TELUGU MR. PERFECT
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: ***
Mr. Pefect could have been a perfect family entertainer during
summer holidays, but for its predictable narration and lack of any freshness.
The film is a package of good presentation and neat performances. The technical
values are superior, music is trendy and other technical inputs work in the
film`s favour.
The main drawback is predictability. Another point of discomfort is that it`s
too preachy with most of the senior characters sermonising the hero and heroine
all the time.
Dasaradh, director of good films like Nagarjuna starrer Santhosham,
repeats the formula of good mix in Mr. Pefect. The emotions are part
of the film, but they do not make a greater impact. The feel of Santhosham
is certainly missing in Mr. Perfect as there is an overdose of
dialogues, which lack punch. Though the concept of the movie is good, its
narration has too many loopholes.
After Darling, Prabhas is consciously trying for an image makeover
and tries to be seen in more family-oriented films than action thrillers.
Darling had succeeded in its endeavour despite thin storyline
because of finely narrated emotional sequences in the second half. Also, Prabhas
and Kajal`s chemistry had worked wonderfully for the film.
Like Darling, Mr. Perfect has two female leads and
Prabhas and Kajal`s chemistry is equally good. But emotional sequences seems to
be a forced addition in the script of Mr. Perfect, which may lead to
a little bit of boredom in the second half.
The story goes like this - Vicky, an assertive and ambitious guy, wants to lead
his life on his own terms. He returns to India after achieving success in his
business in Australia. His father advises him to marry his childhood friend and
village belle Priya. Vicky agrees, but wants to interact with Priya to
understand her.
They start quarrelling with each other, but do not want to hurt the feelings of
their elders. Priya changes her lifestyle for Vicky`s sake. When everything
seems to be going right for them, Vicky announces he cannot marry Priya because
she has changed herself just to please him. Vicky says he does not want his wife
to make compromises for him.
After that Vicky returns to Australia to meet another girl Maggy who has many
things in common with him including her attitude towards life. But then Priya
also lands up in Australia. What happens after that lead to the climax.
Prabhas looks elegant and stylish and his signature style dialogue delivery is
sure to please his fans. Kajal looks glamorous and shows a lot of improvement in
her performance.
Tapasi too shows improvement in her performance. Prakash Raj has a smaller role
in this film compared to his earlier films with Dil Raju. But he impresses
nevertheless with his vibrant performance. Nasser, K. Vishwanth, Murali Mohan,
Raghu Babu, Brahmanandam are convincing in their respective roles.
Music Director Devi Prasad has composed some peppy songs and Vijay
Chakravarthy`s camera work is top class.
Mr. Pefect has smart and trendy looks, but its over all impact is
impaired because of a weak narration and too much of dialogues. If you keep
aside these small aberrations, the film is a perfect watch.
