Paarijatha Parvam, a crime comedy featuring Sunil, Chaitanya Rao, Shraddha Das, and Harsha Chemudu, hit theaters today. Our review delves into the movie’s performance.
Story:
Chaitanya (Chaitanya Rao), aspiring to direct his debut film with friend Harsha (Harsha Chemudu) as the lead, faces producer rejections due to casting disputes. After facing insults from producer Shetty (Srikanth Iyenger), Chaitanya devises a plan to abduct Shetty’s wife, intending to use the ransom for his film. Did he succeed? Who are Bar Seenu (Sunil) and Parvathy (Shraddha Das)? Find out in the movie.
Pros:
- Harsha Chemudu’s comedic timing shines, particularly in the latter half. Chaitanya Rao impresses in his directorial debut role.
- Sunil’s portrayal of Bar Seenu stands out, adding humor alongside Chaitanya Rao and Harsha Chemudu. Srikanth Iyengar also delivers a commendable performance.
Cons:
- The film lacks engaging storytelling essential for crime comedies, missing opportunities for thrills.
- Director Kambhampati Santosh could have refined the screenplay for a more compelling narrative.
- Some comedy scenes feel forced, with unnecessary fillers detracting from the overall impact.
Technical Aspects:
- Santosh’s direction lacks finesse, requiring more focus on story development.
- Ree’s music is adequate, but the background score is repetitive and underwhelming. The cinematography by Bala Saraswathi is satisfactory, though editing by Sasank Vupputuri could be tighter for pacing improvements.
Verdict:
Paarijatha Parvam disappoints as a crime comedy due to weak storytelling and screenplay. While performances by Harsha Chemudu, Sunil, and Srikanth Iyengar salvage some humor, the film suffers from pacing issues and a lack of engagement. Consider exploring other entertainment options this weekend.
