Plot
As
the
title
suggests,
Ek
Mini
Katha
is
literally
about
a
highly
educated
young
man's
frustration
regarding
everything
'big' and
'small'.
The
film
begins
with
Ram
Mohan
(Brahamji)
approaching
a
psychiatrist
for
his
son's
(Santosh)
treatment
who
the
father
thinks
is
a
s*x
addict.
Upon
calling
Santosh
to
the
clinic,
the
doctor
learns
about
the
young
man's
life-
from
the
adolescent
period
to
the
current
happenings.
Since
his
childhood,
Santosh
believes
that
he
has
a
small
pe*is.
Though
he
approaches
his
father
to
clear
his
doubts
about
the
same,
he
is
seen
beaten
up
and
considered
evil-minded
since
then.
With
time,
the
youngster
becomes
conscious
and
tries
out
herbs,
pointless
tips
from
the
internet
and
even
takes
appointment
for
pe*is
enlargement
surgery!
His
life
takes
a
steep
turn
when
his
parents
fix
his
wedding
with
Amruta
(Kavya
Thapar)
who
he
is
sure
will
never
be
happy
with
him
because
of
his
'physical
condition'
(misconception
in
real).
Post
the
wedding,
Santosh
goes
through
a
plethora
of
situations
that
turn
his
life
upside
down!
Will
Amruta
learn
the
truth?
Will
Santosh
who
is
struggling
with
micro
pe*is
syndrome
finally
open
about
his
problem
to
his
wife
and
parents?
Well,
to
get
all
the
answers
you
will
have
to
watch
the
film
exclusively
available
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
Script
And
Direction
First
things
first,
for
Ek
Mini
Katha's
story,
director
Karthik
Rapolu
and
writer
Merlapaka
Gandhi
deserve
a
huge
applause.
It
wouldn't
be
wrong
to
say
that
the
story
was
the
soul
of
the
film
as
it
gave
life
to
each
and
every
character,
dialogue
and
sequence.
Other
than
choosing
a
bold
concept,
the
writer
and
director
have
also
focused
on
unveiling
the
bitter
truth
of
society,
hence
coming
up
with
a
problem
and
solution
pertaining
to
the
leading
man's
life.
The
storyline
of
the
Santosh-starrer
is
short,
crisp,
focused,
and
entertaining
that
comes
with
a
bang
on
strong
message.
The
film
is
also
an
excellent
example
for
Tollywood
to
look
up
to
for
experimenting
with
freshly
brewed
and
socially
relevant
concepts.
Interestingly,
the
director
has
been
successful
in
blending
humour
with
a
serious
subject,
the
two
contrast
things
that
often
don't
go
hand
in
hand.
The
film
also
has
its
share
of
flaws,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
main
lead's
mother's
character,
who
is
shown
as
someone
who
is
closely
attached
to
her
siblings,
however,
fails
to
understand
the
struggle
of
her
own
son.
The
director
and
writer
could
have
tried
to
bring
in
at
least
one
emotional
moment
between
the
two
instead
of
letting
her
character
roam
around
with
the
countless
relatives
making
a
mother's
character
irrelevant
in
the
film.
Performances
Santosh
Shoban
Santosh
is
undoubtedly
the
show
stealer
of
Ek
Mini
Katha.
Seemingly,
the
young
actor
has
done
thorough
research
to
get
into
the
skin
of
the
character
he
is
playing.
Not
just
his
acting
chops
and
comic
timing
are
impressive,
but
his
combination
sequences
with
Sudharshan
is
also
high
on
laughter.
Notably,
the
star
has
also
worked
well
on
the
minute
gestures
of
his
character
that
look
reasonable
and
at
the
same
time
nifty.
Brahmaji
The
senior
actor
has
done
justice
to
his
character
Ram
Mohan.
Brahmaji
has
excellently
balanced
his
role
as
a
father
who
is
also
a
professor
at
Osmania
University.
Interestingly,
one
would
easily
relate
to
the
character
played
by
him,
as
he
brings
in
gestures
and
dialogues
of
a
father
that
are
straight
out
of
real
life.
Kavya
Thapar
Kavya
Thapar's
role
as
Amruta,
the
ladylove
of
Santosh
is
well
defined.
The
actress
has
performed
her
character
with
utter
ease
as
it
requires
her
to
play
a
sweet,
humble
and
independent
woman
having
big
dreams.
Her
balanced
emotions
and
subtle
body
language
for
the
character
are
appreciable.
Technical
Aspects
Ek
Mini
Katha
has
camera
cranked
by
Gokul
Bharathi
who
has
indeed
done
an
admirable
job
with
the
visualization,
that
blends
beautifully
with
the
storyline.
Editor
Satya
G
has
delivered
a
stretch-free
output
that
keeps
one
gripped.
Talking
about
the
songs,
a
total
of
three
tracks
have
been
used-
'Ee
Maya
Lo',
'Saamiranga' and
'I
Hate
My
Lifu'
which
are
apt
for
the
film
and
well
placed.
Praveen
Lakkaraju's
beautiful
composition
will
surely
find
its
place
on
music
streaming
platforms
as
they
are
expected
to
end
up
as
chartbusters.
What's
Wow?
Apt
and
well-placed
songs
Logical
story
Bold
concept
Crisp
storyline
An
impressive
blend
of
an
unusual
subject
with
an
ample
dose
of
humour
and
a
social
message
What's
Ouch?
Mother's
role
lacked
emotional
element
Just
like
in
real
life,
a
few
unnecessary
relatives
could
have
been
avoided
as
they
seemed
like
gap
fillers.
Verdict
Santosh
Shoban's
Ek
Mini
Katha
is
undeniably
a
breath
of
fresh
air
for
the
audience.
The
comedy
entertainer
is
a
complete
package
of
fresh,
bold
and
out
of
the
box
concept
that
needs
your
complete
attention
and
we
are
sure
this
one
will
not
disappoint
you!
Also,
look
out
for
the
beautiful
message
it
has
about
overcoming
repressed
feelings.
