“Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam” has garnered considerable attention recently, thanks to its intriguing trailer and well-executed pre-release events. Directed by Lakshman Karya, who previously brought us “Happy Wedding,” this film also sees him take on the roles of screenwriter and dialogue writer. The movie is produced by Bujji Pentyala and Mohan Karya, with presentation by Thabitha Sukumar. Music is handled by Kalyan Nayak, and the cast includes Rao Ramesh in the title role, with Ankith Koyya and Ramya Pasupuleti in pivotal roles, supported by Indraja, Harshavardhan, and Praveen.

Story:

Subramanyam, affectionately known as Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam (played by Rao Ramesh), is a man who dreams of securing a government job but faces numerous setbacks. His wife, Kalarani (Indraja), is a government employee, while his son Arjun (Ankith) often joins him in their rather carefree lifestyle. The story takes a sharp turn when Subramanyam unexpectedly receives a credit of ten lakhs in his account. The ensuing chaos and how this windfall intertwines with Arjun’s love story with Kanchana (Ramya) forms the crux of the film.

On-Screen Performances:

Rao Ramesh truly shines in the title role, delivering a performance rich in humor and emotion. His impeccable comic timing and dialogue delivery make his scenes particularly enjoyable, with moments like the birthday night sequence showcasing his experience and talent. Ankith Koyya, as the son, holds his own alongside Rao Ramesh, and their chemistry is one of the film’s highlights. Ramya Pasupuleti, though with limited screen time, delivers a commendable performance within her scope. Indraja impresses as Subramanyam’s wife, particularly with a surprising twist in the climax. Supporting actors Harshavardhan, Annapurnamma, Sivannarayana, and Praveen deliver adequate performances, effectively complementing the main cast.

Off-Screen Talents:

Director Lakshman Karya offers a story that, while simple, is peppered with numerous fun moments, especially in the first half. His character introductions set the tone nicely, allowing the audience to overlook some of the film’s logical inconsistencies. The first 45 minutes are filled with humor, though the pace slows slightly with a few unnecessary scenes, such as the heroine’s first love story. However, the interval twist manages to recapture interest.

The second half experiences a bit of a lull, but the film recovers strongly with an engaging climax where all the twists are revealed in a humorous and satisfying manner. The editing could have been tighter, with around 15 minutes of the film feeling extraneous, particularly scenes that repetitively emphasize Subramanyam’s misfortunes. Music by Kalyan Nayak, while adequate, doesn’t leave a lasting impression, with the exception of the “Madam Sir” track, which stands out more for its picturization than the melody itself. The background score complements the film adequately. Lakshman’s dialogues, particularly for Rao Ramesh, are a highlight, with several fantastic one-liners delivered with perfect timing. Cinematography by MN Balreddy is serviceable, though not particularly noteworthy.

What’s Hot:

  • Rao Ramesh’s scintillating performance
  • A fun-filled first half
  • Engaging pre-climax and climax

What’s Not:

  • A slightly dragged second half before the pre-climax
  • Adequate but unremarkable music

Verdict:

“Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam” is, without a doubt, a showcase for Rao Ramesh’s exceptional talent. His brilliant timing and dialogue delivery make this film worth watching, despite a somewhat sluggish second half. It’s a film that entertains, primarily due to its strong performances and humor, making it a worthwhile one-time watch.
