Shyam Singha Roy Review

Shyam Singha Roy Review

Telugu360 Rating : 3.5/5

Story :

Vasudev (Nani) is a wannabe film maker who makes a a successful short film ‘Varnam’. Thrilled with this success he works to make a regular movie hoping it becomes a blockbuster. He hires Kirthi as the heroine. A brake to his dreams comes when he is accused by a prominent publisher of a copy right violation stating that he made his short film copying from their 1970’ story. During the legal proceedings Vasudev argues that his is an original story. Clinical hypnosis reveals Vasu’s past life as Shyam Singha Roy. Rest of the movie showcases the Singha Roy – devadasi Mytreyi’s love story from 1970’s era with string connecting to Vasu’s current life.

Analysis:
The movie starts off as a story of an aspiring film maker, with artistic touch especially noticed with the songs. ‘Tara’, ‘Edo Edo’ songs are visually rich. Uppena star Krithi Shetty is a sight to watch – her beauty blends well with esthetics in these songs. With light comedy interlaced the first half is a decent time pass and ends with the introduction of Shyam Singha Roy.

Shyam, born to a Bengali father and a Telugu mother, is a social reformer and rebel poet in Kharagpur. He falls in love with the Mythreyi (Sai Pallavi), a devadasi, and liberates her from the clutches of the oppressive feudal system. The second of the movie is a visual poetry. The aerial shots following the lead couple’s moonlight romance are outstanding. Sanu Varghese’s camera work is stunning and deserves a special mention.

The songs ‘Pranavalaya’, ‘Nela Raju ni – Ila Rani ni kalipindhi’ are shot very well. Sai Pallavi excelled at dancing and her expressions in the classical dances are beautiful. She is a great asset and a perfect casting choice for the Mytreyi role. Mickey J Mayor’s songs and background score are very good and gel well with the movie narration.

Director Rahul Sankirtyan ‘s screenplay connects the dots well to showcase the reincarnation concept. Especially impressive is the highlighting the importance of Vasu’s short film to the core story. This young director surprised the audience with his wonderful story telling and visual narration. The producers have spent a very good budget as is required for this kind of a partial periodic film.

Performances:

Nani is natural in his role of Vasudev. In his second role as the rebellious Shyam Singha Roy, he delivers a commanding performance. This film is yet another milestone in his acting career. Sai Pallavi’s is perfect for the crucial devasai role. Her performance and dance are a delight to watch. Krithi Shetty got a reasonable role, and she is lively.

Positives :
• A fresh, interesting story
• Excellent direction and use of technical crafts
• Nani & Sai Pallavi ‘s splendid performances
• Emotionally rich second half
• Poetic visuals, good Lyrics
• Very good songs
• Good screen Play

Negatives :

• Slow pace

Verdict:

Shyam Singha Roy is a superbly made emotional film that deserves an all-round appreciation. Director Rahul delivers an engaging and poetic love saga with supreme production values. Second half has an arresting story which is a class of its own. This film is recommended as a good watch for the families, class film lovers. A well-crafted film in Telugu Industry after a long pause.

Shyam Singha Roy Is Not Just About Devadasi System: Sai Pallavi

0

Natural Star Nani’s Shyam Singha Roy is all set for a grand release worldwide on December 24th in four South Indian languages. The period portions and Sai Pallavi’s character from promos are increasing the expectations on the film. Sai Pallavi’s classical dance number, Pranavalaya has gone viral.

The actress plays a Devadasi in the movie. “While reading the script of Shyam Singha Roy, I liked the fact that it is more about the psychology of Devdasis instead of saying how to do the character. I did this movie in terms of psychology compared to other movies,” she says.

Sai Pallavi is one of the finest dancers. “Love Story is my dance film, I can say. I do not know classical dance. Rahul believed I could do it. Those who did classical dance in the song along with me were the ones with the most experience. I was so scared while dancing to that song. I am happy that people are saying I did on par with them,” the actress said about the famous Pranavalaya song.

She also clarified that it is not entirely about the Devadasi system. “I have read in school about the Devadasi system. Devadasis were initially servants of God. It was later changed. We did not show them completely, we just took as much as we wanted for our movie. This is not a film made entirely on the Devadasi system. I’m ready to do a complete movie about them,” the actress told.

Sai Pallavi is also in complete praise of Nani. “We do not have many scenes together in MCA. So, I have behaved just like how I have always been. Our characters in the film are so intense. The MCA comfort helped there. We used to talk a lot while performing those characters,” she said.

She also reserves praise for the young director, Rahul Sankrityan. “He has a lot of clarity. He knows exactly what he wants and what he does not want in this story. The first scene I and Nani shot in the film is the last scene between our two characters in the movie. We do not know how to do it. But he explained to us with ease. We just followed him,” Sai Pallavi revealed.

Telugu hit ‘Love Story’ to premiere on AHA OTT soon

0

Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi-starrer ‘Love Story’ became a decent hit at the theaters. After being postponed multiple times, the Sekhar Kammula directorial was screened in theatres on September 24.

‘Love Story’, however, surprised all by collecting a huge amount at the theatres. Keeping in mind the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on movies and their theatrical screenings, ‘Love Story’s performance can be deemed satisfactory.

Now the makers of ‘Love Story’ have zeroed in on 6.00 pm, October 22, for the OTT release of this intense drama. AHA is to stream this movie.

Telugu’s only OTT video streaming channel AHA had bought the rights of ‘Love Story’ earlier, as there was such hype around its release. Now that the movie is to get streamed, it is expected that ‘Love Story’ would bag ample TRPs for the channel.

‘Love Story’ was released on more than 1,000 screens worldwide, which is still one of the smallest numbers for a biggie. The movie collected a whopping amount of nearly Rs 7 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on the first day of its release alone.

‘Love Story’ comes with a social message related to child sex abuse and caste-based society. The film received positive reviews and critical acclaim. Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, in particular, received much positivity regarding their performances.

‘ Love Story ‘ Review – A Sensible One !

Love Story Movie Review

Love Story Movie Review

Akkineni  Naga Chaitanya is all set to test his luck with ‘Love Story’, a romantic entertainer that is directed by Sekhar Kammula. Sai Pallavi is the leading lady and the film is said to have been inspired by a real-life incident that left the Telugu states in shock. The music album is on the top of the music charts and Pawan composed the music, background score. The single ‘Saarangadariya’ is a chartbuster all over. ‘Love Story is produced by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and it is having a record release all over. Here is  Review :

Telugu360 Rating 3/5:

 Story :

Revanth and Mounika, from the village of Armoor (Nizamabad), live in Hyderabad chasing big dreams. Unable to find herself a break in the software industry, Mounika settles for a dance trainer job in Revanth’s Zumba dance academy. Predictably, they fall in love. Revanth, a Dalit Christian, and Mounika, a Patel, now face the age-old hurdles of being from different castes, shattering their dreams of getting married. More problems arise as dark events from the past are revealed. The movie takes us through this journey of star-crossed lovers as they try to eventually achieve their dreams.

Analysis:
Sensible Director Sekhar Kammula picked a complex story this time, staying away from his usual appetites. The way he established the caste-based status differences in rural Telangana society is smart. He made some bold moves in this movie with the sensitive subjects while taking utmost care to not cross the lines of decency. Most Telugu movies stereotype certain castes with unpolished looks. None of that with Sekhar Kammula at the helm. The role of the self-confident, charming Revanth is played by Naga Chaitanya with ease. Sekhar’s critics who call out his favoring the female lead characterizations would be happy with Mounika – a well-balanced young woman who knows her mind and her vulnerabilities. Sai Pallavi is very bubbly and is the perfect fit for Mounika. Hero’s mother character played by Easwari Rao is another author-backed role in this film.

Love Story is not your regular run off the mill youthful, cheerful love story. Shades of darkness are introduced by halftime and turns darker as the movie progresses to pre-climax. The first half entertains adequately, some feel-good moments in the second half. The locations are authentic, production values are adequate. Monuika’s back-story is hard-hitting, can be heavy and uncomfortable to some audiences. No matter, it is one of society’s darker issues, the Love Story team deserves appreciation for having the guts to bring this up and weave it into the movie.

On the flip side, a few points seem redundant, and the film  loses momentum in a few places. Love Story scores low from the youth audience’s point of view. If not for Kammula’s presentation skills, this is could have dropped into the overly saturated caste vs love movie.

Performances:
Chay did great as Revanth, carries the film on his shoulders. Sai Pallavi excelled as Mounika, a bubbly girl, a dreamer with trauma. She is a great asset to the film. Eeswari Rao, Devayani played mother characters and they did well. Rajiv Kanakala is just okay, Uttej played a crucial small role.

Songs:
The already blockbuster audio songs are good on screen as well. Music Director Pawan has done a fabulous job. ‘Evo Evo Kalale’ stands out, ‘Winner Winner Bro’ is nice, ‘Nee Chitram Choosi ’ ‘Saaranga Dariya’ song-dance sequence could have been better. With the trailer such a hit, one would expect more in the full song, no luck there.

Positives:

• Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi solid performances
• Blockbuster songs, good picturization
• Sekhar Kammula’s trademark sensible dialogues
• Some entertaining moments
• Clean film

Negatives:
• Slow paced at times
• Serious theme is difficult for the commercial audience

Verdict:

‘Love Story’ is entertaining in its first half, has few pleasant moments in the second half. The last 30 minutes get into a dark theme and are heavy on emotions. Youth viewers might find it a bit difficult because of the slow pace, but the good songs go a long way to compensate for this section of the audience. Overall, a good watch for a family audience and for Sekhar Kammula, Chay, and Sai Pallavi fans.
