OUR RATING
What is ‘Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu’ about?
Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu is a story of two school mates Varun and Nithya who look to each other for a relationship. But their life contains more troughs than crests. The events that followed in their life forms the actual story.
How did Nani do?
Nani plays the role of a boy next door. His character is plain and simple as every Gautam Menon’s hero. According to the character demands he managed to deliver subtle performance through which every young boy/men. Boys will identify themselves with Varun’s character.
How is Gautam Menon’s direction?
The pattern/feel of the movie is almost similar to Ye Maya Chesave. The director chose an excellent subject which connects with present day youth. He aptly depicted the mentality of the current generation. However, as in every movie of him there were some lapses in the narration of the story but the value of the subject manages to hold the movie well.
How is Samantha?
The character of Jessie in YMC is undoubtedly an iconic character in the present day cinema. There are no other heroine characters in the past decade which have their influence so much on youth. Gautam Menon tried to repeat the same magic with Samantha in this movie too but failed. Characters like Jessie do happen once but can not be re created always. Samantha does a good job as Nithya but any comparison between Jessie and Nithya will leave Nithya far behind in the race.
Any references with Ye Maya Chesave?
Audience watching the movie would always feel the mood of Ye Maya Chesave. The character of Nitya almost reminds us Jessie in YMC. The youthful confusions between the couple will make the audience compare YVM with YMC.
What about the comedy and other actors?
Just like in Ye Maya Chesave Krishnudu played a good role in the movie. He has some healthy comedy which goes with the story. There are certain comical moments between Nitya and Varun and all of them are dealt well.
How is Music and Songs?
When Ilayaraja is scoring music for a movie and that too for Gautam Menon’s movie it is obvious to have high expectation on the music part. This department may let down people who go with huge expectations. There are some moments which have excellent background score which involves the audience in to the story. All the songs are good and neatly shot.
What are the highlights?
Excellent Casting
Krishnudu’s comedy track
Youthful subject
Any Drawbacks?
Slow narration towards the interval.
What about its box office prospects?
The movie started off well but the pace decreased as it approaches the interval block. The second half started well and remained good through out. The movie as a whole is a good watch but the comparisons with YMC will prove fatal for it’s box office prospects. We will have to see how the targeted audience will embrace it.
Did I enjoy it?
Partly.
