Ambajipeta Marriage Band

I dont watch Telugu movies much.. But I saw this on TV and read description and was intrigued to watch it.

Movie started out well but within few minutes it leave you with "facepalm".

Im not sure what exactly director tried to achieve here.. Is he supporting both sides stories? Because i couldnt connect to one side at all.

When you are discriminated, atleast focus on sympathizing narrative. But plot goes in a way that villain felt reasonable because the main actors are pain in the a.. for everyone and bought problems on themselves. While i was waiting for my turn to root for the oppressed but most of the oppressed elements dont even make sense.

Lead actor felt bland and i couldnt connect to him, atleast he was great in villain roles even if they are silly.

Leads sister had more villainish vibes than the Villain. Like wth bro! Overly aggressive and goes full blown for simple arguments making situation worse.. If as a writer, if i want to portray her in a way people will hate the character... This is exact characterization i would do.

Suhas in on a roll and his latest release is a wannabe good film. It appears a good film hitting all the right notes but somewhere it does not connect emotionally. It does not go into the depths of the characters and make us empathise with them. Blame it on the screenplay or else lack of investment on the characters, this film does not give a emotional ride as it ought to. The sequences in the film would have given a gut wrench if there more ground work done on the characters by the writer director, Dushyanth. The characters dont fly as the director does not explore the depth of their emotional core. This is a kind of melody played by a musician without any kind of emotional resonance.

No matter what negative comments are, It's a definite watch movie.

Very clean engaging narrative.

Suhass, his sister and the villain charectors (and ofcourse suhas sister) are centre of attraction. They have carried the movie on their shoulders.

Initial few minutes, you will start slowly drowning into the movie and will keep you engaged until the end.

Now a days it is easy to get provoked when it comes to caste, religion etc. Even though the movie is around the caste based ego centric play, The director, screenplay team, suhas and villain managed to exhibit it extraordinary. And the movie team managed so well that the core values of each other's are maintained well.

It's a complete package of emotions, action, love.

Please watch it along with your family.

Ambajipeta Marriage Band is an impressive drama that deals with a social issue, and showcases fine performances by Suhas, Saranya Pradeep, and Nithin Prasanna. The film's downsides include a known, straightforward story and a slightly slow narration in the second half. You can give this movie a watch this weekend.

The film's treatment of caste and societal norms is both sensitive and unflinching. It doesn't shy away from showing the bitter truths of discrimination and oppression. Yet, it manages to do so without being didactic, instead allowing the story and characters to naturally convey its message.

Ambajipeta Marriage Band is a beautifully crafted film that balances comedy and emotion with a deft touch. Its rich narrative, grounded in the realities of village life, combined with strong performances and high production values, make it a must-watch for those seeking cinema that both entertains and enlightens.

The narrative weaves together a blend of few compelling and many mundane elements.

Influenced by Rangasthalam, Uppena and Dasara.

The script shines during the sequences leading up to the interval and again before the climax.

The romantic subplot involving the protagonists lacks spark, yet it manages to elicit a few chuckles along the way.

The film thoughtfully addresses themes of caste discrimination and the importance of self-respect.

Suhas delivers a commendable performance as expected, while Shivani holds her own quite well.

Sharanya, in the role of Suhas's sister, delivers a standout performance that arguably overshadows the rest because the character itself is over the board.

Nithin Prasanna excels as the antagonist, adding a notable depth to the film's conflict.

Jagadeesh, Swarnakanth and other supporting cast also delivers decent performances, each contributing to the film's overall texture.

The production values are noteworthy, especially when compared to Suhas's recent projects, indicating a thoughtful investment in quality.

Both the cinematography and the musical score complement the film's ambiance well.

Dushyant's direction is a bit Amateur and traditional.
