The sun,the moon,the earth,the sky,the water,the fire and the air we breathe are all our relatives..
A human who cares for good and who shares a little of what is his..is also relative to all mankind..
The movie begins with this sweet lyric (background song for titles) and movie succeeds in passing that great message..
Chandra Siddard who directed heart touching “Aa naluguru” has directed this latest movie “Andari Banduvayya”.Let us check how he made this moral commercially viable..
Story : Sarwanand is simply guy like any of us…but he puts into action his ideals .He is always there when people surrounding need some help.He comes across Padmapriya the girl next door .She is sweet but a miser ..may be because she need to bear burden of her two sisters and mother.
When sarwanand takes her to his village,She is simply bowled by the goodness of his father who sacrifices all his wealth for sake of his village.
What are the lessons, paddu gets from the village?Where does the noble virtues lead this young couple to? Is the movie all about..
Actors : Sarwanand is the one real hero for accepting such a great scripts one after other.His movie catalog ”Classmates”,”Amma Cheppindi”,”Gamyam”,”Prasthanam” and now “Andari Banduvayya”..shows his evolution as an actor but not a star. Though he is overshadowed by Saikumar in Prasthanam,he gets his complete share this time. He is honest and up to the mark in every scene. Sarwanand..you can proudly claim..”Summer of 2010 is mine”
Padmapriya looked very simple in the movie.Her acting prowess is well known to tamil audience.she is there in all scenes supporting our hero.Though she looked glamorous in songs..Our telugu audience and producers look for that aura in every scene especially when it comes to the heroine.But she makes her mark.
Vijaya Krishna Naresh(Senior actor naresh recently changed his name giving due respect to her mother) acted as Sarwanand’s father. His character is in the lines of Raghuram of “aa Naluguru”. He is at his best.
Pragati as Padmapriya’s mother acted well.PavanSai is good as Sarwanand’s friend.Even his father acted well.
KrishnaBhagwan has some witty one liners.He filled in the comedy quotient.
RK(Hyderabad nawabs fame) played the role of gangster.NRI bridegroom, Paddu’s sisters are all natural.
Anand played a significant role.
Analysis:
Movie begins exploring the Sarwanands character .And paddu’s miserly antics are enjoyable.
The scenes in the village are heart touching.The entire episode is spell-bound.
There is good interval bang..watch it on screen. Most of the second half is dedicated for some love scenes. Movie looses pace for a while, but copes up at the simple but nice climax.
Heart-touching scenes:
Sarwanand going too far for helping his teacher, Each and every scene showcasing Naresh’s idealness, The warmth of villagers (Marriage sequence in the village) are all superb.
Naresh stopping the bus to see his son..I have no words..because i was nostalgic in that scene.I swear you will be too.
Emotional drama just post interval is too good.
MS Narayana episode is ok too.
The scene where Paddu seeks sarwanand’s company to cry out loudly is touching.
All in all,the moisture that is formed in our eyes speaks about the depth of those emotional scenes.
Don’t worry..there are regular comedy punches to ease the audience.
Story/Dailogues
Story and dialogues by Balabadrapatruni Ramani, a novelist are among the best of recent times. Dailogues are brilliant elevating the message.
“nuvvanni aastulu ammukunna naa aasti nuvve naanna” “Pakshulaki konchem dhanyam, pasuvulaki konchem ghraasam, manishiki konchem saayam””manam saayam cheseppudu manam padey kastam kanna..eduti vaari kallalo kanipinchey anandam goppadi”
Also witty ones like "Bommarillu..batti pattaadu"
Music by AnupRubens is excellent.No song is boring.Liston them again for wonderful lyrics by chaitanya Prasad.Title song,”Malli Malli rammani””jigi bigi chilaka” stand out.
Drawbacks:
While in Aa Naluguru, the opposition towards the ideal nature of the Protagonist has given scope for plenty of drama, Such kind of conflict is missing here.
Poor director, he has to fill some love scenes and songs in the movie for it to reach all audience.
Final Verdict:
Many audience might feel,the movie with all ideal characters is not realistic.Not their mistake!!
Yes it is a fantasy in this world where pure heart of us is stuck somewhere inside. Infact Very wonderful fantasy of nobility!! When we are accepting the movies with un-materialistic things like hero beating 100 goons,Sumos flying in air..I think we can accept such a great vision of chandrasiddard.
If you believe that bad in the movies harms the society, Then good in the movie definitely enlightens the mankind. We are waiting for many movies like this.
Rating:
No less than 4.It’s a must watch friends.One should encourage such movies so that we get much more ideal movies in future.

Excellent review buddy .. Have to see the movie as soon as possible..
nice review..:)
your posts are becoming matured gradually.. Now you seem like a real film critic. But, just do a spell check.. few spelling mistakes are there.. cant miss from a tester point of view :)
Decent review.
However, inspired/prompted by the above comment, here is some unsolicited advice:
* A rule that should never be forgotten: A reviewer is not the same as a critic!
* Spelling errors, wrong grammar, and unnecessary colors are things that need to be set right, I'd say.
* Show your respect towards director in some other way. By leaving out a part of the movie review because you respect the director is an insult to your review and is not something that the readers want in a review!
