Parugu...

Run Run Run

Before starting anything on the movie, I should appreciate the director for his aptness in selecting the title for the movie. “Parugu”, SubbLakshmi(PoonamBajwa) Parugus with her lover Babu on her wedding day, Neelakantha, SubbaLakshmis father(Prakash Raj) parugu to find her daughter, Babu’s friends pargu to escape from Neelkhanta, Krishna, one of Babus friends (Arujun) parugus to catch Meena (Sheela), Neelakhanta wants Meena to be with him in his parugu as Meena happens to be his second daughter and he does not want her to make the second parugu movie...... All in all, a perfect title for the movie. Yeah, I am not going to tell anything more about the movie, by now you got the whole story there, only thing you should watch on screen is, how Arjun manages to marry Meena.

Puri - Badri, Baaachi
VV Vinayak -Aadi, ChennakesavaReddy
Karunakaran - ToliPrema, Yuvakudu
Sukumar - Arya, Jagadam
Vn Aditya - Manasanta Nuvve, SreeRAm
PrabuDeva – Nuvvostaanante..., Pournami
Bhaskar - Bommarillu, Parugu
Yes all the above movies and directors have one similarity, First movie a blockbuster and the second a flop or an average movie. You take whatever inference you want from this statement, but I suspect now it’s become a tradition and we can safely ignore the second flick by a block buster debutant director. Now when you have two movies from the same director they are ought to be compared (though i strictly wanted to avoid thisL), Bomarillu has all the ingredients which are must for a successful movie, on top of all it has Hasini (Jenilia), Parugu lacks this character. Though Arjun did a good job in the first half, the second half is little too elastic and plot got slipped from the directors hands. You cannot expect any titillating scenes between the leads, as they both don’t even face each other for most of the first half. Not a commercially viable mantra!

Songs average, Female lead average, Comedy average, everything is average about this movie, movie becomes very flat at very regular intervals. Arjun, not very charming, Sheela, not at all attractive, tough she managed to give proper expressions. Prakash Raj looks ok, JayaSudha not required at all for that small character. Bhasker tried to show the counter side of Bommarillu, the fathers version of emotions when his kids don’t understand his love towards them, but he should have done more work on the story and screenplay. Can watch it once.

Parugu: 3 out of 5
