Pelli Choopulu Movie Review
What is it about?
Prashanth (Vijay) is a confused guy who is passionate about cooking. He meets Chitra (Ritu) who has high aspirations in life. They both have different ideologies and mindsets, but they come together to get a step closer to their aims. However things don't go as planned for them.
Performances:
Vijay Devarakonda who has put up an impressive show in 'Yevade Subramanyam' has once again came up with a natural yet striking performance in this film. He keeps it simple even in the emotional scenes. He is a treat to watch. Ritu Varma has got an author backed role. She is a fine actress that she made the most of it. Priya Darsi as hero's friend is an asset to the film. His comedy timing and dialog delivery are superb. Abhay complemented him well. Anish Kuruvilla of Anand fame shined in his role. Kedar Shankar and Gururaj have played their part.
Technicalities:
Tharun Bhascker who has started off with short films took a simple plot for his debut feature film and narrated it in an entertaining way. He made sure to get the best output of his resources. He is surely a talent to watch out for.
Music by Vivek Sagar is superb. He did a fabulous job with the background score. Nagesh's camera work is pleasant. In fact it is one of the best assets of this film. Editing is neat. Producers should be appreciated for backing this idea and the new director. Production values are good even if it is made on a budget.

Analysis:
Pelli Choopulu doesn't have a great story line. However, young director Tharun narrated it in a refreshingly striking way which is ably supported by the cast and the technical crew. First half of the film is particularly impressive and totally paisa vasool with relatable characters and lots of freshness in its screenplay.
Vijay's encounters with his ex girlfriend, call center episode and his attempt at making prank videos will leave you in splits. Director effortlessly mixes humor into the proceedings without deviating from the plot. Director had full clarity and command over his craft that there is absolutely no confusion in screenplay in spite of narrating two stories simultaneously during the first hour.
Second half is a bit emotional compared to the first half as the characters get serious about what they do. Few emotional scenes in the second half are truly impressive. On the flip side, the story gets predictable in the second half. Climax also isn't that effective. But that is not a big deal. All in all Pelli Choopulu is a breezy entertainer that will leave a smile on your face.
Verdict: Refreshing Romance.

It doesn't matter if you have star parents - if you deliver a flop, filmmakers stop taking your calls, says Abhishek Bachchan, son of Indian cinematic icon Amitabh Bachchan.
Abhishek's career graph since his debut with Refugee in 2000 shows high and low points. If his performances in films like Guru, Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Dostana and Bol Bachchan have been applauded, he has also earned his share of criticism for some of his career choices.
"I've completed 16 years in the industry and it has been a mix of highs and lows. There has been tremendous learning and I'm still hungry to do a lot more. It's been a great journey and it makes me happy and proud that I'm a part of this industry," Abhishek told IANS in an email interview arranged by Omega, the official timekeeper of Olympics. Abhishek is the brand ambassador for Omega.
"The low phase that I went through, I think, was necessary. It teaches you a lot. I believe there is no success without failure. It keeps you grounded and makes you appreciate things," Abhishek said when asked about his time in the industry.
He admits a flop film doesn't leave one feeling good.
"If we give a flop film, people stop taking our calls; then it does not matter whose kid you are. It's true that a flop is the worst feeling in the world and destroys you as a human being," added the 40-year-old actor.
An ardent believer in the power of staying positive, Abhishek said: "If you want good things to happen in your life, you first have to believe good things are possible for yourself".
"Every actor is very emotional and so am I. I feel it's important to learn to see the brighter side of life, and possess a sense of humour for that. My sense of humour has saved me many times when I have felt low," Abhishek said.
"When you are low, you have to be very positive and think of the bright side. And I think I am a very positive person," said Abhishek. He is married to actress Aishwarya Rai and they are parents to have daughter Aaradhya.
Abhishek said that he is not even affected by trolls on social media, which have often hit out at him for his choice of movies.
"If you are present on a social platform, you are available to everything on it and that's fair. It's all in jest and for fun. I just feel that once in a while, it's nice to give back to them some of their own medicine. And it's fun," he said.
However, he said, he stops being interactive when trolls cross a line. "The minute they stop being witty about it and start getting abusive, there's no more fun and you stop. That's it, but I enjoy it," he added.
Interestingly, the social media has emerged as a platform where actors whole-heartedly appreciate the work of their colleagues - this, despite the competition in the film industry.
"Definitely! There is no harm in appreciating good work. I believe in supporting and encouraging my peers. I think tinselville is going past the cliched catfights and is coming together in support of each other on all platforms," he said.
So far, the makers have not announced the film's heroine or the villain. In the Tamil original, Bollywood star Neil Nitin Mukesh's menacing act in the villain's role received a huge applause and thus, curiosity about the Telugu villain was high.

Incidentally, Chiru and Anjala Jhaveri acted together in films like Choodalani Undi and Shankardada MBBS. Anjala's last film in Tollywood was Shekar Kammula's Life Is Beautiful. On the other hand, Tarun Arora is gaining popularity in Tamil films with his villain roles in films like Kanithan and Kaththi Sandai. -
