Bottom Line: 'Oka Manasu' is Too shallow and Sugar-coated !
Story
'Oka Manasu' is a love story set between two young professionals. Niharika
has essayed role of doctor (Sandhya) and Naga Shourya has done role of a
Politician. Rao Ramesh is the father of Surya and he is a small time
politician. He wants his son to be a MLA. Surya who is a loving son is
striving hard to make his father's dream come true. Sandhya expresses
her concerns regarding Surya's risky life as she is in love ! And during
an unexpected event Surya kidnaps home minister relative person who is a
dalit. So he is thrown behind bars and he was given temporary bail
later on. Once he returns he was forced to choose between the Lady he
loves or his father. What decision Suriya takes is an emotional climax
and that forms the rest of the story.
Star Performance
Naga Shourya and Niharika are the
pillars of the movie and they shoulder the movie single handed. Most of
the scenes are between the two lead pairs and that really, really,
really annoys us ! The narration is also snail paced. Naga shourya has
done an exemplary job and he fits the bill perfectly. Also Niharika is
gorgeous and she has 'Girl Next Door' features. But she is stone faced
even in emotional sequences. Dialogue delivery and modulation is good.
But the expressions are zero. However she has passed for a debutante.
Rao Ramesh as a caring and lovable father does his job neatly. Rest of
the characters ? No idea who they are and what they are doing. Most of
the frames are just dominated by the lead characters alone.
Techinical Team
Music by Sunil Kashyap is the big
time saviour. Some soul rendering melodious score has blended well with
the visuals. The enchanting visuals compliment the mesmerizing music
and it is the backbone of the movie. But at times, we feel the songs are
an interruption too. In this kind of movie, dialogues matter a lot. But
the dialogues are so dry and they never spark anything for the lovers
or the audience who watches it. Director Ramaraju has done a good job in
making a love story from a new perspective, but he has failed a lot in
executing it. Also there are 'ZERO' entertaining elements for routine
audience who prefer some light hearted comedies at least.
Analysis
'Oka Manasu' is not
just another run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. It is a new attempt which
has to be appreciated. But this will definitely not bring money from
Box-office. Niharika has made a promising debut. The 'Mega Princess' is
gorgeous and has set her foot strong. With more movies, she can learn
more in acting and she can be a better product. Love tracks are
completely artificial and that is the biggest negative aspect of the
movie. The emotional climax can attract few critics.
