Son of Lagadapati Sridhar, Vikram Sahidev is well known to Tollywood as a child artist. Now, he is making his debut as a hero. His new movie, Virgin Story, directed by Pradip B. Atluri has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story
Teenager Priyanshi (Sowmika Pandian) finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her for a long time. The distressed young girl wants to take revenge on her ex and decides to hook up with an unknown guy. She chooses Vikram (Vikram Sahidev), a college dropout but an excellent graphic designer. Together, they both search for a safe place for a one-night stand. Did they finally hook up? What problems did they face? To know the answers, you need to watch the movie on the big screens.
Plus Points
Vikram Sahidev acted good and in some scenes, his performance was so good to watch. He has impressed the audiences with his dancing skills as well. Coming to the heroine, Sowmika Pandiyan, she looks pretty good and her performance is also fine. Snehal Kamath’s role is good and she gave her best.
The director showcased the thought process of the teenagers quite well in various situations. Some dialogues about love are good. Technically, the movie has rich production values, which you can witness on the screen. The songs are good to listen to.
Minus Points
During the promotions, the makers have said that the movie’s story is virgin and also mentioned that audience might find the meaning of true love. The point is okay but the director has failed to narrate it in a good manner. If he could have worked more on the script, Virgin Story would have become a good movie.
On the other hand, the comedy scenes didn’t work well. Though the runtime is a saviour, the movie is filled with so many unnecessary characters and scenes associated with them.
Some scenes test the audience’s patience. Virgin Story could have been a good movie if some characters and their actions were realistic.
Technical Aspects
Music director, Achu Rajamani, needs to be appreciated for composing good tracks and background score. The camera work by Anish Tharun Kumar is okay. Production values are top-notch as all the big money spent is showcased on screen. Editing by Garry BH is nice and crisp.
Verdict
On the whole, Virgin Story tells us a story that audiences are already aware of. The lead pair’s performance and Achu’s music are basic assets. Youngsters might connect to this movie as it offers relatable elements. Barring that, there is nothing new that is showcased here.
