Leharaayi, which is directed by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and featuring Ranjith Sommi and Sowmyaa Menon in the lead roles, has been released. The trailer of the film has received a good response, and let us now see how the film has turned out to be.
Story:
The story is about a girl who shares a very deep bond with her father, who always keeps away from love because that’s how her father wants it. However, she ends up proposing to a boy under critical circumstances. The father-daughter duo try to rectify the daughter’s mistake, but there’s a huge hurdle for them. What is that hurdle, and how do they finally overcome it forms the rest of the story.
On-Screen Performances:
Ranjith Sommi is good enough in his role, and stands out when it comes to action sequences. However, he falls really short when it comes to emotional scenes and scenes where his utmost involvement is required. This is a major drawback in key sequences.
Sowmyaa Menon gets a meaty role, where she has to emote through various situations and circumstances and handle several emotions at the same time. Her scenes with Rao Ramesh, who plays her father, really stand out, and the two are convincing as a father and daughter.
Rao Ramesh and Naresh, who have major supporting roles in the film are, as usual, good in their parts. They give their best and keep the audience engaged as long as they are on the screen. The rest of the cast is good enough in what they have been given. Ali has been seen in a key role in the film.
Off-Screen Talents:
Director Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, who also wrote the story, chose a tried and tested concept for his film. There’s nothing new that he offers through this film, as almost everything that’s shown throughout the film has already been seen in some other film at some point. His screenplay is also quite predictable and has nothing that really stands out. The film’s execution is also just okay, and lacks the depth at certain points.
The production design is good enough, and the music composed by GK is good in places, and the background score is alright.
The editing of the film could have been a lot better, as many scenes felt like they went on for longer than they were supposed to. The cinematography is also pretty okay.
Plus Points:
- Supporting cast performances
- Sowmyaa Menon performance
Minus Points:
- Predictable storyline
- Lagging screenplay
- Ranjith Sommi performance
Verdict: Leharaayi has nothing out of the box to offer to you and is not a core shaker. Unless you have too much time to spare, it is not a film that really needs to be watched. It is completely skippable.
