OUR RATING
What is “Love Dot Com ” about?
After numerous attempts fail finally the father of hero gets his son to marry a girl. Does hero like the girl his father has selected for him and what are the problems faced by the couple is what the film is all about.
How is Hero’s performance?
Hero Arya Sandeep is pretty active and delivers lines pretty quick in Telugu. That’s the best that can be said about the hero as he lacks any emotional skills. Of course its another matter that he isn’t really given anything storywise to show such skills to judge.
What about Rajavannem Reddy’s direction?
Direction by Rajavannem Reddy is poor. He turns the movie into a B-grade affair despite having the best of comic talents at his disposal. He has filled the screenplay with juvenile and vulgar humor which is anything but funny. There is a fine line between portraying a women modern and bold and turning them into vulgur in the name of bold. The director not just steps over the line big time.
Other artists performance?
Niti Taylor has nothing to do performance wise and what’s worse is her being reduced to glorified sex object in the film. The way her character is designed and she is used in the film is atrocious to say the least. It is the same with late comedian Dharmavarapu Subrahmanium. The ‘Bommarillu’ spoof involving Jayaprakash Reddy, MS Narayana and Hema too is as unfunny as irritating as they come. Srinivas Reddy has done far better on similar terrain in the past.
How is Music, Songs and other departments?
Music by Chakri is among his worse. The backround score is non-existent. Cinematography is poor. Its editing that gives the film a sense otheriwise that was going cmpletely down the drain. Choreography of songs is pedastrian.
Highlights?
Hard to think off.
Drawbacks?
Story.
Screenplay.
Direction.
What about the box office performance of the film?
Another non-starter at the box office. Its because of reviews like this that people actually remember a film like this playing in theaters. By next week no one will ever remember a film like this releasing.
Did I enjoy it?
No.
Will you recommend it?
No.
