The plus points of the movie are creative scenes, Allu Arjun, songs (dances) and technical values. The last 15 minutes is clear as the director reveals the real character of Arya, thus relieving us of confusion. Second half is better than the first half.
Around 45 minutes of the movie in first half where Arya tries to make Geeta fall for him appears redundant. Production standards by Aditya Arts banner (Aditya Babu and Bhogavally Prasad) are of top-notch.įirst half is is not gripping due to lack of conflict point. Credit for lush visuals should also be given to EFX & Prime Focus (DI) and Pixelloid (VFX).
Cinematography by Rajasekhar is of top class. Sukumar comes up with a fabulous job of canning all the songs with energy and verve. Songs of Arya 2 are excellent to listen and I was a bit hesitant about director doing justice to the songs on the screen. The director cleared the confusion only towards the climax. The character of hero vacillates between the feelings of selfishness and sacrifice throughout the movie. Another major obstacle in the movie is the factor of confusion. So, there will not be sympathy for hero when he loses girl and there will not be feeling of triumph (from audiences involvement angle) when hero finally gets the girl. Hence, there in less involvement from audiences point of view. In Arya 2, hero would be sincerely chasing the girl to take her and give it to his friend. Hence there is emotional involvement for hero’s character from audiences. When he wants to chase a girl with sincerity, audience would love it and follow the hero character with empathy. In Arya movie, hero is shown as a guy with mischief and he sincerely fights for a girl because he loves her. However, there is a major glitch in Arya 2 compared to Arya movie. The best example is the way he distributes three characters in a stand-off of second half (like puli, meka, gaddi story we listen when we were kids). Sukumar is also extremely good at penning screenplay for some part of the movie. With one dialogue (Aayanaku champentha kopam vunte, naaku chachipoyentha prema vundi), the love angle of entire movie is justified. The drinking scene between Arya and Subba Reddyĥ. Hero wearing glasses to see the heroine clearly in his dreaming because heroine appears blurred. Using a bubble gum to decide who is going to be hero’s best friend (just like throwing stone into empty cup in Arya)Ģ. His intelligence and creativity is shown in conceiving certain scenes of the movie likeġ. Sukumar is basically an intelligent guy with a flair for parallel thinking. Making a movie based on such a characterization is a highly risky proposition and director Sukumar partly succeeds in it. Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the movie is about the conflict of love (Geeta) and friendship (Ajay) of a confused guy (Arya) with psychotic tendencies caused due to loneliness in life. An actor with better command on Rayalaseema dialect would have done justice to Sayaji Shinde’s role. Ajay is excellent as Subba Reddy, mainly due to entertaining characterization. Shraddha Das is gorgeous in a brief role. He is extremely good with histrionics when he delivers dialogues to Allu Arjun at hospital in the climax scene. Navadeep is nice as a guy with selfish and practical thinking.
She rendered the image of a typical confused girl about love. Others: Kajal Agarwal is good as a girl who is not committed to any guy at heart. That is the reason why he made hugely difficult dances appear fluid and effortless in the first four songs of the movie. Allu Arjun is probably the best dancer of current era in Tollywood. He shined in emotional scenes in the second half of the movie. His character in the movie has the qualities of a psychotic and he portrayed the character flawlessly. The rest of the story is all about how these two guys try to make Geeta fall for them.Īllu Arjun: Allu Arjun is perfect as Arya. Both Ajay and Arya fall in love with her. Geeta is the new employee of the company.
Ajay starts a software company and Arya joins him as an employee. Ajay grows up as a rich man and Arya grows up as a poor guy. Arya wins, but lets Ajay go as he thinks that friendship is all about giving. Arya and Ajay use a toss to decide their fortunes. A rich couple visit that orphanage and wanted to adapt one of these two guys. Arya is an orphan and Ajay is his friend in an orphanage.
