“King” Nagarjuna was never afraid of experimenting…he acted
as Cancer patient in Geetanjali which became a classic.. He acted as “Annamayya”
after immense success of “nine pelladatha”.. He being a romantic hero did
Gaganam with no duets.. He played the ghost in his last film “Soggade..”.
And now in his latest outing OOPIRI ( TAMIL - THOZA) , Nagarjuna does quadriplegic(one
affected with paralysis of both arms and both legs).. I get this definition in
google but nagarjuna believed that he will be accepted whenever he gave us
novelty.. So that is Yuvasamrat for us.. Vamsi paidipally directs it. Karthi
plays important role in this “intouchables” adaptation..
Plot: Vikramaditya,a multi millionare’s life turns upside
down with an accident and now he needs support not just to serve him but
someone through whom he can experience the life. Then comes Srinu(Karthi) who
does petty thefts and is released from jail on parole.. And Oopiri is just a
pleasant journey of two individuals who present the life to each other in
different way altogether..
Stars..
Nagarjuna’s presence itself makes a huge difference here..
not even a single moment you feel that he is just acting there for a while in
chair..but you feel his pain throughout and take the character with you.. With
such an open mind.. I think there’s no limit for his adventures and he keeps
getting the success..
Karthi is perfect suit for the role.. He just like that
slips into the skin of Srinu. He makes us laugh throughout with such a sweet
innocence and brings tears equally. May be Jr NTR would have done equally good
but somehow this role might not suit him in Telugu.. and Karthi made everyone
feel home and one could not imagine any other actor in that role..
Tamanna though is seen in most of the film .. She is
limited by her role and is gorgeous as usual. Her duet with Karthi is good..
Prakashraj plays Nagarjuna’s friend is without saying is
nice support.. Jayasudha plays Karthi’s mother..
Nora fatehi of Baahubali fame does an item number and south african model Gabriella does a guest role.We have pleasant cameos from two heroines whose names you can easily guess ..:)
It’s Pure emotional journey…
Best thing about the movie is a very simple .. pure..
lovable journey of two central characters .. there's no deviation .. there’s no
disturbance. It’s about how these individuals help each other without being asked for
it. It’s about how these two overcome their fears and get to know what they seek in
life.. One should appreciate Vamsi Paidipalli for bringing such honest attempt
and gut fully believing in what it is to convey the journey. He takes it very
slowly and brings the emotion of the characters to the core.
Gopi Sunder’s pleasant music syncs deep into the film . “
eppudu okalaa undadu…” “ nuvvemichaavo ..” both songs written by sirevennela
garu tells the depth in proceedings . PS vinod has given splendid visuals and
Paris in second half gives lot of energy. PVP choice of making this film and
the grandeur sprinkled allover is appreciable.
Now what might be wrong..
As said .. the same pleasant journey might sound disturbing
when we expect lot of twists and loudness . So the acceptance of this
simplicity is the key for success…
Rating..
70/100
