TeluguBulletin.com Rating: 2/5

Story:

What are the steps Nasser took in separating the duo and what did Chaitanya decide after knowing about the horoscope? How did army background appears in this backdrop? Watch the film to know the answers to all the questions

Performances:

Victory Venkatesh has proved his mettle as an actor one more time by portraying some brilliant emotions in his character in Venky Mama. Naga Chaitanya is also decent in his part. Heroines Payal Rajput does the glamour show. Rashee Khanna is ok.

Technical Performances:

Venky Mama is anticipated to bet high on comedy as Venkatesh is known for it. A few scenes in parts show the Vintage Venky but not many are impressive. Several comedy scenes appear silly and may go well with the C centre to some extent.

Except for a comedy scene, warning scene and interval bang, nothing went exciting in the first half and thus kills the hopes on the second half. Adding to the disappointment, even second half lacks any interest except for a twist in the climax.

The interval bang has been shot extremely well and gives a good high to the film. But the makers could not live up to the hype in the further episodes.

Kashmir episodes which the makers promoted to be the highlight fail to make any impact.
All the technical aspects of the film fail to make any notable job in the film. The screenplay and direction are a total failure. A BGM for a scene has been inspired from Dalapathi movie and it looks impressive. But rest other BGMs are weak.

Coming to editing, the continuous juggling between present and flashback episodes confuses the audience. The abrupt cuts disturb the mood.

Analysis:

For a concept like Venky Mama, the makers are supposed to bet high on emotion. But the same has been lacked in the film. While the first half appears below average, second half is unbearable and worst. Venky Mama completely fails to reach the expectations as it could not make any notable impact at any point in the film, except for an impressive interval bang.

Finally: Venky Mama- All about uncle and son-in-law.
