Raj Tarun has been lying low with flops from a few films in the recent past. He has completed double hat-trick with it. So he needs a solid hit to stay in the limelight. Dil Raju has given him some hope with producing his film Iddari Lokam Okate which is directed by a debutante. The film has a low key release. Let us see how the movie is.
Story:
Mahi (Raj Tarun) is a famous photographer, Varsha (Shalini Pandey) is a struggling actress. They both met each other and knows about each other with Varsha’s childhood photograph. They both are friends in childhood. Both Mahi and Varsha starts their journey together again. Did their friendship took any new route? What are the problems faced by the duo? What is the problem Mahi faces since childhood forms the crux of the story.
Performances:
Raj Tarun performs differently in this movie. It is completely new to what we are seeing with Raj Tarun. He is completely subtle. Has less dialogues. Looks calm and composed for the most time. He has done a decent job. Shalini Pandey surprises with her performance. We have seen her in limited roles. But with Iddari Lokam Okate she excels. Kids who has done childhood scenes, Master Roshan and Baby Nethra Reddy has given terrific performance. It is their performances that stood as major boost up to the film. Rohini and Nassar has done some decent performances in their limited roles. Comedian Bharat character has no importance in the movie.
Technical Performance:
Cinematography is top notch. Every frame looks like a painting. Ooty locales has been captured very well. Art work is nice. Mickey J Meyer has done fantastic job with songs as well as background music. Most of the songs are montages and they have been shot well. Production values are very rich. Story is very simple and has no emotional highs. Screenplay is boring to the core. There is no entertainment whatsoever. Debutante GR Krishna has failed to evoke emotions, he has taken a decent point but falters to execute it to the extent that it reaches larger section of audiences.
Analysis:
The way story starts and ends and how they both are interlinked was shown in an interesting way. Also climax episode stands out as the main USP for the film. The conflict point is portrayed very emotionally. Also the childhood episodes will interest the audiences. Songs too will be loved by them. Apart from these, there is nothing that goes well. Movie falls flat after going into the movie within few minutes. Interval is regular and has no emotional high. It amuses why director didn’t take the movie to next level with the content he has. Narration is flat to the core and there are no entertainment factor in the movie. Emotions between the lead pair is totally missing. Audiences will like the climax and they have bear with the entire movie for that rushed climax.
Finally: Iddari Lokam Okate – A depraved spectacle of embarrassing lunacy.!
