Love Story:
Kajal vs Mahesh
The story between Kajal and Mahesh is interesting. She is an independent girl who has lot of ambitions. She likes being with joint families and hence the togetherness cherished in Mahesh’s family. In the meanwhile both Mahesh and Kajal get attracted to each other. Kajal though liked him and his family a lot, her ambitions and lifestyle did not match her love towards Mahesh. So she backs off just limiting the whole experience for 2 months and leaves for her higher studies.
This is a very good character, especially for a heroine found in rarity nowadays. In a way it is exactly opposite to Kajal’s character in Mr. Perfect or similar to Prabhas character in it. This character is also realistic among many girls today. Many girls who wish to study abroad, find a comfortable life to pursue their ambitions without any family pressures. Such women though like to visit family regularly during holidays and enjoy with them, it is very hard for them to come back and live permanently in their home with a joint family. In short, goals and ambitions are important than other factors.
But, unfortunately, our director did not give much screenplay space to explain all this. In fact you don’t even understand anything till the pre-climax scene in the 1st half.
Samanta vs Mahesh
Samanta was shown as a girl who just then came from US. This was unnecessary and unrealistic. Impractical scenes like she inviting a group of unknown people to stranger’s house is so stupid. The director could have used more subtler scenes to introduce her character to us. Anyway, so in a way this is a love story where Samanta is a girls who likes crowds and people. So naturally living in a big family and the whole episode was good. But it was made so unrealistic in many scenes. Romance between Samanta and Mahesh was not given much space. It went fast in such scenes. Except for that even their love story is realistic, to an extent that how mentality of girls who marry into joint families are/should be different compared to a previous love track between Kajal and Mahesh.
Family scenes
SatyaRaj vs Rao Ramesh and Mahesh vs Rao Ramesh: (and hence Pranita’s story)
Completely common and relatable among families. There are instances when people fight over such ego factors and the interval and climax scenes are apt enough to capture them. Pranita’s role was also fine. Instead of unnecessarily bringing all random characters as relatives and spoiling the plot, the screenplay could be written in a different way.
If this was the whole movie and the screenplay was little adjusted and shown exactly, I would have given this movie a 4/5 for all other things in the love track and intra family scenes being exact.
But Alas, he did not do that.
Searching people (Random Drama):
The concept of bringing the whole new episode of searching some random people is so stupid, though it looks great in the first instance. The movie is just a 2.5 to 3 hr limit. You can’t show so much in that time. Moreover, nothing was really shown. Only the Brahmotsavam song, one random scene in Nagpur. Unnecessary trips to Haridwar and Kashi. None of these had any connection nor made any sense even till the end. None of those random relatives meet the whole family in the first place.
Anyway. If really the Director wanted to put all this random drama too, then he should have made another movie instead of bombarding so many issues and confusing audience. Also, none of these aspects were given emphasis as the movie was not able to stress on a single point. If he would have made another movie he could have clearly shown how these far off relatives are important how in a sense all humans are related at some point of age in the past. So how important it was to protect all those relations etc. But it is high time now.
Because all these random non sense made this movie a bad one, my rating dropped down to 2/5.
Final say:
Either of the 2 stories, be it the love+family one or the Searching people one if made independently as 2 movies with slight changes both the projects would have done great business at the box office and even liked by the people.
