0 "Bhale Mogudu Bhale Pellam" Movie Review!!

Ten minutes into Bhale Mogudu Bhale Pellam and you wonder how this movie worked for 100 days in Kannada and what made the audiences ask for a sequel. Great actors can look talentless when beset with bad writing and direction, Rajendra Prasad and Suhasini work in the remake of a Kannada Hit 'Eradane Maduve', a very very archaic story. They waste an opportunity and time here over a narrative that has little matter or dignity.

Venkat (Rajendra Prasad) loses his job in the income tax department for raiding a politician's house; none in the house trust him and he loses respect in the family, so much that even the domestic helps treat him with indifference. His wife Madhavi (Suhasini) works, handles the three grown up girls at home and all of them collectively make jibes at Venkat's postion.

Hurt by the attitude, Venkat takes his friend's counsel and brings a woman home just to gain attention from his wife. Madhavi behaves strangely, jealous she definitely is but her conversations on her marital problems with her daughters is downright silly. In the second half of the story the wife brings a young man home on a rebound, he turns out to be her daughter's love interest.

Communication is the key to any disturbed relationship, to show this solution the director who is also the writer creates a romantic comedy over a not so young actors who depend on an insipid script to dish out laughter. If that wasn't bad enough, the pacing issues of the film is simply slow, dragging and retreading matter repeatedly like a drum. Raghu Babu's comedy is juvenile and deafening.

The brightspot in Bhale Mogudu Bhale Pellam is Jhansi who in her slim avatar becomes the audiences' alter ego, showing her disgust at the happenings in the house. Suhasini's character is lost in it's interpretation, her anger seems more like a hormonal outburst, Rajendra Prasad's work is one dimensional and he can go back to talk about his work in Aa Naluguru again. Cinematography is dull, performances pedestrian.

Kaveri Jha and Surya Tej do their parts well but are wasted. This story is an unmitigated disaster in every aspect. A 50 year old winning formula regurgitated.
