Pellam Pichodu Telugu Movie
When the institution of marriage in the metros and cities is under growing threat from the decreasing levels of tolerance and the willingness to adjust among married couples, rising levels of income and economic independence as well as lack of fidelity; 'Pellam Pichodu' attempts to convey the bliss of a faithful married relationship.
It advocates that in order to make the married life blissful it's not sufficient just to stay faithful to each other but to love each other and express it pro actively. And to live through the tough times in a marriage the spouses should have trust and the communication between both should be open.
''Pellam Pichodu'' is about Srinu (Rajendra Prasad) who falls in love with Rachna. He takes the help of a friend (Shiva Reddy) to win her. Shiva Reddy impresses Rachna about Rajendra Prasad by telling many lies. Rajendra Prasad finally succeeds in marrying Rachna. He loves his wife madly. Every waking moment he does things to please his wife. Bringing flowers and arranging for her birthday himself are only a few of the things he does for his wife merrily. His philosophy is clear, ''Husband should take good care of the wife who leaves her parents for his sake.'' There is bliss in marriage and the neighbors (Dharmavarapu and Raghu Babu) that are given to drinking and gambling are jealous of their marital bliss.
Srinu is very independent minded. Though he works in a chit fund company, he opens his own agency. He lies to his wife that he is a partner in the chit fund company where he works as a clerk and doesn't inform her about the running of the agency independently.
Srinu is hopeful that in six months he will be able to quit his job and operate his agency in a full-fledged manner. He is prepared to tell the truth to his wife then. But before that the lies are exposed. The lies sully his standing in front of his wife. The first crack in a fully functional marriage appears. Thanks to Priya (Srujana) and some more incidents, the crack deepens and ultimately the relationship breaks.
The climax of the movie brings the doting husband back to his wife.
Songs and camera work are not the highlight of the movie. Story is good, but the plot twists do not have much punch. Comedy, which was the essential ingredient of Rajendra Prasad's movies, hardly causes any laughter.
But the movie teaches a few tips about leading a happy married life. It could be a good watch for married people, no matter how long they have been married. It would be a wonderful lesson to people who are getting ready to tie the knot.
