Love Story Unplugged

As it was told repeatedly, this Sekhar Kammula's Love story is completely different from his earlier attempt Fida. Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya. No no. It is Pallavi-Chay. They both lived in their roles. Songs especially Ey pilla and Sarangadariya soundings are well dealt by Pawan Ch, the music director. Also, Background score in climax scenes lifted them. Climax needs a special mention here. All artists performances (Devayani's, Pallavi's, her granny, of course heroic emotional fight scene of Chay ( which are rare in Kammula's movies), Chay mother's,  Uttej and Grey character portrayed by Rajiv Kanakala are compelling and hits the audience. 

Dialogues like.. 

1) Meerantha inthe..

2) Na meeda pette drushti, ne koduki meeda pedithe na bathuku bagundedi 

3) Chachededo thelchkuni chaddam stand out!

"Meerantha inthe" alone spoke volumes about our so inherently inculcated castist feelings from childhood. Director conveyed a lot with that one dialogue. 

A director's success lies in writing the characters from our surroundings and in making them appeal very realistic. Sekhar Kammula always does it better and he does more better here. Mom and son characters were written so so beautifully. Mother Eswari Rao's character hits the right chord with every son. After fitness center inauguration, chay's character excelled in expressing his Love for two beautiful women of his life.

Later Pallavi holding his hands and dancing with him conveys her return of love for him. 

The director has weaved emotional romantic  sequence so well before the Ey pilla song. I waited and waited for this song since start of the movie and it only appeared in 2nd half because for me it is not Sarangadariya it is Ey pilla, the song I loved most in this movie. The best part in Ey Pilla is Lyrics sync with picturisation, also drone shots stand out here. I remember Sekhar using drone shots in Fida US scenes too. I got the entire song's meaning except "padugu pekaa malle". 

Ningina mabbulu iche bahumathi nelana kanipisthunde.. 

Maare needalu geese..

Thele bommalu choode !!

Soothing Music with meaningful lyrics has made this Ey pilla so so special ! 

Yes, Sekhar is evolving; his next is a thriller with Dhanush k raja and hoping for Leader-2 soon because Indian politics are still the same konadam,ammudupovadam, free bies ivvadam. 

Thank you Kammula for being so rooted and for making responsible films; you are an inspiration sir👍

To the Messiah of our family !

Welcome to the world of silence aka Welcome to the Dr. Phani Bhushan Ivaturi's room. 

If silence is art; he is artist in it. 

If talk less; work more is age-old quote. 
No talk; only work is his quote. 

Being Silent in tough situations helps one to make better decisions and it is one of the first prerequisites to be "the good doctor". Also, doctor's listening to health concerns of patients lifts the morale and it helps for quick recovery. And he is gifted with both these qualities. And I knew I screwed him up many a times with my half baked medico-illogical questions. 

To be the only doctor in a large family is a tough job for any doctor.(another reason for you to marry a doctor girl ASAP).
And that too, if the family has many elderly it is a bit,bit more tough job. His doctorial skills are catered to almost all the elders in our family and near-by friends families. Sadly, he is almost taken granted for all the second opinions and we seldom call him for general talks (sorry dude) .

Here is we, Wishing you the best birthday and may the destiny shower you with all the goods and fill up the vacant better-half position very soon !

Ee vaaram Visheshalu -1

Hi ra Kasi.!

Ela unnav Ra ?

Naku bore kodthundi 

Ee week target entante.. time ki office work complete chesi .. man's search for meaning of life book complete cheyali. 

Na may 10th varaku isolation repati tho avthundi. So I hope I din't get covid again. My father is getting more cough these days. So I need to check him on spirometer exercise for a total of 30 mins in three sittings a day. 

I also hope that this week I won't get to here any covid cases in my relatives/friends/colleagues.

I really hope so bcoz all my people have either stopped going out or taking precautions more seriously.

And last week, I got stuck to a mass sanskrit song from chatrapathi which kept me going. I worked playing the song on loop. Learnt lyrics (yet to decipher its meaning) and sang without spending much time on it. Reason being I still have some sort of throat pain, worried about covid reinfection I wore N95 and sang with it. 😷🎶. 

So Avi.. ee vaaram visheshalu... 

(Work from home aka lockdown is making me lose myself. To get myself on track I will talk to me like this every week. )

Unta mari ..

Yours, 

Ka.Vi.D
