Drama In The Nuptial Room
This is an experimental film in the sense that the entire drama runs just with three characters - Mogudu, Pellam and Dongodu. Venky, who has had initial success revealing plenty of new ideas, this time writes and makes this film. But this might be approved as a novel approach, but as a film it is more like a TV serial, in the sense of killing time just because there is no material to fill the scheduled time. Even then the film has run just for a couple of hours. It is divided with an interval one with a couple in the nuptials room and the other after the entry of the third character 'Dongodu' played by Brahmanandam.
Though the concept is good, the story line prepared for this is thoughtless and lacks imagination. In fact the concept is interesting, but the execution is bad. There is a deliberate attempt on the part of the filmmakers to interpolate scenes with some deliberate double meaning dialogue. This may entertain a certain section of audience, but it harms the film and drops it from the view of the general public. An experimental film should always be perfect. You can add some humor but not tasteless talk.
This is the shortest story ever. A just married couple enter into the nuptial room. Sriram (Raja) is anxious to have union with his wife Satyabhama (Sriya). But the girl keeps him at bay saying the 'muhurtam' time, as her grandmother said, is 12 midnight. As they go on talking some sense and more nonsense, a thief enters the room, at a time when the power is off. This Dongudu (Brahmanandam) goes straight under the cot and starts his own oblique remarks. It is more like commentary on what they say and discuss. Here too the director-cum-writer Venky resorted to aimless prattle. One hoped the film take a different shape, timed with the entry of the character of Dongodu. But this does not happen. The film is abruptly closed after saying it is time for their union.
The only relief is the songs. The new composer seems to have taste and musical sense. All the songs are well tuned. The tunes are better than the lyrical text. Camera work is limited to drawing room drama. The film is inexpensive for it is shot mostly in the bedroom, but for a few flashback scenes. |
