TELUGU VENNELA 1 1/2
EDITOR'S PICK
`Vennela
1 1/2` is comedy at its worst
Rating: *
Comedy is embraced and loved by one and all when it comes in the form which is
universally accepted. In Hollywood, American Pie and Road
Trip kind of films are loved by some and hated by some too, but that
doesn`t mean these films are bad.
However, in desperate attempt, if as a filmmaker, one makes films along the
lines of Hollywood adult comedies, then one is automatically forbidding family
audiences to watch these films. Vennela 1 1/2 makes comedy loathsome
with its depiction of senseless `bathroom humour` that runs throughout the film.
A happily engaged Vennela, a Bangkok-based Robotics expert, is tricked by
`Krishna Krishna` into falling for him. However, very soon she realises that he
actually made her fall for him at the behest of his father, who makes a living
by breaking relationships. Vennela is heartbroken and eventually dumps him to
move on with life. It doesn`t take much time before `Krishna Krishna` feels for
her, this time for real and his friends Kadar and Sunil help him to win her
back.
Nobody seems to understand why the hero is called `Krishna Krishna` instead of
Krishna. Well, that`s just the beginning because the film has so many instances
that will leave you confused and disgusted. The comedians perform acts of
buffoonery on-screen, turning every single opportunity to entertain into an
awful experience.
Comedy in this film is showing two grown men share a single commode and leave
without flushing, naked men bathing by sharing a single soap, dozens of men
peeing facing the camera and irksome romance with queers.
The performances are grotesque and even the senior-most artists in the industry
fail to add a spark of brilliance. Kishore, as the director, only tries to woo
the audience with comedy that can`t be even called `adult` -- only senseless.
Vennela 1 1/2 is one of the worst comedy films of recent times.
