Synopsis :

Doosulektha movie comes along the comedy track formula set by Srinu Vaitla. The movie entertains audience from the word go and pulls off well through the end impressing the family audience too and is a full meal offer for all comedy lovers, and worth the ticket price.

Doosukeltha  :-

The movie takes off under village back drop wherein a landlord (Kota) declines to welcome his brother’s son Sarveswara Rao (Rao Ramesh) because he comes after a long time to join the family. Sarveswara Rao comes home with his wife and little one Chinni (Alekhya, played by Lavanya).

Chinni stumbles upon Chinna (Vishnu) at school. Chinna is a brat but intends to help Chinni (her family) and engages a challenge with Kota’s grandson Pichcheswara Rao. The deal was that whosoever loses the challenge shall leave the place for 13 years. Even though the grandson loses Chinna’s father who’s a small farmer in the village anticipates the danger to his son and family from the landlord leaves the town. At this same time Chinni and her parents will be thrown out of the house by the landlord. Chinni goes into prejudiced thinking that Chinna was the reason for their grandfather to send them off the house.

Now after 12 years Chinna is a grown up dude on look out for a job and engages a deal with one TV channel director (Posani Krishna Murali) to go to minister’s house for shooting video. He sets off on the mission but escapes hurt in the mission and Alekhya (Chinni) rescues him. Our dude will start liking Alekhya and even saves her from being killed. Will Chinna and Chinni get to know of their past, will Chinna help Chinni’s family reunite with the landlord in the village form the rest of the story.

Performances:

Manchu Vishnu: This dude has matured a lot in the recent times and he knows now how to portray his strengths. Coming to dances he has stretched far and has raised bars. Undoubtedly he had essayed his role with so much ease and elan. Bottom line is that he doesn’t dominate or overshadow other characters but played like a fabulous glue sticking all of the pieces together.

Lavanya Tripathi: If there is any weakness in the movie it is this girl. She neither had good screen presence not could emote good chemistry with Vishnu. The sooner she realizes the better for her.

Brahmanandam: By now, these type of roles have become cake walk to this comedy master. As we would expect he excelled in the Veera Brahmam role and takes the lion share in rendering laughter riot to the audience. From the word go, Veera Brahmam springs into action tickling the ribs of the audience.

Kota: He is another actor who pulls off his character with so much ease making acting look so damn natural, just one more day for a seasoned artist like him.

Vennela Kishore, Bharat and Hema justified their inclusions in the comedy department.

Rao Ramesh looked and did good as Lavanya’s father.

My Analysis:

Veeru Potla, the young man at the helm had his script by heart and so has executed it with ease. Screenplay was remarkable and there are no forced fight or song sequences. He has use right blend of characters at right time and his directional skills are sensible and story execution was neat.

But hei, when all seemed so well and on track you’d see some illogical fights, I mean we know movie means fiction but come on should there be limit to that fiction?

Ali’s role surprises, was he taken for just titles sake?

And the much awaited Manchu Lakshmi’s role disappoints everyone. Come on for some few seconds of her on screen presence so mucha hype? We know Vishnu needs a break and Lakshmi’s inclusion seems a publicity gimmick.

Plus points:

Comedy

Comedy

Comedy

Flaws:

Illogical fights

Behind the Screen (Technical):

As for the technical departments, editing can be sharper and so is the camera work that’s below par. But dialogues compensate for all these deficits.

Mani Sharma’s compositions as well as the background music aren’t par with his standards and if you know him you realize that they have not come from seasoned music director like Mani sir.

Final Touch:

Doosulektha is no new story to the Telugu audience and follows the same lines of Srinu Vaitla’s formulaic comedy. Veeru Potla has the knack to pull this off so well and so entertaining from the first frame through the last. This serves as a buffet meal to the comedy movie enthusiasts. Go, hit the theaters and you won’t be disappointed!
