Music: Ilayaraja
Direction: Samudra
Producer: Mohan Vadlapatla
Samudra has spun a well interesting script and has made a heroine oriented movie. Mallepuvvu is not a total women oriented movie, but the story revolves around the female lead. Moreover, the movie is filled with good star cast which gives us a soothing experience. Samudra has dedicated this film to late Shoban Babu who is a legend to Telugu cinema.
Story
Murali Krishna is the hero of this movie who plays the character of Koti and is a construction worker. He some times works and some sometimes supervises the construction work on the site. He has only one aim in his life. He desires to earn well and wants to settle in Dubai as a lucratively earning employee. In the process to achieve his aim, Koti applies for his Passport and is waiting for the passport to be processed. Meanwhile, a young male Malli joins the construction team of labors and works on the site. In order to save some expenses Koti decides to share his room with the young male Malli.
Incidentally, Koti discovers that Malli is a female in disguise of a male. He falls in love with her and becomes a slave to her beauty and good nature.
Koti later on realizes that Malli is being chased by some cops and goons and wants to solve the total problem. But unfortunate Koti gets arrested by the police and Malli is kidnapped by some goons.
Koti decides to save Malli from her misery and gets bail. He tries to save Malli from the police and goons. One day he learns that Malli is a Bangladeshi woman who is suspected to be a terrorist.
Then the story becomes interesting and is lead to climax. The mystery about Malli’s identity and the heroine saving heroines life forms the conclusion of the story.
Performances
Bhumika steals the lime light of the film by acting as Malli in a realistic way. She dazzles in the character role of a Bangladeshi woman. Though the glam quotient is missing in her, she still leads the script.
Murali Krishna has done a descent job as a debut in this film. He seems to be a well trained actor in acting and dancing skills. His physique is a highlight to him.
The comedy track is also well anticipated and hilarious. Venu Madhav’s comedy is hilarious and his dialogues churn some comedy.
Kovai Sarla, Geetha Singh and Abhinayasri have brief roles in this film. Farzana’s item song is as expected and the glam quotient is chiseled by her in this movie.
Ilayaraja’s music is worth mentioning. The tunes are refreshing and have some new lyrics.
Director Samudra might have made the script even spicier with some thrilling twists in the second half. The first half comes out well. But the second half is predictable and the Jihad element which is running after the recent blasts in Delhi is well catered.
On the whole, since the movie is spun in a nice way, the family people can go to the theatres. But since the script is little bit niche it may attract more message oriented people than the usual family crowds.
Since the star cast is low, this movie will exist in the theatres for about 3 weeks time.
