Bottom Line: Kerintha - proves to be less hoorah and more ho-hum
Story
Kerintha set in the background of a college, a
gang of friends with diverse characters are the pivot. The story begins
with Jai (Sumanth Ashwin), Bhavana (Sukeerthi), Sid (Vishwanath), Priya
(Tejaswi) & Nookaraju (Parvatheesham). They join in Masters in the
same college, but in no time they become good friends. Soon Nookaraju –
Bhavana and Sid – Priya make a pair. Meanwhile, Jai falls in love with
Jr. Doctor Manaswini (Sri Divya). To complicate things, Nookaraju also
falls in love with Shalini (college senior), He struggles with his
career, Sid can’t clear his issues with Priya and Jai starts getting
closer to Tanisha (Nithya Naresh). It leads to fun filled moments
besides hatred, jealousy and emotional moments in their lives.
Ultimately, do lovers join or not forms the rest of the storyline.
Star Performance
Sumanth Ashwin does the role of the protagonist
in his usual style and there is not much to test his acting chops. Sri
Divya, who stole many hearts with her promising performance in the Tamil
hit Kaaki Settai, has surprisingly insignificant role where all she has
to do is just to look pretty. Tejaswini Madivada gets some nice moments
and she looks very cute in her role. But her characterization seems to
have been half baked. All the new kids have done well. Parvatheesham as
Nookaraju walks away with all honours. As an innocent Srikakulam lad, he
is an apt cast. Vishwanath and Sukeerthi have come up with nice
performances. Pragathi, Anitha Chowdary and supporting cast have all
performed their roles well.
Techinical Team
The story penned by Sai Kiran Adivi is simple and
runs on the same lines of few youthful entertainers. The storyline
lacks much novelty but the way it has been executed pep things up . At
and around two hour and twenty five minutes the film seems like a never
ending saga and this could have been a major let down here. In the
absence of solid script (written by SVC team) to bank on, the film
struggles to a great extent. With a script that is too pretentious, the
film has a shaky start and the first half is quite tedious. Now the
greatest problem with this kind of inspired stuff is that most of the
viewers will be aware about upcoming storyline in the first thirty
minutes. This raises the obvious question on why a film needs to be
inspired so heavily, when the DVD’s of original (Happy Days, Paathshala
& 3 Idiots) content is easily available in the market. Here’s the
answer could be the market for titillation and that is exactly what the
makers of this film are eyeballing as well. Still I don’t get the point
about 3 years of making and 2 years of auditioning for new actors, when
they were planning to come up with a conventional line with budding
actors in lead. Plus, the screenplay never really takes the audience
along with its flow and looks fractured with cooked up situations,
boring monologues, forced comedy and dramatic scenes in the absence of
feel good script.
There are some basic aspects that
lack logic as well, like a post graduate fails to find an appropriate
card to propose his love, as he fails to read English on the card.
Seriously. Director failed to showcase main point whether the youngsters
reach their goals in the final. What was Nookaraju’s Goal in the end?
Pragathi – Vishwanath’s airport scene is very silly, and visibly angry
Viswanath tries to convince his mother by not telling about his pain and
pressure in his life. Instead of working on these things director
wastes his time on untimely marriage.
The music by
Mickey J Meyer is peppy and cheerful but unfortunately, the placement of
the songs leaves much to desired. Mila Mila and Thanks 2 Zindagi are
well composed, foot tapping numbers. Cinematography by Vijay K
Chakravarthy is good in the song sequences, With almost the whole movie
shot in the campus, the credit goes to the camera for giving audience a
fresh look through out. The editing of the film leaves a lot to desired
and the film could do trimming to make its progress faster. Dialogues by
Abburi Ravi are okay in parts. Production Values of Sri Venkateswara
Creations are appropriate.
Analysis
Friday can work in parts for all those who are
not familiar watching movies in this pattern used in films like Happy
Days, Paathshala, 3 Idiots and Life is Beautiful. But for all those who
are familiar with this style of filmmaking, this looks amateurish and
pretentious. All in all, There is nothing much that you haven’t seen
before, in Kerintha. Now, if you are fine about it, this film could work
for you!
