Mr Perfect Movie Review

Prabhas is back with his third consequent summer film Mr.Perfect (after Billa and Darling). He pairs up with his lady luck Kajal and Chubby Tapaasi this time. Mr.Perfect is directed by Dasaradh who delivered a cool hit "Santosham" a decade back, while ace producer Dil Raju produces it.

Let’s see how perfect this flick is…

Plot (Not a Spoiler): Vikki (Prabhas), a video game designer strongly believes in just winning rather than sacrifice. Although good at heart, He has that “don’t care attitude” when it comes to fight for his belief’s. Now he has to decide between two girls of his life.

First among them is sweet girl Priya (Kajal), Doctor by profession who loves her cute world in her small village but she loves to change her ways for her love. Then it is vivacious Bhuvana (Taapsi) who exactly thinks like Vikki with perfectly matching attitude.

Performances…

Prabhas stepped into a slightly different zone with “Darling”, may be to get that family boy tag just like what Venkatesh did in past. And now he looks more comfortable in “Mr.Perfect”, he understands that subtlety and performs way better. He looks cool throughout thanks to styling. His improved diction needs a big applause especially in the climax scene. Simply saying, He stands apt to the title…

Kajal…Gorgeous might be a routine word to use, but no second thought for she looks stunningly beautiful in this movie. She steals our hearts with honest portrayal of Priya. And her chemistry with Prabhas just enhances her presence. Kajal should seriously look forward to endorse few saree brands

Taapsi is good choice for the bubbly role of Bhuvana. One could see the improvement in her acting abilities though there’s long way to go. She has dubbed for herself for the first time, and thus she scores some brownie points there.

Viswanath, PrakashRaj, Nazer, Shiyaji Shindey and Murali Mohan did their good in rendering some lengthy dialogues, which are fine at most of the times. Brahmanandam, Raghubabu and Bharath tried their best to make us laugh and let’s give them some pass marks for it.

Both the halves are perfect…

First half dedicates enough screen space and setting, for cute romance to blossom between the lead pair. Village atmosphere with refreshing lavish green fields, pleasant ponds and natural beauty in full swing visually entices us. With songs that are purely situational and awesome chemistry of Prabhas and Kajal, this half moves very smoothly to bring us to the slightly conflicting (of course predictable) interval block.

Second half introduces Taapsi and brings the audience back to the foreign locales. Director comes up with yet another family setting here too and spares some time to build up another new plot here. With the presence of biggies like PrakashRaj and viswanath, this half has plenty of emotions and some nicely crafted moments to satisfy the audience. The way the director unites two different plots and driving us to climax is interesting part.

Both the halves are good in their own way.

Technical Departments

Vijay K Chakravarthy, who worked for Orange, Bommarillu etc does superb job here. Every frame looks crystal clear. I loved the “Aakasam Baddaliana" song and Also an introduction fight of Prabhas in swimming pool. As expected, DeviSriPrasad’s compositions look good on screen rather than just the audio. Background score is also perfectly fine.

Dasaradh, who gave us Santosham in the past, almost tries his best in ‘Mr. Perfect’.  The basic theme that says “It’s not either hobbies or tastes that make a marriage successful, but it’s all in sacrificing for our love” is convincingly delivered. Abburi Ravi comes up with adequate dialogues and frequent sparks.

What’s Imperfect?

Yes, we might feel the references from Orange (Heroes characterization) and Bommarillu (setting in second half and climax), but what makes difference is Screenplay by Hari which flows smoothly and glues the audience till the end, though what we see is partly predictable. So Mr.Perfect is not completely perfect in a way it borrows the style and many scenes from many movies of past. And way the emotions are built up looks artificial at times especially in the climax where everyone one after the other, lifts the hero saying “Nee Valle…nee valle”.

And if you notice in second half, few scenes are canned away with background wallpaper may be to limit the budget in bringing all the people overseas. 

Final Say….

 Perfect chemistry of Prabhas-Kajal-Taapsi and presence of huge supporting cast and absolutely perfect cinematography that makes every frame look rich, outwits the minor flaws and loopholes. One thing for sure is Mr.Perfect will definitely have some cheers on your faces while we leave the theatre for its positive feel and is obviously one big choice for it being super clean and green film with zero vulgarity. Like Prabhas learns to sacrifice towards the end, audiences have to sacrifice the novelty factor.

Rating

3.25/5 I don’t mind giving a quarter more for it is really feel good film of this summer. Go watch it if you are looking for decent entertainer. 

Teenmar Movie Review

Summer is always special for Pawan Kalyan fans…He made them “Kushi” in one summer...He did “Jalsa” with his fans in the other…and now he is back to play “TeenMaar” this summer. Pawan Kalyan’s latest flick “TeenMaar” remade from “Love Aaj Kal” is directed by Jayanth C paranji. Trisha and Krithi Karbanda plays the female leads…

Plot:

Michael Velayudam (Pawan) is happy going chap who enjoys the life to the fullest. He believes in instant love and just lives the moment. He is unable to realize the true love of his life.Arjun Palwai (pawan) who lived 30 years back in the past is the man of ideals. He is the man of heart…He believes strongly his will to marry the girl he liked and fights for her.

“TeenMaar” talks about the variation in the love stories of these two completely different personalities who lived in different generations…

Performances…

The biggest specialty of TeenMaar is it celebrates Pawans first movie in double role. I guess that should be greatest gift to his fans to see Pawan in not one but two different roles. TeenMaar is Pawan’s show all the way. 

Pawan is more comfortable as Michael. His ease and very good comedy timing in lover boy roles is once again revisited. He takes us a decade back. He also shed his inhibitions while locking his lips with that of Trisha and made the audience whistle. But dances should have been better. 

Pawan as Arjun is simply superb. The Long Kurtas suited him very well…and especially one will love him in “Vayyarala Jaabilli” song very much. But again had it been little massier, it would have enticed fans very much.

Trisha steps into Deepika padukone’s shoes so effortlessly. She looks cute. She acted well in few emotional scenes. Her chemistry with Pawan is cool. Let me tell you, she looks stunning in the bridal attire.

Krithi Karbanda who debuted in “Boni” earlier suits the role of Vasumati. Her face is ever fresh and homely. Hair style should have been consistent. Donna who played blonde girl is good too.

Paresh Rawal played the important role. He narrates the Arjun Palwai’s story. Sonu sood as Trisha’s fiancé…Mukesh Rishi as father of Krithi have minute roles.

Ali did cameo for a while...Other guy who did short films like “Tokkalo Love story” etc is seen as sidekick of Pawan in flashback.

Movie Flow…

Movie starts with Michael’s playboy acts. Michael (Pawan) and Meera (Trisha) fall in love and even part very quickly. It becomes interesting with the introduction of Arjun’s Palwai character. The beautiful song “Vayyarala jaabilli” satisfies the appetite. Thus flow jumbles more in between two love stories. The shift is smooth and convincing and makes the first half decent enough. What is that seriously missing is Trivikram’s pun.

There are few hiccups in second half. Michael and Meera are in utter confusion whether they are in love or not. Thus they irritate the audience for a while as we don’t really get what they really want. At the same time, very less time is spent in establishing the Arjun Palwai’s story. So audience won’t connect to it much. Song on Shiva "Sri Ganga" is shot very well. Again Climax picks up very good. The scene where the Michael realizes his love and thus returns back is done very well. The tempo that is carried in last 30 minutes is absolutely fine and that makes up for the initial hiccups in second half.

Good Things...

Comeback of Pawan…And universal appearance of Pawan in entire film and his superb performance. All the heroines looked good and apt. Songs are all placed at right spots. Manisharma’s music and back ground score are decent. Production values while re-creating the locations in Kasi in yester year and while picturizing the songs are excellent.  Few scenes “Pawan wishing Trisha on her wedding” “Fighting scene near the Train in Flashback”, “Pre-climax scene where Pawan realizes his love” deserves applause.

What’s Disappointing…

Having Trivikram in credits and not having enough witty dialogues or hilarious moments is a big disappointment. Movie surely confuses the audiences, who have not seen LAK during the initial reels of second half. Those scenes between Trisha and sonu sood are utterly spoiled. And no proper justice is done in etching Arjun Palwai/old character. Thus that part excels only in the two songs in the flashback. None of the other characters in the movie are established well

Comparison with Original Love Aaj Kal

Comparisons with the original, naturally arises when it is a remake. In that way, Jayanth who successfully remade Sankardada MBBS does reasonably good job here too. He does not deviate much for current love story. And he brings up little different and appealing pre-climax. But few scenes like the confusion in characters may not gel well with Telugu audience. Rishi Kapoor’s role is beautifully used for time travel in original, but Paresh Rawal’s roles ends up mere story teller here.

Final Say…

Is it not great to see Pawan speak Italian? …donning two roles…romancing three girls!!! TeenMaar is definitely a big treat for Pawan’s fans this summer. But still there is space for more homework to make it work natively well. In movie there is a dialogue where elder Pawan says to Mukesh Rishi pointing his son “Veedini mottam manchodigaa anna maarchu..lekunte complete ga cheda dobbu…ilaa madhyalo atu itu kaakunda cheyyoddu”…In a same way TeenMaar movie too falls in between superb and mediocre movie.

Rating

Seriously tricky part :) 3.25 +0.25/5 The rating for a decent approach and inherent message of love and of course Rocking Pawan! Definitely worth a watch. Summer time and Pawan's movie...sure a hit.
