Producer turned director who made a heart touching love story like ‘Vaana’ has once again donned the role of a director to launch his son Sumanth Ashwin as an actor with ‘Tunnega Tuneega’.

STORY:

Karthik Ramaswamy (Sumanth Ashwin) and Nidhi (Rhea Chakravorthy) grow up together hating each other. In between Nidhi flies to US to pursue her education while Karthik aspire to become a top dancer. Karthik happen to be the son of Madurai Ramaswamy (Prabhu) a chef who is treated as more than a friend by Ravindra Babu (Naga Babu), Nidhi’s father and a top business magnate.

Ravindra Babu organizes a party to celebrate the occasion of Nidhi’s return from US and also his Dad (Vijayachander) sashtipoorti. Love blossoms between Karthik and Nidhi but her cousins play spoil sport and gets them separated. How Karthik emerge winner winning his love and becoming a star dancer has to be watched on silver screen.

PERFORMANCES:

Sumanth Ashwin showed good ease in dances and acting. He expressed quite well with his eyes many times and looked cute in his acting. His dance performance balancing the coke can with his feet and hands stands out. There are not much stunts in the film except for one fight to show his talent. He is the future lover boy of tollywood.

Rhea Chakravorthy looked a misfit and miscast for the role of a teenage girl. She looked elder to Sumanth through out the movie. She need to improve her acting and expressions. Prabhu, Nagababu, Shayaji Shinde performed their roles to perfection while MS. Narayana, Chandramohan and others did not have much scope to perform. Parachuri Venkateswara Rao as Sumanth’s grand father delivered a few punch dialogues to liven the environment in the film.

ANALYSIS:

Movie starts with Dr James(Sayaji Shinde) telling the flash back story to the priest(Chandra Mohan). The first half of the movie offers lot of love and hilarious episodes between Karthik, Nidhi and their families. Love chemistry between the lead pair has been shot very well and so are the emotional scenes.

The way Karthik tries to woo his childhood enemy Nidhi is impressive and when Nidhi is ready to express her feelings to Karthik, pre climax mode starts. Family members of Nidhi, who doesn’t like Karthik, creates misunderstanding and portray him as a culprit infront of everyone. Pre climax is heavy with some emotional quotient between Naga Babu and Prabhu’s families.

Director MS Raju tried to  balance emotional and love scenes equally in the second half but faltered  in some scenes Second heroine Manisha enters the scene to give a twist for the ongoing love story which is a routine move by the director. Though the entire plot seems to be convincing, audience will come to conclusion about what the end would be.

TECHNICALS:

Karthik Raja’s music stands out in the film. Most of the songs are melodious and keeps one glued to the screens. ‘Tuniga Tuniga’ song stands out. Background score matched with the tempo of the film. S. Gopal Reddy used his vast experience in cinematography and captured beautiful locations at the shooting spots to attract movie lovers. Editing by KV. Krishna Reddy could have been little better. Production values in the film by Maganti Ramji and Padmini arts are quite good.

Final Analysis:

For a love entertainer to be successful it is important to have the right kind of music and the required padding support to appeal to the audience. Both were missing in this one. While the first half tries to go on a lighter vein and brings few funny moments, the interval bang was decent.

The second half however fails to generate that kind of interest and looks quite dislodged. Overall, this is a film which is good in production values but not so in terms of content and substance. At the box office, this will fizzle out.
