My movie - Kotha Bangaru Lokam

Kotha Bangaru Lokam is the movie we decided upon to watch as a part of dusera celebrations. Somehow I always trust Dil Raju banner movies. So our natural family entertainer perference was 'Kotha bangaru lokam'.

Story starts with narration by a mother about her son. Balu's (Varun Sandesh) middle class parents (played by Praksah Raj and Jayasudha) are very protective and loving, studies in a residential college. Swapna (Shweta Prasad) too joins the same college. Both of them are attracted to each other and after a couple of scenes and songs they feel it is love, not simply attraction. On a college picnic for girls, Balu follows her and takes her out, eventually is caught by the authorities in college and they are asked to come back only with their respective parents inorder to write their exams which is just a month away. Swapna's dad (Ahuthi Prasad) gets to know about his daughter's wrong track and takes her home.

Balu goes home and lies to his parents that for a small mistake in the college he is dismissed. Both hero and heroine do not concentrate on their studies and decide to elope. What follows next is the excellent emotional drama, which is not the usual melodramatic or sentimental scene we normally watch in the routine movies. Yes it is not one of its kind stories and we have seen many love stories like these before. What this movie offers is the realistic solution to the parents while dealing with 'teenage children in love'. There is a scene of prakash raj when he comes to know about his son's love through one his friends, where he says "Intha badha manasulo pettukoni vidu inka exams emi rasuntadu" and another dilogue in which he gives confidence to his son when he tells his dad that he might fail, Prakash raj replies " Exam pass aina fail aina nuvvu naa kodukuvi". These are small things that actually gives confidence to children is what the movie tries to teach us.

Direction by Srikanth Addala stands out. Screenplay and casting is excellent. Especially Varun Sandesh and Shweta Prasad have the faces which suit their characters and perform well. I need not mention about Jayasudha and Prakash Raj, as usual they do justice to their characters. But surprise package is the new set of actors who act as friends to hero and heroine. They appear realistic and add freshness to the movie. Music by Mickey J Mayers is good and two songs "Nuvvani… and Nijanga nenena..." are excellent. Choreography could have been better. I need to mention about cinematography by Chota.K.Naidu. This movie stands out from other normal movies because of the camera work. Producer Dil Raju has another hit movie in his kitty.
