Pellikosam Movie Review
The makers of the movie Pellikosam mislead people with big poses of Venumadhav and Abhinayasri on the posters of the movie. Sunil has been given a chance to be the hero of a movie, so why cannot Venumadhav be given one. If you go to the theatre expecting it to be an out and out Venumadhav movie, only to be treated to the same stuff that you have seen in countless number of movies. Venumadhav is a just a side character like he is in most movies in Pellikosam. And Abhinayasri doesn’t get more than a few minutes above the stipulated item song. Supposedly the item song is a big surprise of the movie, claim the makers. Abhinayasri is an item song queen and Venumadhav has been part of many item songs, so what’s the big surprise?
The story is good but the sense of being cheated makes it hard to appreciate the good part. Add to that inept direction and Pellikosam runs in empty theatres. Saikiran is a boy with clear notions of love and waits for the right girl. The right girl Sanjana arrives in due course of time. But marriage with Sanjana is linked to a condition. The condition is laid down by Kota Sreenivasa Rao, Sanjana’s father. The boy who marries Sanjana should have a sister so that she could be married off to Sanjana’s brother Dasari Arun Kumar.
So Saikiran starts searching for a sister. And he meets Keerti Chawla who is already in love with Dasari Arun Kumar who is a suspended IPS officer penalized for his honesty. So where does Venumadhav figure in all this? Simple – he is a friend of hero (Sai Kiran, here) like he is in most of the movies.
The movie hovers between C and D grade in terms of quality. The only positives of the movie are the good acting of Dasari Arun Kumar and Kota Sreenivasa Rao. Hope to see Dasari Arun Kumar in more number of movies. He is meant for bigger stuff.
Sai Kiran has got good looks, acting skills and can carry off a big banner given a chance. Pellikosam will be considered a success if these two actors are picked up for more movies judging their work in this movie.
