Butta Bomma, featuring young and talented actors Anikha Surendran, Arjun Das, Vikas Vashistta in the lead roles released in theaters today. Let's see what the film has to offer.
Story: A young woman(Anikha) falls in love with an auto driver(Vikas) after dialing his phone by mistake. One thing leads to another and they fall for each other and then, when she visits his city to meet him, a stranger (Arjun Das) enters her life and all hell breaks loose. What follows later forms the rest of the plot.
How did the actors perform?
The film has a bunch of young talent - Arjun das, Anikha, and Vikas in the lead roles. They all play their roles to perfection and deliver a standout performances on their front. The film is essentially propelled by these fine performances from the lead cast.
What about the technical finesse?
The director Shourie keeps the script true to the original, Malayalam film, Kappela. The film is a very faithful remake of the original but it has very little in terms of gripping narrative. It mostly labors along at a slow pace. The BGM and the cinematography are of okayish quality at best.
Analysis:
Butta Bomma is a Telugu remake of the Malayalam film, Kappela which was a blockbuster there. The film features a rather young and lesser-known cast so the establishment of the drama factor doesn't happen on a desired level.
The film is set in a rural backdrop and it revolves around how a village girl falls in love with an auto driver from another area just over a telephonic conversation, which does have freshness.
But the lack of drama in either halves comes to its undoing as the Telugu audience will find this film as a compilation of one lifeless sequence after another. The narrative is rather very weak and lacks the desired effect.
The production values are of top notch quality though and that is a pretty standard trait of the production ventures of Sithara Entertainments in the recent past.
Verdict: Butta Bomma has a decent promise but it all goes in vain as the film ends up a sub-par rural drama that tracks along with zero emotional connect. It doesn't make for a compelling watch in theaters.
Rating: 2/5
