealistic
and
dragging
sequences
and
predictable
plot
in
the
second
half
are
the
major
drawbacks
of
the
film.
The
movie
is
based
on
ancient
Telugu
proverb
about
weddings
-
There
is
nothing
wrong
in
telling
1000
lies
to
materialise
one
marriage.
The
film
is
all
about
what
happens
when
a
man
literally
follows
the
proverb
in
his
real
life.
The
first
half
of
the
film
is
completely
different
from
Teja's
usual
style
of
filmmaking.
Barring
a
few
sequences,
this
portion
is
quite
enjoyable.
The
second
half
of
the
film
is
also
interesting,
but
lacks
twists
and
turns
in
the
story.
Satya
(Sairam
Shankar)
is
the
owner
of
an
advertising
company
and
he
falls
in
love
with
already-engaged
Satya
(Esther)
after
seeing
her
generous
nature.
In
bid
to
marry
her,
he
tells
several
lies.
After
marrying,
she
comes
to
know
about
his
lies.
What
happens
next
will
forms
rest
of
the
story,
which
should
be
watched
onscreen.

Sairam
Shankar’s
Performance
Sairam
Shankar,
who
has
played
an
ad
company
owner
in
1000
Abaddalu,
has
delivered
wonderful
performance.
His
dialogue
delivery
is
very
impressive
in
the
film.
He
is
at
complete
ease
in
dance,
comedy
and
romantic
scenes.
But
his
robot
moves
and
machine
voice
over
are
not
very
convincing.
Esther’s
Acting
In
1000
Abaddalu
The
story
of
the
movie
revolves
around
the
role
of
Esther,
which
has
ample
scope
for
performance.
The
actress
has
tried
her
best
to
suit
her
character.
She
impresses
you
with
her
glamour
in
a
couple
of
songs.
Her
chemistry
with
Sairam
Shankar
is
also
good
to
watch
on
screen.
Comedy
In
1000
Abaddalu
Nagababu's
entry
scene
as
Tower
Star
-
fan
of
Power
Star
is
hilarious
and
brings
laughter
on
your
face.
Driver
and
Cleaner
episode
between
Venu
and
Naveen
is
also
funny
and
it
makes
the
theatre
echoed
with
laughter.
Naresh,
Hema,
Babu
Mohan,
Josh
Ravi
and
other
artistes
have
also
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Ramana
Gogula’s
Music
The
movie
has
good
production
values
and
Ramana
Gogula's
music
and
background
score
are
the
main
attractions
in
the
technical.
All
his
soundtracks
are
melodious,
trendy
and
good
to
listen.
His
background
score
enhances
the
effect
of
several
serious
scenes
in
the
movie.
Other
Technical
Values
In
1000
Abaddalu
The
picturiasation
of
1000
Abaddalu
is
good
and
one
of
the
biggest
strengths
of
the
movie.
Teja's
punch
dialogues
and
funny
one-lines
are
also
among
the
big
attractions
of
the
film.
Editing
is
also
commendable,
but
the
editor
could
have
trimmed
certain
dragging
sequences.
1000
Abaddalu
Verdict
Overall,
1000
Abaddalu
is
not
a
usual
romantic
entertainer
of
director
Teja.
Except
for
a
few
dragging
scenes,
the
movie
is
a
good
entertainer,
which
can
be
watched
and
enjoyed
once.
