Fidaa

Fidaa (2017): Who wouldn't have expectations on Sai Pallavi and Shekar Kamula combo.Sai Pallavi is heartthrob for all the youngsters after Premam.She is mostly known as Malar.She has great fan following all over South India even though she has acted in two Malayalam films till now.Now its her entry to Tollywood which was already successful as reviews have been positive and Sai Pallavi is being appreciated a lot.So how is Fidaa? Plot: Varun (Varun Tej), a NRI, lands in rural village in Telangana to attend the wedding ceremony of his brother (Raja) and meets Bhanumathi (Sai Pallavi), the bride's sister. They get attracted to each other and start finding out about themselves.Due to a misunderstanding, they part ways on a bad note. Though he likes her, she hates him for some incident.Months later, Bhanumathi comes to USA to see her pregnant sister. Will they fall in love this time? Does the story end on happier note?

My Review: Sai Pallavi is the major attraction of the film.Right from the first frame, she mesmerizes you completely. Be it her looks, Telangana accent and the way she carries the emotional scenes, she is a show stealer.It is so impressive that she got the Telugu language with Telangana slang so perfectly.Her dance moves in Vachinde song are awesome.Anybody can easily go fidaa over her.She is Tollywood's new heartthrob.

Shekar Kammula has selected ages old love story between two youngsters belonging to different backgrounds and their love-hate-love cycle.Even the movie is so clichéd,it still is entertaining only because of performances and dialogues.Shekar Kammula quite failed in second half as a story writer but his dialogues are entertaining throughout the film.

Music of the film is very good.Songs like "Vachinde","Hey Pllagada" and "Oosu Podu" are nice to hear.They are visually mesmerizing.

First half of the movie has lot of fun moments.All the moments between Varun and Bhanumathi are cute and filled with wit.

Second half is the major drawback as it gets repetitive with dull scenes.Even though Sai Pallavi's performances engages us,still the movie lost its charm in second half.

So,Fidaa is Sai Pallavi's show all the way with her terrific performance.A One Time Watch My rating 6.5/10

From Malar to Anjali to Bhanumathi every performance loved it. Songs, excellent timing of dialogues make the story more beautiful.

Love - Hate - Love - Story truly defined by this movie.

Must watch movie even if you don't understand the language the expression of the actress will define the whole story and dialogue. The excellent performance by all actors and excellent direction.

Fida

Yes, I watch Telugu films too

Let's start with the bad stuff first. Cinematography was not good. There were some shots that were actually out of focus, some that had obstacles blocking the actors and some which were just not framed well. Same goes for the editing, it was not good. They wasted so much time on Trivial things. There was one particular shot in a hospital which was four minutes long when it only needed to be thirty seconds. And one important scene which needed to be longer but was cut much too early without the information being registered completely. The hero and the sister of the heroine were baaaaad. It was strained and it was showing. Lastly, the ending was rushed and all the time that they probably should've saved in the movie should've been used for it instead. It was just very abrupt. More of a conclusion would've been great.

Now for the good things. The story he told was told pretty well. The pacing was great, save for the ending. The direction was good enough and the screenplay was pretty good too. The story had no gaping plot holes and the characters were well written. Speaking of which, the heroine is definitely the highlight of the entire film. She was effortless in her acting and a natural. She was so lively and her screen presence was better than probably almost all of the heroines working here right now. She brought the character to life and did it without a single setback. I had no problem in believing anything she said. She was wonderful. I would really love to see more of her. Special mention to her father in the movie who also gave a pretty good performance.

So, a pretty good Telugu film with a pretty good story and one redeeming character/actor for whom you can actually watch the entire film.

Bhanumathi,Hybrid Pilla, Okkate piece...Sai Pallavi wow I loved her character lot n lot.She is excellent performer,after Malar character Sai Pallavi got lifetime Memorable character Bhanumathi. Director Shekar Kammula after longtime came up with Fidaa story.Aanand,Happy days,Godavari great pictures of him and now this one Top of the list. He chose Sai Pallavi for Bhanumathi character that is biggest Asset to the film. We felt so many scenes relative to real life. Somebody said how much Savitri did her performance in Missamma and in Same way Sai Pallavi has given that much output.A beautiful story,Hats off to Everyone. Hero Varun in Kanche movie he proved himself the best actor and here he played NRI lover boy..great work has done. Varun best love story movie in his career.

Shekar sir you select new faces really it's workout great. Father,sister,actress aunt and hero brother everyone they lived in characters.Music,songs beauty melody tracks Vachinde Pilla song highlight.

Finally Sai Pallavi I'm big fan with Premam,Kali movies. Now worship her acting dancing everything.I watched 3 days continuously this movie only for Bhanumathi character and her Telangana dialogues. She told dubbing her own that too a malayali girl a telangana telugu accent wow we love more n more, Fidaa of her dialogues. My perception and opinion 2017 best actress would be Sai Pallavi in any film award. We keep smile on face while watching movie with bhanumathi character. Thanks to Shekar sir and Sai Pallavi. Sai pallavi has given life to bhanumathi character this is the reason I gave 10 rating. Still I feel new want to watch more 2-3 times bcos of Bhanumathi,Hybrid Pilla,Okkate piece really,one n only Sai Pallavi. I'm fidaa

It is very know subject and predictable story, but watched till end for Sai Pallavi's natural act. She made it as so cute love story.
