OOPIRI Movie Review

“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..
