Aha Naa Pellanta – Telugu Movie Review

Aha Naa Pellanta is more or less modelled on Dhee but there are few minor but pleasant changes that keeps the story going. For once Naresh, the hero of the film plays second fiddle, he lets the story dominate completely. It is a content driven movie where the lead pair are just mere characters but those who lead the film to a hilarious ending are Srihari and as usual Brahmanandam. The movie keeps you smiling till the end, despite not so great dialogues, the only drawback however is the lengthy ending. A full ten minutes of chopping could give the film an ideal finish.

A wholesome entertainer that comes for Shivaratri, Aha Naa Pellanta doesn’t bore you, it has a story but more than that an interesting and a whacky narrative..three brothers who are rowdies are behind Subrahmanyam (Naresh) and they want him to marry his sister, the former is running away from her and her family.

A bespectacled Naresh delivers very few inconsistent comical punches but he is of mammoth help in providing padding to the story. Srihari, Samrat and Subbaraju are a treat to watch especially their dance in the second half of the story reminds you one from the hindi films. The music is a big asset, especially the number advocating marriage, the final two songs and the remix from Nalugu Stambalata. The remix holds your attention despite the choreography being pretty bad.

This one employs formula but never gets formulaic..ensemble performances by Nagineedu, Ahuti Prasad, Rajitha, Vennela Kishore, Venu Madhav entertain thoroughly. Newcomer Ritu Barmecha is pretty and does a neat job, however her dubbing should have been handled properly. The emotional and light moments are smartly integrated and humour has been elicited very well. Good cinematography elevates the story. Romance is boring but what the heck, the film is thoroughly entertaining.

We have another director now who knows what the audience wants right now and has set the tone to carry the film to success. Veerabhadram Chowdary has played safe, done his homework well!
