Rating: 2.5/5
Story:
Upon knowing that Satyaraj is going to die in five weeks due to cancer, his kids and grandchildren visit India. But all of them get worried of their jobs and such stuff after knowing that Satyaraj is not going to die for another few weeks.
But the family members leave to US after a revelation. Sai Dharam Tej, the grandchild of Satyaraj then decides to teach a lesson to all of them. How did he convince them to come back to India and share a good bonding with Satyaraj is what to be seen in the theaters.
Performances:
Performances speak a lot in Prati Roju Pandaage movie as almost every single artist has delivered a promising work. Sai Dharam Tej is energetic as usual and has come up with a decent performance. Raashee Khanna surprises throughout her presence with great acting skills. She is glamorous too. Rao Ramesh is brilliant as usual and Satyaraj lives up to the expectations. Even rest other artists did well.
Technical Performances:
Director Maruthi is known for making some trendy films and is also popular for such path breaking films in Tollywood. Prati Roju Pandaage is not a movie to be expected from a director like him.
Loving parents just as one loves their kids is what the film is all about. The execution is bad even though the point is good. A family dinner comedy scene and a few other fun scenes in parts are good.
Most of the songs in the film are montage based. Two to three songs in the first half are shot well. Much hyped ‘Thakita Thakita’ song disappoints in the second half. Thaman has nothing much to do even with the background score.
Keeping in mind the action hero image of Sai Dharam Tej, the makers tried to include fights even though the emotion fails to convince the audience. The last 30 minutes of the film is emotional and impressive. The dialogues are heart touching in the climax and can be considered as an only ray of hope for the film. Editing is a total flaw. The narration is dead slow and deserves a fine trimming. DOP is adequate.
Analysis:
Neither comedy levels nor emotions that one witnessed in Maruthi’s earlier films can be expected in Prati Roju Pandaage. Except for climax, all the emotions seem forced which is a major minus to a film that is majorly betting on such family emotions. Logic-less points and silly comedy in parts further disturb the audiences mood.
Finally: Prati Roju Pandaage- A non-Maruthi film.
