Arya

Ajay(Siva Balaji),a spoilt brat and son of minister avatharam(Rajan P Dev), falls in love with geetha(Anuradha mehta) and threatens her to accept his love, otherwise, he will jump from the college building and commit suicide. Geetha who was in guilt because of an unknown guy jumping in a sea for her, decides weakly to accept ajay's love so that somebody else again doesn't lose his life for her. At that moment arrives Arya(Allu Arjun), as a new student in college and falls in love with geetha when she was proposing to ajay. Arya proposes to geetha infront of ajay, making the latter frustrated. Arya only wants geetha to feel his love. Ajay tries constantly to remove arya from his path but arya often outshines him with his sharp tongue and smartness. Rest of the film is whether geetha will realise the true love of arya or not. Being a keralite, I saw arya's malayalam dubbed version and I just liked it. But when, I saw the original telugu version, I fell in love with this film like anything. Story of the film might be straightforward but the script is just unpredictable, where each and every scene gives you a surprise. Sukumar in his directorial debut, itself proves to be a master filmmaker. He presents a cliche love story in a fresh way keeping all the commercial elements intact. Coming to performances, it was allu arjun show all the way. Despite being his second film, he carries the whole film on his shoulders. He's charming, energetic and stylish throughout. His dance and fights will make you in awe of him. Anu mehta was okay and did her part well. Siva balaji was also very good. The next highlight of the film is dsp's soundtrack. There are two romantic songs, two western fast songs and two telugu mass songs which are all brilliant whether you hear or see it on screen. His background score was an asset for the film. But, the film suffers from the biggest and only drawback of the film which is its some unrealistic and illogical scenes. There are many scenes which are unrealistic like 1.The ending where geetha turns into julia roberts in runaway bride (will ajay's father leave her alive after embarrassing them). 2. The notice board of college where anybody can stick any rubbish into it. What the hell was the principal doing? 3. How can men roam around casually in girls hostel including their bedroom? Isn't there a warden or what? 4. In arya's intro scene, a bunch of kids lift a well built adult like arya. How is that possible? Final verdict : Arya is the film which made allu arjun what he is today. Though his first film gangotri was a hit, allu was criticized for his looks and acting. But with his second film arya he proved all the critics wrong. Arya is allu arjun's show all over. His dance, fights and performance made him a youth icon. It was allu arjun's first film to be dubbed in malayalam and he became a youth icon there too. You will love arya for sure.

Sukumar's best writing made movie soo memorable in telugu industry

a great movie... the hero arjun has done a great job... the real credit goes to the movie director SUKUMAR... this was his directorial debute and it won him best director award for the yr 2004 south India filmfair awards and nandi awards... the music by DEVI SRI PRASAD is so good. special credits goes to the song 'feel my love'. arjun proved to be a good dancer in the industry...

Coming to the story of the movie... the heroin accepts a proposal when that guy threatens to jump off the college building. hero joins in the same college and its love at first sight for him, he proposes to heroin when she is besides her lover... the next story is all about how the heroin realises and goes back to hero...

a must watch for anyone, it truly deserves a 10. thumbs up for arya...

Arya is a classic that will happen once in a generation. The coming together of a brand new director, a brand new actor and a great new music director. Such Planetary alignments happen only once in a decade. It is also a case of perfect casting of even the minor roles, such as the villain and even the hangars on of the villain, who sucks you into the story. Its light hearted but at its core it is a love story.

The first song Thadiginathom expresses the vigor and vitality and philosophy of the youth as well as Shakespeare expresses conflict. The dancing is on par with any Broadway show and is elegant.

Allu Arjun is made for the story and the story itself is of the new age cinema. The heroin oozes freshness and is perfect for the role. Its the break out movie for Allu Arjun, Sukumar and Deviprasad. Its a feat for the eyes and ears and recharges your soul. Long Live Sukumar who made it happen.

Very different story line which catch holds the interest in first half of the movie and second half is a bit predictive yet interesting. Full of quick and chirpy humour which is quite impressing.

I had a dull feeling about Allu Arjun (the lead actor) until i watched this movie but he proved himself in Arya. Despite his unimpressive look and personality, his performance is very lively and energetic. The heroine is very dull in action unlike the hero.

Overall the movie is quite entertaining. Can watch it multiple times. Its a family entertainer with no vulgar scenes or dialogs. This was actually a turning point to the hero in his career.
