EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: ***
Allari Naresh has perfected the art of carrying comedy roles with elan. He has
good timing and a distinct dialogue delivery style, which has lot of takers
among the fans. Most of his films, however, end up being timepass flicks with
lot of logical as well as illogical comedy sequences enacted by many established
comedy artists.
Naresh`s films may not look technically spectacular, but they certainly contain
elements which are enjoyable. Though it is difficult to call his films clean
entertainers (sometimes dialogues with double innuendoes are used), the presence
of experienced veterans in comic roles quite efficiently keeps you smiling most
of the time.
Aha Naa Pellanta director Veerabhadram has used the same formula and
to an extent succeeded in providing laughter to the viewers. But he has not been
honest in this endeavour as the film seems to inspired by 2002 Korean movie
Married to the Mafia. He has also mixed this inspirational content
with many sequences from popular films including Mahesh Babu`s blockbuster
Pokiri.
The highlight of Aha Naa Pellanta is not the antics of Allari
Naresh, but fantastic performances by veteran comedy artists Brahmanandam and
Srihari. With his lively act in the film, Brahmanandam once again proves why he
has been considered the best comedy actor in the 77-year-long history of the
Telugu film industry.
Raghu Kunche`s composition raises above the bar of mediocrity of music found
normally in Naresh`s films.
Technically, the film does not raise to the standards seen in Telugu films. The
production constraints could be seen in the execution of many sequences. The
song picturisations lack richness.
Subbu is a software engineer, who is in love with Anitha. One morning when he
wakes up, he finds beautiful Sanjana in his bed. The girl is the sister of three
gangsters who want Subbu to marry their sister.
How Subbu escapes from the ordeal forms the rest of the plot.
Allari Naresh fits into the role of Subbu perfectly. But Brahmanandam and
Srihari`s combination gets a better reaction as the two veterans have excelled
in their respective roles.
The two heroines don`t have much to do in the film, which has an array of comedy
artists who do full justice to their roles.
Aha Naa Pellanta is a good timepass.
