OUR RATING
What is “Aadu Magadura Bujji” about?
Siddhu (Sudheer Babu) loves indu at first sight. Indu (Asmitha Sood) has a brother Cherry who is over possessive about her. To win her love Siddhu has to deal with Cherry. How in the process of winning love and dealing with Cherry, Shankar enters into their lives and what happens next is what the film is all about.
How is Sudheer Babu?
Sudheer dances well but performance wise he is one dimensional. From start to end he is the same with zero expressions.
How is Krishnareddy Gangadhasuu’s direction?
The director has chosen a routine story to begin with and makes it worse by going with a template driven narration. This predictabilty leads to extreme boredom in the second half especially as every move can be guessed beforehand.
What about Asmita Sood,Poonam Kaur, Ajay and others ?
As it is in Telugu cinema there is only little that a heroine could do, mostly that is restricted to being glamorous and acting dumb. Here the glamour portion is also taken over by lead actor which just leaves heroine to act dumb and she even fails to do that. Ajay plays the central villain character, he puts up a routine act. Poonam Kauris better compare to Asmitha Sood in terms of acting even in a small role comparitively. Naresh over acts a lot. Among the rest comedian like RJ Nani, Pruthviraj (30 years industry) and others get few lines here and there that manages to evoke chuckle. The Godavari inspired dog comedy is fine at the beginning and end but is distasteful in the middle involving Krishna Bhagvan.
How is Music, Songs and Dances and other departments?
There is nothing memorable in terms of music or the background score although a couple of songs do feel decent to listen to. Its a respiste that there are less number of songs in the overall narrative though. Cinematography is alright and editing could have been way better. Choreography of songs involving hero is fine.
Highlights?
Beginning of dog comedy.
Few moments in first half.
Some comedy punches throughout..
Drawbacks?
Predictable story.
Poor second half.
Climax.
What about its box office prospects?
The film has nothing exciting nor is it an out and out entertainer to sustain. If a film like SMS starring Sudheer couldn’t find takers, this one has no chance.
Did I enjoy it?
No.
Will you recommend it?
No.
