The past few weeks have seen the release
of similar movies like: Maduve Agona Ba, Gatti Mela and in the same
genre comes Andhra Hendti!. The film is about a Telugu girl who falls in love
with a Kannada boy and they end up getting married. The hero has a strict mother and he
along with his two brothers are scared even at the sight of her. The hero i.e.
Madan |
|
Mallu is a singer; ends up marrying an Andhra girl called
Ramya Krishna after meeting her at a National Level Singing contest. But his mother is not
ready to accept the marriage. Further, how they keep their marriage a secret, how the
truth is revealed, and how they convince his mother to accept the girl forms the
essence of the story. Whether the hero succeeds or not forms the second half of the movie.
There is one clue for audience, those who know Telugu would find it easier to watch the
movie, since throughout the movie, the heroine-Andhra Hendti speaks only in Telugu. |
|
Overall the movie lacks quality in the department
of direction, cinematography, editing and is packed with fights, emotions, comedy and
romance. Some scenes are so confusing that it leaves the audience wondering whether to
laugh at them or take them seriously. In this movie 50% of the conversation is in Telugu,
and one begins to wonder whether it is a Telugu movie or a Kannada movie.
Ramyakrishna (Heroine), Jayanthi (Heroine's mother) and Thriller Manju never speak in
Kannada. The first half is loud with nonsense comedy, along with some unwanted
scenes that do not go well with the storyline.

In the cast department, Madan Mallu (although a
newcomer) has done a decent and good job of playing the role of a hero. His dialogue
delivery is neat and pronunciation good. But his make-up is not upto the mark and he
needs to improve it in his future movies. Ramya Krishna, who is acting in Kannada film
Yaare Nee Abhimani with Shivaraj Kumar after long break has done well as a talkative girl
in Telugu. Jayanthi had done a creditable job. Ananthnag's role is wasted. Thriller
Manju's stunts are good for his fans. Doddanna, Karibasavaiah, Tennis Krishna |
|
and Mimicry Jayaram have done their bit for the comedy
sequences. Shivamaya's (Music Director) music is average. He has taken many songs from
popular folk songs of North Karnataka. There is nothing new in the story
line. Overall the movie is not bad but the audience can watch it only once. |
