Thanu Nenu did not have a competition this Friday. Though Size Zero with a huge star cast released in around 1500 theatres, there is not good publicity for the film as the second half of the story turned out to be a documentary. Knowing that the crowd isn’t trickling in, the producer has announced a one kilo gold scheme to attract viewers. Thanu Nenu that had Avika Gor and Santosh Sobhan as the lead pair and made with a modest budget also is not living up to the expectations. As the hero was a son of a Late director, many stars Tweeted or spoke for his debut film but that too did not help. The hero doesn’t have the looks or skills to carry the film on his shoulders, also he looks more like a side-hero. His unconventional features will take time to register in the minds of the viewers. Ram Mohan the producer has a forte and i.e production, he should not have diverted his attention to direction. What began as a hero’s hatred for USA turned into a personal grouse by the end of the story. It lacked clarity and strength. The script was floating for two years and by the time it reached the market, it did not have any selling factor.
