Bommarillu

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.

Bommarillu is dressed to the nine's with novelties that makes it tick... and boy o boy - they work big time! Presentation is the key differentiator, otherwise the story is a tried & tested formula in Indian cinema since the medium itself.

Siddharth: After Rang De, the expectations run high and he does surpass them. Consistent performer indeed.

Genelia: An apt choice and has all the coy looks to carry the role effortlessly. Very promising.

Prakash Raj: Luckily he does not succumb to reprising "I care a hoot about the camera" attitude. Hence the restrained performance works for the movie playing the "I decide for you" father.

Jaya Sudha:: Small role but effective.

Kota, Subramaniam Dharmavarapu, Suneel, Brahmanandam & Tanikella Bharani:: Adequate

Songs are hummable. Foreign locales are beautiful and Hyderabad never looked so appealing!!

Bhaskar the director:: Our "Da man" has mastered the 4-P's of marketing spot-on.

PS: Last time the tag-line "Love makes life beautiful...." was used in Mahesh Bhatt's "Aashiqui " 1990.

Sidharth presented the emotions very well on screen.He acted very well.He also sung a song in the film.That is tone of my favorite songs in my life.Genelia looked very cute.Director has lot of talent.He will go to the list of big directors in few years from now.Producer Raju has lot of guts.He is encouraging all the new blood to the Telugu cinema industry.Sidharth presented the emotions very well on screen.He acted very well.He also sung a song in the film.That is tone of my favorite songs in my life.Genelia looked very cute.Director has lot of talent.He will go to the list of big directors in few years from now.Producer Raju has lot of guts.He is encouraging all the new blood to the Telugu cinema industry.

Bommarillu (House of Toys) is the story of a young man (portrayed fantastically by Siddharth) who lives with his parents and faces an identity crisis as his overly protective father takes care of everything for him. When all the little details of his life are taken care of, he has nothing but a sense of emptiness left in him.

When he meets this happy go-lucky girl (played to perfection by Genelia D'Souza) who does anything and everything she wishes without constraints, he gets inspired and loves her dearly. He comes to terms with his own life and the things he misses, mostly his individuality. The rest of the story is how he convinces his family, especially his father about his state d'affaire and wins her over.

The casting has been excellent. Siddharth, Genelia, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Srinivasarao Kota suit well for their respective roles, especially in the scenes that require strong emotions. These scenes have been presented in a good manner. The music of the movie is a great asset.

On the whole, the movie is not just your average romantic comedy, but a pleasing mixture of human emotions, drama and romance.

9/10

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.
