So now its time for Manchu’s multistarrer “Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummeda”. Though Dr. Mohan babu acted with his sons in flashy flash back roles before, since he teamed up with both the sons on the screen for first time.. you can safely call it an another family multistarrer . Just brief thoughts on the movie..
Plot :
As many know the plot of Golmaal 3 .. 3 orphans are raised by a bangkok tourist guide Mohan babu and 2 other by Raveena Tandon . 5 of them unite the old lovers making them mom and Dad and thus a happy family.
Villians appear for interval bang and take away the heroine hansika.. And now it’s the time for Manchu family to conveniently get into villians hub in disguise and teach them a lesson…
Golmaal3 + NarthanaSala ..
Two plots in one film is latest trend now.. as last seen in Yevadu.. I remember darling and Nayak too did that. If it is Golmaal 3 alone for 3 hours, I would not even bother to kill my time again in theatre.
Entire Golmaal 3 is shown quickly in first half with good speed with songs only being loud speed breakers. No one would even call them songs which made even Thamans songs sound better. Sentiment worked better here as real time father and sons reprised the roles. Xerox copy scenes like ones where five of them make some imitations in drawing room should have been avoided.
Now post interval.. the routine writers brought the DVD of Narthanasala and tried adopting it in their very regular “Dee-Rea-Dee” style. Manchu Manojs lady attire as Mohini, Mohanbabu’s strong screen presence and of course our confused Brahmi lighten up this half . Presence of Varun sandesh,vennela Kishore,Tanish and Pranitha on board nicely filled each frame .
One on one..
When I heard long back about this remake, I thought and was afraid, Mohanbabu garu might chose Ajay devagan ‘s role in Golmaal3. Good to see, he chose to play father. And that brought lot of charm and dialogues written for him are extremely good. He conveys how First Rank students become Doctors and engineers and how failed guys become politicians and how even bad students turn astrologers. Watch many of such sort on-screen.
Manoj suited perfectly for mohini.. He could evoke laughter in most of his scenes. Vishnu is fine and convincing. Good Varun sandesh understood to make some money being part in the crowd.
Hansika has got lengthy role. She trimmed down and acted well. Success brings some charm and that is clearly seen on Pranitha. Raveena is apt pair to the collection King.
Brahmananandam can still bring few laughs though he did this zillion times. Liked the scene where he is made to sit like Gandhari. Supreet is better among the villain gang.
Summing up…
Srivas who directed Lakshyam etc previously utilized this opportunity reasonably. Few scenes having Manoj and Brahmi,Supreet are hilarious. Few dialogues for mohan babu are great. Out of all songs “Acha teluganti” on Manoj-Praneetha is better. On a whole, did I expect more?
