Movie Review - Ma Aayana Chantipilladu

Sivaji and Subburaju are brothers. Both of them grow up in the same village but are arch rivals as the latter is born out of an illegal relationship. Subburaju is waiting for an opportune moment to wreak vengeance as he doesn’t get the same treatment as his brother and is often seen as settling scores with him. There is yet another plot, a love story that runs on a parallel line. Sivaji and Meera jasmine are cousins, both are in love and just the day before they get married, a woman enters Sivaji’s life. Subburaju complicates his brother’s marital life and from thereon it is an unending saga of misunderstanding, dispute and forgiveness.

The story is not simple as it looks to be. Also the title has no relation and bears absolutely no meaning to the story. Infact it is beyond comprehension as to how the hero cheats on his wife consciously or unconsciously, begets two children and still is termed innocent by the family. The second half of the film Is too dramatic and the dialogues are rife with forced sentimentality. Sangeeta fails to even bring out a proper expression and looks out of sync with her role. Meera jasmine has lost weight, she looks better but is given a lackluster role.

Venu Madhav get’s to play a dominant role running throughout the film and Chandramohan is given a flippant and a strange character. It’s Sivaji all the way but he is stuck in a story where he can’t do justice to his role, neither innocent or mature. The sentiment not only fails to evoke tears but tickles one at times. The director has chosen an archaic plot, the story moves in different directions leaving the audience with no clue to react. This film is totally aimed at the front benchers. Technically not much to carry home
