Bhale Bhale Magadivoy

It's a very good comedy movie to watch with family, situation are combined neatly, there are no forced comedy sequences. You will enjoy this with friends or with family or alone. However get ready to watch a blue film, no seriously, Blue is used in cloths, furniture, lights, walls and that also worked in favor of uplifting the overall mood of the movie.

Review By Kamal K

Once again, Nani proves what a powerhouse of talent he is and excels in his role. Films like these are Nani's territory and he should more often do such entertainers. Nani makes you empathize with his character and also evokes superb comedy at the same time.

Credit should also go to Maruthi for etching out a clean entertainer. The creative director never fails to surprise and entertains you till the last five minutes. The surprise package of the film is Murali Sharma who is generally associated with negative roles. He does a marvelous job as Lavayna's father and all his scenes with Nani are etched out well.

There is a huge doses of comedy and all the various episodes featuring Vennela Kishore and Srinivas Reddy have been executed superbly. The romance that is showcased between the lead pair has also come out well. Lavanya Tripathi looks adorable and is superb as Nandana. Her chemistry with Nani is endearing and brings a feel good effect to the film.

Minus Points:-

Climax is a let down as Maruthi chooses a very cleashed and ordinary ending. He could have ended the film on a simple note but chooses the typical commercial path and adds unnecessary fights and silly thrills.

On the whole, Bhale Bhale Magadivoy is a hilarious entertainer which will be loved by one and all. Nani's stunning performance and the non stop entertainment are major assets of the film. If you manage to ignore certain logics and a cleashed climax, this film will entertain you right till the end and is not to be missed.

The comedy deserves a special round of applause in the movie. The director lets go of all his common sense and writes the story like this. The story utterly makes sense but the comedy saves it all. It is the comedy that makes this film watchable and enjoyable too. The last portions are way too non-sensical but you can watch it because of the comedy from the initial and final proceedings. The Dad and the son comedy is too organic and new and as an audience you keep laughing for every 10 minutes in the movie. The Heroine is good and does her part well, the comedians rock in this movie. Especially Kishore and his dad.

Lucky (Nani) is a scientist who suffers from a rare condition. He forgets things as soon as his mind gets diverted at the snap of fingers. One such forgetful moment brings Nandana (Lavanya Tripathi) into his life. Nandana mistakes him for a do-gooder and from then on their love story begins. Even as Nani tries to hide his forgetfulness, he realizes that Nandana is the daughter of Pandu Ranga Rao (Murali Sharma) who dislikes him for being irresponsible. Lavanya Tripathi plays the quintessential heroine and thankfully she does not have any melodramatic scenes. Most of the times, she manages with her heavily dimpled smile and has a good screen presence. Not much of a character as Nani gets the major chunk, but she does manage to keep it simple and straight. The surprise package of the film is Murali Sharma who gets the writer- backed role and he plays dad to the heroine. Breaking away from the norm of playing baddie, he plays the father and he too puts in a convincing performance. Naresh and Sitara play parents to Lucky and they fit their roles perfectly. Then there is Praveen and Vennela Kishore, both of whom get to play friends of Lucky. Highlights: Nani Music Breezy First Half Drawbacks: A couple of scenes plugged in here and there The story is kept simple by Maruthi which works for the film and makes it a decent time-pass watch with a good number of fun moments sprinkled through out.

In Bhale Bhale Magadivoi, Lucky (Nani) is the one with a condition — he forgets the task he sets out for when he is diverted with something else.

His parents learn about his forgetfulness when, as a child, he forgets to convey a message from his grandparents, which would have given them a chance to mend broken bridges. The way the next few scenes play out, we know this isn't a story that will take a serious approach to deal with possible cures for absent mindedness. In a passing statement, we infer that the parents have tried their best before giving it up as a 'manufacturing defect'.

From then on, it's a string of fun situations where Lucky leaves friends and family fuming with the consequences of his forgetfulness. We take it that he is quite intelligent since he works at a botanical research film. The story doesn't tell us how he aced his exams without forgetting his lessons, but never mind.

The problem arises when his family is on the lookout for a bride. Lucky has forgotten that he's kept a prospective bride's father Panduranga (Murali Sharma) waiting while he is explaining at length in the office canteen on how to make the perfect tea! Maruthi puts together many such situations where you are laughing and at the same time sympathies with Lucky as much as you feel for the people kept waiting.

Talking of Maruthi, Bhale Bhale Magadivoi is his best film till date where he veers off risqué humour and gives a clean entertainer. He deals with a wafer-thin storyline that borders on predictable and boring, but springs small surprises at regular intervals. He benefits hugely from Nani, who has terrific comic timing and gives his character the sensitivity and respect it deserves. He brings the house down in the scenes inspired by, and pay a tribute to, Shankardada MBBS and Rajinikanth.

Lucky falls in love with (who else?) Panduranga's daughter Nandana (Lavanya Tripathi). Luck shines on him and he manages to impress her when he should have earned her wrath given his tendency to forget. But he still has the tough task of convincing her father and fending off an obsessive suitor Ajay (Ajay).

Here's where the film gets a tad repetitive. Like in many films we've seen before, one person smells something fishy while the other supporting characters remain unaware and mighty happy. The proceedings are salvaged with some innovativeness that comes later. Nani carries the film on his shoulders in these portions, managing to keep the interest alive.

Lavanya handles her part with a lot of grace. Her styling is impressive too. There's a good set of supporting actors including Murali Sharma, Naresh, Sitara and Vennela Kishore who add to the film. A couple of songs by Gopi Sundar are worth humming while the others almost hit a jarring note.

Bhale Bhale Magadivoi puts logic aside but there's plenty of situational humour where you'll find yourself laughing aloud and having a good time. And these laughs are with than at the protagonist.
