Pelli Choopulu

"One of the best Telugu movie of 2016. Its a gem to the industry and its a movie not to be missed" My rating- 4.5/5 (Movie with every ingredients mixed)

Positives- 1.) Direction,script and story- Direction was amazing and cant believe that Telugu industry has creative directors. Each and every scene was fabulous and entertaining. Script was masterpiece and it made a simple story excellent with powerful script.

2.)All actors- Everyone did their parts well. All were realistic and special mention to Vijay and ritu who acted out their parts very well and those two friends of vijay were hilarious specially priyadarshi whose humors went with the flow.

3.)Comedy- All the comedy were realistic and its something which we also see in day to day life and its presented out well on screen by actors. Director needs to be appreciated for portraying youth's stupidity with realism and i am sure all youth's could relate to it.

4.)Emotions and message mixed very well in the story and audience could get the feel.

5.) songs and bg score Negatives- (Nothing) Is it a must watch? Yes, and its a movie not to be missed. I hope this movie gets remaked so that non-Telugu audience can also see it.

Overall- Its very rare to see this type of movie and its one of the all time best Telugu movie and also it comes under my top 20 favorite movie list.

My rating- 4.5/5 (Movie with every ingredients mixed)

A laugh riot that's realistic and well put.

After a long time, I enjoyed a Telugu Film and felt happy after coming out of the theater and also watch it another time. Last time I had such a feeling for a Telugu Film was for "Mithunam" and it was four years ago.

The good thing is that this film does not have any dances, there are no fights, there are no melodramatic dialogues. Though the sentimental part drags the movie, the humour overtook the drag and added a pull. It's the fun I took back home and was happy with the feeling this movie gave.

The protagonists were new for me and of all the characters I liked the character of "Kaushik". It is played by "Priyadarshi". Of course, the film belongs to Ritu Varma as "Chitra" who reminded of "Roopa" in Anand (Anand is a 2004 film).

It's refreshing to see a new director make a movie that's terrific in content (the writing, narration) and make the actors do an excellent job. Kudos to Tharun Bhascker. He has a long way to go if he sticks to non-commercial films and believes that content is above all else.

The cinematography and editing are two departments which impressed me. The camera was invisible, as there are no specific long shots. The whole movie is shot in a straightforward and realistic way which is a huge bonus. From locations to interiors decors it was all well put and also colorful at the same time. There was life all through the film and hardly there was any dull visual. Also, the film was fluid with very few dull moments (dull moments were mostly in the sentimental last half hour). The cuts done were nice; there were no jump cuts and it is simply put. So, Telugu Film Industry can look forward to Nagesh Banell the cinematographer and Ravi Teja Girijala the editor. These are two good finds from the film.

I was impressed by the use of music too. Taking the budget constraints into account Music is a commendable job done by Vivek Sagar. I loved the usage of the song "Raalu Raaga Poolamaala." Also, I must appreciate a huge fact this film is done in Sync Sound. That is there is no dubbing used; a terrific challenge is handled well and the results are seen in the movie.

I am not putting the story or any dialogues out here. I am sure the Telugu Film Audience will embrace a film like.

A 4/5 for a Telugu Film. A rarity from me but this is one film I will watch multiple times.

I watched Pellichoopulu without much hope of being impressed or even of being entertained. Recent Telugu movies have been passable, but nothing that really got my attention. Pellichoopulu totally blew these thoughts out of my head!

The first half of PC was riotously funny, as the gang led by Prashant (Vijay Devarakonda) are goons who engage in the same dumb things college guys do around the world. Koushik (Priyadarshi) was unbelievably funny--the last time I remember laughing that much at a comedian's antics was maybe the Sunil of old (movies like Dhee, Ready, etc.). Ritu Verma as Chitra was awesome--I distinctly remember being amazed that there was finally a true-to-life strong female character in a Telugu movie. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the first half was that it was so current and relevant. Every teenager sees aspects of their group of friends in Prashant's gang, and the insertion of jokes about social media was timely and hilarious. Chitra's determination and modern character makeup was far more reminiscent of today's Indian women than the made-up doll roles that Tammannah, Samantha, and even Kajal frequently find themselves in.

The second half slowed down considerably, as the focus shifted to the emerging love story between Prashant and Chitra. I was a little less enthused about this half, but I believe it to have been very well done in its own way. The tension between the two kept me engaged, and the non-obvious way in which it resolved itself left me more satisfied than the usual fight scenes that Telugu movies use as a way of having a hero save the heroine.

Overall, Pelli Choopulu is a must-watch with great writing, direction, and action. I know I will be watching it again for many years.

Pelli Choopulu (2016): Its been such a long time since I watched such a refreshing movie like Pell Choopulu.In recent times,most of the movies are turning out to be a disappointing ventures.This week out of Jakkanna and Pelli Choopulu,I opted for Pelli Choopulu because I wanted to avoid Jakkanna.I had good vibes on this movie after watching the trailer but didn't expect much out of it.But to my surprise this is movie is awesome.

Plot: Prashanth (Vijay) is aimless in life. His father arranges a pelli choopulu for him and he agrees to meet Chitra (Ritu). On the day of the pelli choopulu, Prashanth, Chitra and a small boy are stranded in a room where they were asked to talk to each other. Thanks to the door that gets jammed, Prashanth and Chitra talk about each other. Chitra tells Prashanth that she is not ready for marriage and due to her dad's pressure she agreed to this.As the conversation progresses the duo realize that their thoughts have a lot in common. But a small twist arise which makes their ways apart but they again meet because of some circumstances.What happened to their lives and did they achieve their goals forms rest of the story.

Plus Points: 1)Screenplay and Direction: Pelli Choopulu has one of the most refreshing entertaining screenplay in recent times.It is so natural that we can easily relate to the scenes and dialogues in this movie.We never get bored at any point of the movie.A smile always lies on our face until this movie ends,even after that too......Director Tarun Bhasker really impressed us a lot.His work is commendable and we can truly await for his next projects.He is a real classy gen for Tollywood.

2)Performances: This movie has most natural performances of this year.Every actor gave their 100% percent output which really helped a lot.Out of them Ritu Varma is such a beauty of expressions and she is the major highlight of the movie.Vijay Sai perfectly apted for that role and his buddies,especially Priyadarshi is hilarious with his one liners in Telangana slang.He did the most refreshing comedy in recent times.

3)Music: Music helped a lot to elevate the scenes.Its so pleasant and songs are very good.Aanandamayenu is the best of the album.

4)Cinematography. This movie has the camera work similar to short films but really a appreciable job.It helped to give movie a natural look

Minus Points: 1)Ordinary story line: Movie's story is just like regular romantic comedy but its nothing to worry about as it has wonderful screenplay.

SO Pelli Choopulu is one of the most refreshing n naturally crafted romantic comedy with best performances,music and direction.A Must Watch one...

The movie is completely surrounded by positive vibes. From beginning to ending the charm of the film never fades. Vijay devarakonda excels in his role with his natural emotions. The character called kowshik made movie extra special.
