Chintakayala Ravi-CAMPuter engineer

Synopsis: I am writing this review after reading a lot of negative reviews about this film...I went in to the film keeping in mind the hattrick hits delivered by venky and was also expecting a laughaton considering the title of the film.Did the film reach my expectations???No,not at all..Was it a bad film???No but a typical venky movie...Is it going to be a commercial success???Absolutely.......Venky will score yet another hit and its a pity because it is definitely a routine film...

Plot:Chintakayala Ravi (Venkatesh) has the unconditional love of his mom(Lakshmi) and he does anything for her.He works in a bar but bluffs home that he is working as a software engineer for his moms happiness...He is engaged to Lavs(Mamatha) and she in turns asks her friend sunitha(Anushka) to find out about Ravi.Now due to some misunderstandings sunitha misunderstands ravi and hence the marriage is cancelled...Later sunitha realizes her folly and becomes friends with ravi..What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Artists:

Venkatesh:
Brilliant as usual...His comedy timing was amazing and he was at his best in sentimental scenes...Now,he dint even shed tears in this film but still managed to evoke pathos which is only possible for an actor like him.His costumes were amazing..he was looking a little old in this film but was still looking handsome....Without Venkatesh the film would have been rejected outright and bombed miserably at the box office.This is a perfect example of how one actor can elevate the film from the dumps...I sincerely wish he does roles which do justice to his amazing talent....

Anushka/mamata mohandas/lakshmi:

Anushka did a very nice role for a change....She is looking
good and decent and it is a real treat to see her in such a decent role...Mamatha is very good with her expressions and she is a pristine beauty....Now, Lakshmi replayed her murari role but with better conviction...the way she said camputer engineer was very very cute




Others:

Others did not have much to do in this film...Nikitha was damn cute in the film with her own dubbing.Venu was effective in a short role..NTR overacted in his appearance...Brahmi was wasted..So was everybody else....



Technical:
Yogesh:Directed was good in parts...Actually u cant fault him for this film...He directed the film adequately according to the script...He was not amazing but he handled a few scenes quite well....The romantic scenes between anushka and venky were picturized very well....But he disappointed with the emotional scenes as he was not able to bring about the emotional scenes convincingly....He was not able to picturize the climax with conviction....

Kona Venkat:Now, kona venkat has prepared a nice story for venkatesh...it was a masterstroke to put in mother sentiment in this film as it was the most saleable part for the film...But his screenplay was horrible and dialogues bad....He borrowed most of the scenes from old bollywood movies..the first half hour was very nice but then after it was all down hill....Actually chintakayala ravi needed the consistency of trivikram srinivas in the dialogues department....this is where the movie was lagging when compared to previous venky films...Also, the seperate comedy track between brahmi and venu was uncalled for..Scenes copied from Mr.bean and the popular video on internet(kitikilu) were also uncalled for....

Others:Vishal and shekar were quite good with their tunes but the reason why they have been signed for this film is intriguing..Anybody else in this industry wud have easily given this music..Mani sharma was good with hi re-recording until the climax...But,he screwed up everythin there as he used the om shanti om (sad song) tune...Cinematography was very good and choreography was adequate....

Best scenes:
1)Whenever Venky says "ni anandam kosam edaina chesta" to his mom,it was pure bliss...Kona venkat can be excused for this simple yet effective dialogue
2)the comedy scene at venky doors interview and imm the exam scene was amazing...
3)the scene where venky says"bangaram,na gundello petti chusukunta.Chala?" was amazing..Any girl would fall flat for this dialogue...though copies the scene came out very well

Bad scenes:
1)the walmart scene was very ill concieved
Rest of the film was not actually very bad but was very boring as it was very routine

Final Analysis:
Well, the film was not bad but definitely boring for most part....the first half hour was enjoyable..the film goes downhill from then till the interval...The second half was okay and it was typical venky stuff...

Bottomline:Venky leka pote chintakaya chitiki poyedi
