Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020) : Brief Review -

A Stylish Mass Body with No Brain Attached. AVPL rides highly on Allu Arjun's swag and eventually there's no other surviving factor in it. Before watching Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, you have to decide what you want to watch. If you're looking for a quality entertainer then please don't even think of watching it. But, if you're looking for a popcorn entertainer, when you can concentrate more on the flavour of your popcorn than the screen, then don't forget to watch AVPL on any weekend of your choice. The film starts on a ridiculous note but that's like a warm up. It gives you the idea about what you are going to see in the next 150 minutes. If you can hold yourself for an hour or so then be assured, you'll feel satisfied by the end. Every fight scene in the film is so stylish and so highly decorated that you may find it brainless but not irritating. Well, that's one of the USPs of the film is that despite being a stylish body with no brain, it never really becomes a headache. Yes, some scenes are too terrible for today's times, I mean even 70s masala entertainer had more logic but it's a complete package of entertainment for the TV audience. If they can endure those crappy daily soaps then this is much better. Murali Sharma did his best to win the Worst Actor award, not just with that crippled leg but crippled expressions too. However, there is one thing that lifts it up and that's Allu Arjun and his larger-than-life, out-and-out stylish image. Additionally, the second half shows some growth in IQ level after that senseless first half. That meeting room scene is hysterically massy. LIT! Rest of the cast is there only to fill the screen, and direction is strictly below average. Overall, a typical family drama with hit numbers, enough dose of entertainment and towered-tall, stylish swag of Allu Arjun. The TV audience can go berserk over it. They deserve it. That's one way to troll, ain't it?

RATING - 5/10*

Special Note to Murali Sharma's Performance. He did excellent especially during the pre-interval scenes. Everyone will remember him for this character after this movie. Now the real Hero of the film is Thaman. What a chartbuster!! 3 songs over 100 million views which is insane. The other 3 songs have at least 40 million views. As if this is not enough Butta Bomma went over 500 million views by itself. Hats Off!!

In depth Analysis:

First half: Right at the start they establish the grand scheme of things. The babies are switched and Valmiki hates Allu Arjun so he tries to put Allu Arjun in the dirt every chance he gets. With that we totally get invested into the story and are very curious as to what will happen. Right after this the movie goes a little downhill because of a lack of consistency in the entertainment. For example the sequence of scenes from where Allu Arjun falls in love to the song Butta Bomma the screenplay is not that centered to the main story but there were some amazing scenes in it such as when Allu Arjun gives warning to Brahmaji. Adding on to this, the movie was also a little slow paced so it may not be to catchy and appealing.

Interval Bang: Absolutely the best part of the movie. The inconsistency and whatever flaws that were in the first half were totally wiped out and you can see Trivikram's true talent here. The way the emotion is carried out is excellent. The way the old patient that used to be a nurse tells the truth to Allu Arjun is excellent. The way Allu Arjun reacts to that is excellent. Last but not least the way allu arjun and murali sharma interact at the interval is excellent. The way the story is carried with all of these is entirely Trivikram's talent.

2nd half: It starts out with Allu Arjun going to vaikuntapuram aka jayaram's house. The screenplay was much much better in the second half. The flow of things. Comedy was more situational and better even though there is much less comedy. The other thing to note is there are many things that Trivikram decided to differently here to make things more interesting. The first thing is that he made the ball room a dancing sequence with a lot of famous songs. The second thing is the fight with the song sitharala sirapadu.

Overall this movie has all the perfect elements for a commercial movie but has below average screenplay in the first half. The interval bang and the performances during it for Murali Sharma and Allu Arjun is very good. The second half is a good conclusion to the story and has some notable scenes like the ball room dance.
