Ala Ninnu Cheri Movie Review, Rating

Ala Ninnu Cheri is written and directed by Maresh Shivan. Coming with his story, screenplay and dialogues, the film is produced by Kommalapati Sai Sudhakar. The family entertainer today arrived at theatres. Let's find out what is the film about:

Story:

Ganesh (Dinesh Tej) hails from a basthi in a small town. He wants to become a film director. Divya (Payal Radhakrishna), the daughter of an affluent woman named Kanchu Kanakamma (Jhansi) falls in love with him. Meanwhile, a rich man (Shatru) wants to forcibly marry Divya in an arranged marriage setting. Just as Ganesh tries to realize his dreams, he comes across another woman (Hebah Patel). The triangular romance, filled with action and emotions, is what the rest of the story is about.

Performances:

Dinesh Tej of 'Hushaaru' fame is impressive. He lends credibility to the story with his range. Throughout, he is earnest. In his scenes with his onscreen mother (Kalpalatha), sidekick (Mahesh Achanta) and others (Basha and Chammak Chandra), the actor looks good.

Payal Radhakrishna is praiseworthy in the pre-interval emotional scenes. Hebah Patel brings spunk and sass to the table. Mirchi Madhavi, Kedar Shankar and others are also seen.

Analysis:

The film's premise is interesting. The classic conflict between career and love has been brought to the fore. Some of the dialogues are thought-provoking.

Chandrabose's lyrics for the songs are excellent. Music director Subash Anandh's tunes amplify the mood of the romantic tracks. The dialogues, written by the director himself, are meaningful.

By introducing a new female lead in the second half, the story takes a healthy and interesting turn. In the name of comedy, no crass dialogues and elements have been included. The 'basthi' life and ambience have been shown with authenticity.

Thumbs Up:

Storyline.
Screenplay in some scenes.
Emotions.
Central message.
Music (the songs).

Thumbs Down:

An element of predictability.

Verdict: Ala Ninnu Cheri makes for an engaging watch. Minus unnecessary elements, this humble film takes the cake for its interesting narration.

Rating:2.5/5
