Touted as a romantic drama, a small film titled, First Day First Show starring Srikanth Reddy and Sanchita Bashu as the lead pair has hit the screens today. Let’s analyse it.
Story:
Set in early 2000s time frame, the film opens with the story of Srinivas ( Srikanth Reddy) an ardent fan of PSPK who falls for his college mate Sanchita ( Sanchita Bashu). Upon her request, Srikanth decides to get FDFS tickets of Kushi movie in their area. What all difficulties he has to face to get the tickets forms the story of the film. Will Srikanth be able to get the movie tickets for his girl?
On screen performances:
New comers Srikanth Reddy and Sanchita Bashu did well in lead roles. Vennela Kishore evokes some laughter in first half but falls flat in the later half. One of the directors Vamsidhar Goud acted in an extended cameo role and makes his presence felt with some fun dialogues and scenes.
Tanikella Bharani, Srinivas Reddy and Mahesh are fine in their respective roles. Director KV Anudeep’s cameo in one scene is wasted completely.
Off-screen Talents:
One would wonder why this movie needs two Directors Vamshidhar Goud and Lakshminarayana Puttamchetty. Directors couldn’t leave a mark as they do not have a good storyline to tell. Story and dialogues by Anudeep are weak. Cinematography is just okay and nothing specific to mention. Editing is mediocre. Though the story has no scope for good songs, Radhan makes his mark with one situational montage number. Production values are just fine
Positive Points:
- PSPK references
- Nee Navve song
- Couple of comedy scenes/dialogues
Negative Points:
- Wafer-thin storyline
- Silly comedy/scenes
- Not appealing to all sections of audience
Verdict:
First Day First Show is a single-point stretched drama that is completely focused on Pawan Kalyan’s craze in early 2000’s and may give a nostalgic feel to his hardcore fans. When a movie has very thin storyline, it needs to be compensated with excellent entertainment to satisfy the audience and unfortunately, this movie lacks both. It may work with hardcore pspk fans, but doesn’t have the potential to work with general audience.
