Ante Sundharaniki

It's been a while people laughed so much in a movie theatre! Director has done a great job on the comedy scenes, screenplay! Loved Nani's action, his free flow acting. Nazriya's action was awesome, the way she carried the emotions, looking forward to seeing her more in Tollywood! Loved it.

A well written romcom movie . Most of the romcom movie I had seen were mostly weak in script , but Ante Sundharaniki was very well written . Especially first half , the way the narrated story in non linear literally made me surprised . Movie runtime was around 3hrs , not even in single place I felt boring or draggy . Comedy worked very well . Vivek Athreya as director and writer done a great job . Characterisation for each and every character was well designed , the way they established characterisation in first few minutes of movie made more intresting . Naziriya and Nani both were so impressive with their performance . Overall a well made romcom movie to watch with your family and friends . Please don't miss it .

Ante Sundaraniki translates to "seems Sundaram..." is a rom-com ,fun-filled ride,directed by Vivek Athreya, produced by Mythri Movie Makers and music scored by Vivek Sagar .Starring Nani as Sundar prasad and Nazriya as Leela Thomas in lead roles, supported by Naresh,Rohini, Azhalagam perumal,Nadiya, Harsha. And a special aboard which is a surprise. This movie is very different in its elements , when the context is very well known and if to present it is very easy, Vivek Athreya joins hands and makes it in a different way which is his significance. Talking about his previous directorial "brochevarevarura". Ante Sundaraniki follows the same template too. Not in the sense of content but of the screenplay. Can't say confusing ,but attracts very few and this is what makes the movie interesting as well as successful in reaching the minds of audiences.

Story and execution

Story penned by vivek focuses on a Brahmin orthodox family and a Christian family. Sundar Prasad who dreamt of becoming a hero ends up becoming an employee of a company. When Leela is added to his life how he meets her and what all interruptions they've faced to be one is the story ,which involves laughs, emotions etc. Also bringing back Nani to his original form is the major factor as he is known for his comedy timing, expressions etc. His innocence is seen throughout the movie. The scenes of Nani with actor harsha were hilarious. This was the crazy stuff added. Actor Naresh makes us laugh and emotional. The grandmother's role was the crazy creation. People will definitely connect to their ones. Nazriya maintained that cuteness throughout the movie. This makes the pair look lovable. Added soothing songs and bgms by Vivek Sagar is a plus point. Vivek sagar just mesmerized the audience. But coming to the duration of the movie it is lengthy and makes audience bored in some sequences, also the point I earlier said- the screenplay can only be satisfied by few people. I felt that some part of the movie doesn't contain the crisp to connect , although, audience who are mid aged can definitely relate to it. Actress Rohini's acting in the climax especially is the best . Hence, it's a film that can be watched by all.

Verdict

After watching the movies filled with violence, thrilling elements/ suspense, this movie refreshes you with its coolness. And takes you'll in their trance. While watching the movie, a smile will definitely be maintained by the audience .Therefore, Ante Sundaraniki is a film that can be watched with family and keeps you cool in this scorching heat.

There is a reason why I given 10/10 to this movie...because...the story and the screen play are blended as perfect as a whiskey of 20 years old .... You can ask why whiskey, because only mature(of alcohol) people can find the difference in the taste of 20yr blended with normal cheap whiskey...

So when people watch this movie... I would say this is not 18+ but it's actually 18+... People below 18 can find movie great with it's twists, comedy, the flow of the movie..but can never find the actual story unless they are more mature.... The screenplay is awesome....the story written by "Vivek Athreya"..is like "Kiraak".. The production team used the actors ..like 100%... As usual we can see Nani in all emotions(happy, sorrow, excited, demotivated, confused,...etc) and he showed those in a natural way.... Go watch this movie in theatre..because it's long(3hr 10min) and you shouldn't get distracted while watching it.....

Story is routine but screenplay and direction is new and impressive, that's the reason you won't feel bore in the 3hrs. Situation comedy is nice. Sundaram and Leela characters narration and performance is too good. Remaining all other supporting artists got their space and justice to their roles. Many sensitive scenes but director handled wisely with precautions. Perfect example of handle with care. Vivek Sagar BGM is too good in pre climax scenes. Will go this movie again.
