After a huge round of promotions, Venky Mama has finally hit the screens today. Lets see whether it lives up to all the hype or not.

Story:

Military Naidu (Venkatesh) fights with his parents and brings his sister’s son Karthik (Chay Akkineni) after her death. He becomes everything for Karthik takes care of him from childhood onwards. As time.passes by, Karthik falls in love with Haarika (Raashi Khanna). This does not go well with her dad played by Rao Ramesh. He creates a small dispute between the Mama and Alludu and gets them divided. But the actual reason for Miltary Naidu’s rift with his Alludu is something else. What is that reason? and it how will be solved forms the rest of the story.

Plus Points:

The chemistry between Venky and Chay looks adorable on screen. They light up the screen during all the fights and songs and provide good entertainment for fans and family audience. Venkatesh leads from the front and is very good in his comedy and emotional avatar.

Chay also does well in his role and gives able support to Venky. All his comedy scenes with Hyper Aadi are pretty good. For a change, Payal Rajput gets an interesting role and does well. Raashi Khanna is also good as Chay’s love interest.

The first half of the film is pretty good as there is comedy, songs, and well packaged ingredients which works well. Nasser was also good in his limited role and so was Rao Ramesh. Prakash Raj was neat as the military chief.

The songs of the film are also pretty good and have been placed at perfect areas. The production values the film are pretty good.

Minus Points:

The director etches the bond between Mama and Alludu quite well in the first half but does not create a solid conflict point for their break up which looks a bit odd in the film.

Looks like the director Bobby has ran out of ideas in the second half as the army backdrop is good but has not been handled well. The climax looks illogical and is rushed up as the makers did not have much to show.

Yet another main drawback is that the emotion between Mama and Alludu is not at all elevated well in the second half. Some more drama and emotional scenes would have made a lot of impact.

Technical Aspects:

Production values of the film are very good as the film has rich visuals. The camerawork is impressive as it showcases the village atmosphere and military set up in a nice manner. Thaman and his music score is quite impressive. His BGM was also good. The dialogues written are good and evoke nice laughs. Production design of the film is quite impressive.

Coming to the director Bobby, he has done a good job of handling both Venky and Chay well. He gives them equal screen presence and extracts good performances from them. Had he added more emotional scenes between the two heroes in the second half things would have been good. But he lets go of the climax and ends the film in a dull note.

Verdict:

On the whole, Venky Mama is a typical film drama which has a great premise and good star cast. The first half is impressive as both Chay and Venky create good entertainment. But things fall flat in the second half and disappoint a bit. The film is aimed at the single screen audience and will please them.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
