Aadi has teamed up with writer turned director Madan who is better known for hit movie 'Pellaina Kottalo'. Let see the movie synopsis atleast this much advertised movie will boost Aadi back on track or not.
Story: Varaalu (Aadi) is weak in studies where as his neighbor Ravi (Chaitanya Krishna) excels. Varaalu’s father scolds him constantly comparing him with Ravi. For further studies, Ravi leaves their village for city. To escape from constant reprimands from his father, Varaalu and his friend (Sakalaka Shankar) also leave for Hyderabad and Varaalu falls in love with a muslim girl (Adah) in first sight. After few songs and many lame jokes later, it is revealed that Varaalu didn’t come to Hyderabad for his father’s reprimand but in search of Ravi. Why? What is that twist?

Artistes’ Performances: Aadi is energetic guy and he tried his best but there are areas he need to develop his own mannerism to perform to good artist. He needs to learn how to deliver dialogue like his father. To be fair, he is good at dancing and in action sequences. Adah Sharma is beautiful and have good screen but acting wise she didn’t much at all and need to improve after this many movies.

Tanikella Bharani as Aadi’s father, Naresh as Ravi’s helpless father and Nasser impress us. comedy by Shakalaka Shankar and Brahmanandam are half baked.

Technical Excellence:
Low standard technical values – Both cinematography and music didn’t help the movie. Highlights:
• Interval bang
Drawbacks:
• Outdated jokes
• Boring screenplay
• Old style direction
• Substandard making
• Weak performances by lead actors

Analysis:

Right from the start director made story wandering aimless till 30 minutes after movie takes off and might be he doesn’t clue how to approach the interval bang.

Throughout first half you find such lame jokes. Brahmandam comes in the avatar of PK as Mr. Google and does nonsensical things. One feels sad that even today movies with such outdated scripts are being made in Tollywood.

Adah Sharma’s role is so useless and to weak love track and to proper romance developed between main characters. There are some twists in the second half, but by that time we disconnect with the happenings on screen. Added to it, the music and the chemistry between Aadi and Adah don’t excite.

Outdate Script and Outdate Direction Style and Poor Aadi again need to go back.

Bottom-line: Outdated And Half-baked Movie
