Bommarillu

A very beautiful story with a lots of comedy. I went for the movie just to kill some time. But what I got was a nostalgic happiness.

The movie is basically a simple story of a over protective rich father and a modern day son who wants to be happy with self-dependence. When son wants a simple T-shirt, the father gives him a Louis Philippe shirt. In the course the son looses his individuality.

This is a very emotional movie, but never lost its pace because of the sublime comedy. Siddharth's acting was excellent. Prakash Raj was good in the role of the father. Frankly speaking, I hated the acting of Genelia. The dubbing for her was the worst.

I truly enjoyed this movie.

Bommarillu is the story of Sidhu's(Sidharth) struggle in dealing with a controlling father.Life moves along manageable well till the point where he gets engaged to a girl of his father choice and then goes on to meet the girl of his dreams,Hasini (Genelia).Sidhu who had been rebelling from within until then,finally finds a reason to bring out the rebel who had been hiding within him all along.

The movie moves at a steady pace and keep the viewer interested at all junctions.Lead performance by Sidharth and Genelia are commendable though Genelia occasionally stumbles from sweet to sappy.The supporting cast does a decent job but I found Prakash Raj a little tiring as he does the same thing he does in every movie with the tapping-forehead-with-four-fingers-thing.

Strong points for the movie include:- 1.Squeaky clean script:-Its thekind of squeaky clean that u can watch this movie sitting next to your maths professor without flinching.The lead pair rarely make bodily contact except for some dance moves.No double meaning jokes,no exposing,no innuendo of any sort.Kudos to the director for his effort to keep it this clean.

2.Story&Direction:-The approach is the same,but at least the story is different.the characters of Sidhu and his father are well fleshed and their portrayal is commendable.It would have been easy to dismiss Sidhu for being a wuss without a spine if it wasn't for the directors effort in showcasing the emotions that lurk withing a man without freedom.

3.Genelia:-The whole script rests on her likability.And she does her job pretty well.Sometimes she does stumble on the line between sweet and sappy, but she finds her balance pretty fast.

4.Music:-Another great job by the talented Devi sri Prasad.Engaging and fun.

Weak points:-

1.The comedy track is weak.

2.Kota Srinivas rao and Jayasudha are wasted.They do provide strength to the cast but they are too talented to be offered that little.

3.Occasionally over sweet script but they are minor glitches and overall don't effect the movie to a great extent.

Bottomline:-A very good movie to be enjoyed with the entire family.If this movie doesn't break records,it will certainly run in theaters for a long time.

i have no hesitation at all to rate 10 out of 10 for this blockbuster...i don't remember exactly how many times i have seen the last episode of the movie, where the emotional discussion between hero and his dad rocks....i have never expected he can do that well!! and no doubt, the entire credit goes to the director for not only being able to choose the right actors for each and every character, but also for being able 2 extract that marvelous talent 4m all d cast....hero's father is an evergreen actor, who delivers an ultimate performance...hero's mother and the cook r fit in2 those roles and coming 2 d major asset of the movie, its the heroine....u can notice a perfect professional actress in this movie...i have never ever seen her in such a role...this is a sort of dream offer 2 any actress in d industry....another major asset of the movie is music...he is one among d very few trustworthy music directors 2day in the film industry...even the taking n presentation of d songs is adequate this would be standing one among my all time favorite movies 4ever...n ever

I don't always have much use for "cute," as it often dribbles over into "cutesy," but this movie had almost the perfect amount of cute. Siddharth won my mind and sympathy in _Rang De Basanti_, one of the best movies ever made by anyone, anywhere. Here he made me giggle and relive the giddiness of new affection.

It took me a little while to warm up to Genelia D'Souza, but her character was so flawlessly, honestly bubbly that her enthusiasm became contagious.

The movie includes a plea for honoring traditions and taking them into account while also allowing for change. It urges balance and moderation on everyone's part.

My high school students read _Romeo and Juliet_. This year, I plan to show a brief clip of _Bommarillu_ to show the widespread knowledge of those characters and to make the point that arranged marriages are neither a thing of the past nor a way for parents to punish the young adults in their lives.

I'm glad I bought this movie (an original copy---no bootlegs for me!); I will watch it frequently.

The movie is Simply awesome... U r gonna love it...

Siddharth and Genelia do not fail to Keep the mood of the movie high all the time... Both are well suited for the characters they portray and both have done justice to it...

Now coming to the story... Sidhu(Siddharth) is the son of a rich businessman Aravind(Prakash Raj)... Aravind Loves his son and is over protective of him... sidhu finds this hard to accept , but his love for his father prevents him from informing this ... Aravind decides everything for Sidhu including wat he wears n how to eat... Sidhu decides that at least in 2 aspects of his life he'll take his own decision-one choosing his life partner n another his work... But one day his father decides a bride for him... Sidhu is reluctant to marry her n hence informs his father bout it.. when asked for the reason for his reluctance he fails to give a proper one.. Aravind asks weather he is in love with anyone,to which Sidhu replies in negative...following which Sidhu gets engaged to Subbalakshmi(Neha)... once engaged, Sidhu finds his perfect match in Hasini(Genelia)... now he displays more audacity and tells about his new found love to his father... So his father asks him to get Hasini to house so that they could get acquainted with her... Hasini lies to her father of going to a trip n starts living in Sidhu's house to win the heart of his family... Climax is as expected... a happy ending...

Genelia is an Eye candy... no questions can be raised against Prakash raj's acting... Songs are melodious... All in all the movie is a must watch.
