Dongata
has
finally
hit
screens
with
a
perfect
release.
Lakshmi
Manchu
is
producing
the
film
and
her
daughter
Vidya
Niravana
is
presenting
the
film
for
the
first
time.
Let's
see
if
the
baby
doll
has
brought
in
any
luck
to
this
'Santoor
mommy'.
Dongata
Story:
It
tracks
the
story
of
an
actress,
Shruti,
played
by
Lakshmi
Manchu,
who
gets
kidnapped.
Who
planned
the
abduction
and
why?
What
made
the
kidnappers
take
that
drastic
step
and
what
exactly
happened
between
Lakshmi
Manchu
and
the
kidnappers
post
kidnap
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Performances:
Lakshmi
Manchu
is
quite
a
revelation
in
film.
Along
with
her
acting
prowess,
she
attempted
to
prove
many
other
skills
she
posses.
She
plays
an
action
heroine
in
the
film
and
her
fight
scenes
appear
pretty
natural
since
she
has
taken
a
special
training
in
stunts
and
kick
boxing
prior
to
the
film.
Lakshmi
earned
some
brownie
points
with
her
comic
timing
though
she
has
to
improve
a
lot
on
her
Telugu
diction.
Apparently,
Lakshmi
Manchu
proved
that
she
is
blessed
with
multiple
talents
by
crooning
a
song.
Adivi
Sesh,
Madhu
Nandan
and
Prabhakar
were
apt
enough
for
their
roles.
One
to
mention
here
is
Brahmanandam
since
he
stole
the
entire
show
undeniably.
Every
scene
he
appeared
was
laugh
riot.
Jaya
Prakash
Reddy,
Madhu,
30
years
Prithvi,
Pragathi
and
many
more
seasoned
comedians
and
actors
made
Dongata
a
hilarious
watch
with
their
antics.
Technical
Aspects:
Director
Vamsi
Krishna
seems
to
have
concentrated
more
on
the
extra
elements
of
the
film
rather
than
the
main
ingredients
that
are
required.
Dongata
lacks
interesting
screen
play
though
it
has
few
twists
in
the
tale.
Hence
falls
flat
after
a
point
and
It
gets
too
predictable
in
the
second
half.
But
interesting
first
half,
few
funny
scenes
and
good
dialogues
kept
it
going.
Music
by
Sai
Karthik,
Satya
Mahaveer
and
Raghu
Kunche
is
quite
impressive.
Yendiro
song
in
the
first
half
and
Pub
Mix
song
with
all
the
stars
in
the
second
half,
fetched
in
some
whistles
from
the
masses.
Cinematography
of
the
film
takes
the
pedestal.
Overview:
With
a
tinge
of
sentiment
and
drama
and
tons
of
comedy
content,
Dongata
passes
off
the
litmus
test.
Finally,
Lakshmi
Manchu
scored
an
impressive
comedy
entertainer
in
her
kitty.
Go
give
it
a
watch.
Lakshmi
Manchu
Introduction
Lakshmi
Manchu
makes
an
stylish
entry
as
Shruti
an
action
heroine.
Kidnap
Drama
Lakshmi
Manchu
will
be
kidnapped
by
Adivi
Sesh,
Madhunandan
and
Prabhakar
for
money.
Pragathi
plays
Lakshmi
Manchu's
mother.
Hilarious
Comedy
Comedy
scenes
between
Pragathi,
Bramhanandam
and
Lakshmi
Manchu
and
Bramhanandam
stands
tall.
You
can
expect
a
laugh
riot.
Lakshmi
Manchu
Styling
Looks
like
a
special
care
has
been
taken
for
Lakshmi
Manchu's
styling
since
she
is
an
actress
in
the
film.
She
looks
dynamic
as
well
as
pretty
in
the
film.
Lakshmi
Manchu's
Song
Yendhiro
song
sung
bye
Lakshmi
Manchu
connects
with
the
audience
instantly
in
the
theatres
since
it
is
too
popular
by
now.
But
choreography
disappoints
you.
Stars
Entry
Almost
10
heroes
graced
along
side
Lakshmi
Manchu
in
a
song
and
it
is
surely
a
feast
to
see
all
our
favorites
at
once.
Tapsee
And
ofcourse
Tapsee's
special
entry
in
the
pub
mix
song
makes
it
more
glamorous.
Predictable
The
movie
gets
too
predictable
but
its
comedy
quotient
makes
it
an
enjoyable
watch.
