Urvashivo Rakshasivo is a film that has been in the making for a long time now. Starring Allu Sirish and Anu Emmanuel, the film has hit the screens today and let’s see how it is.
Story:
Sree Kumar(Allu Sirish) is a simple and family oriented software engineer who falls in love with Siri(Anu Emmanuel), a very modern and career oriented girl. Sree tries hard and somehow manages to woo her. He proposes marriage but Siri proposes a live-in relationship. The rest of the story is as to how a straight forward guy handles his live-in relationship and conservative family at the same time.
Plus Points:
The conflict point in the story looks interesting and is in tune with today’s generation. Director Rakesh has handled this aspect and kept the emotions in tune with the subject and this is the best part. Amani and Kedar Shankar who play the parents of Sirish are impressive.
Anu Emmanuel plays a role which has negative shades but she does quite well in her character. Her glamor treat is one of the biggest plus points of the film. She as a career oriented girl has done a good job. The film is filled with situational comedy as Vennela Kishore and Sunil do not disappoint one bit. They along with Sirish create a fun atmosphere throughout the film.
The director has made sure that the film is neatly packed with romance(not to forget the multiple lip locks) comedy, and simple family emotions which are brought out quite neatly until the end. A scene where Sirish shuffles between his home and his girlfriend back and forth is hilarious.
Last but not the least, Allu Sirish has made a vast growth as an actor. He gets a very good role which challenges him to perform and Sirish does it with ease. He as a person stuck between his family and a modern girlfriend has done an impressive job. He is good with comedy and that angle has been highlighted well by the director.
Minus Points:
The plot is simple and new but more dramatic family scenes would have made matters better. The required pain in the love story is not developed that much as comedy is given more importance.
The second half has comedy but there is not much engaging drama in the love story. The conflict between the lead pair should have been prolonged to create more impact. The heroine’s emotional angle should have been given more importance.
Technical Aspects:
Music and BGM by Achu was quite good as the songs nicely gel in the narrative except for the break up number. Dialogues are hilarious and create a good impact. The production values are neat and the visuals are crisp.
Coming to the director Rakesh, he has done a good job with the film. Though the film is a remake, he has adapted it quite well for the Telugu audience. His narration is breezy as he gave all the key aspects like comedy, romance and conflict good importance and did not bore the audience. His storytelling is simple and to the point as the film does not have lag and keeps the audience entertained.
Verdict:
On the whole, Urvashivo Rakshasivo is an urban romantic comedy which is packaged quite cleverly. Good comedy, romance, and light hearted family drama are the major assets and will be loved by the youth. Barring the slightly predictable second half, this film has decent moments for the audience to give it a shot and enjoy the weekend.
