Story

Chandram (Srikanth) is a cab driver and a honest man. His wife is Kalyani (Meera Jasmine). They are a childless couple. When Kalyani gets tested positive for pregnancy, the doc tells him that she needs to be operated to avoid complications. The operation would cost around 8 lacs. Being a middle class man, Chandram doesn't have that much money. That is when he comes across an accident on railway track where the body of an unidentified woman is found. He also finds a bag with lots of money beside the corpse. his friend advise him to tell the cops that the dead woman is his wife. He gets the postmortem done and manages the cops and doctor. He finds out that the dead girl is Ramya (Sada). Parents of Ramya come to know about it and ask chandram to do the final rites as they thought that he is her husband (she elopes from house with her boyfriend). The story takes turn when Ramya returns at the time of last rites. The rest of the story is about the mystery behind Ramya and how Chandram manages with two wives at a time.

Artists Performance

Srikanth is at his best as always in this movie. Meera Jasmine put on a bit of weight, but is good in acting department. Sada did a glamorous role in this movie and she is adequate. Telangana Sakuntala is good. Krishna Bhagawan provides some relief. Raghubabu is not good in this movie as his characterization is irritating. Apoorva did a vamp character who is more interested in cleavage show. The comedy thread between Brahmanandam and kovai Sarala is hackneyed. Sunil is wasted in a role of investigating officer. MS Narayana is okay. Ali's character is also uninteresting.

Technical departments

Screenplay - directon: This film belongs to typical Priyadarshan comedy genre that is linked to a crime element. The director tried to mix comedy and sentiment in this movie. The taking and treatment of the movie is mainly targeted at the masses of B and C centers. Hence there is over-dramatized sentiment and over-the-top vulgarity in comedy. Screenplay of the movie runs on predictable lines. Direction is best suited for the hardcore masses.

Other departments: Music composed by MM Sreelekha has followed the style of S Raj Kumar. Dialogues are adequate. Cinematography by Vijay C Kumar is average. Dialogues are fair. Editing should have been crisp.

Analysis: Director Srinivasa Reddy who made a name for himself in comedy department by churning out comedy films on low budget seem to have got carried away with this movie. This film has age-old formula, completely predictable screenplay and inane direction. A aa e ee is mainly aimed towards the masses in B and C centers and it caters to their sensibilities. It is a disappointing movie for others.

Story

kurradu Varun (Varun Sandesh) is a youngster from a middle class family. He is passionate about bikes and it's his dream to own a bike. Varun completes his graduation and bides his time on roaming around with friends and he blames his father for his failure as he didn't buy a bike for him. Hurt with the callous remark of his son, the father gives 70,000 rupees (which he kept aside for his daughter's marriage) to his son Varun. Varun buys a bike and uses it positively to get a job of recovery agent for a bank. It's a prerequisite to have a bike in order to do that job. His bike is stolen during one night and later he traces the stolen bike and realizes that it is with a gang of dope smugglers. The rest of the story is all about how he recovers his bike against all odds.

Artists Performance

kurradu Varun Sandesh has improved a lot in acting and dialogue delivery compared to his earlier movies. However, his small-framed body didn't suit the action sequences in the movie. Neha Sharma definitely looks better than what we have seen in her debut film Chiruta movie and she is adequate. Jai Venu entertains with his funny English as an auto driver. Ravi Shankar (Bommali fame dubbing artist) did the role of a gangster and he is pretty good. The guys who did the role of his brother and bullet are impressive. Tanikella Bharani is extremely good in sentimental scenes. Ali is wasted in a separate comedy track. MS Narayana's single scene cameo is just okay.

Technical departments

kurraduStory: Kurradu is a remake of a Tamil blockbuster titled 'Polladhavan' (which means mondodu). This story has roots in Italian black and white classic Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thief). Bicycle Thief movie is about recession times where the livelihood of an entire family depends on the guy whose job is to stick movie posters to walls. It is absolutely necessary to have cycle without which the entire family would be deprived of bread and butter. A Telugu movie titled Ride (jeevi review here) with similar theme was recently released in Telugu. In that movie also they have shown the owning bike as a necessity than a passion. But in this movie, owning bike is more of a passion than a a dire need.

kurraduScreenplay - directon: A story of this type needs tremendous screenplay and gripping narration from the director. Though the director handled sentimental scenes and establishment of the villain well, he couldn't narrate the story in an arresting manner. Screenplay of the film is poor. There is no tempo in the movie and the narration doesn't make us eagerly look forward about what would happen next.

kurraduOther departments: Music by Achu is good to ears, but the picturization and placement of songs should have been better. Cinematography by Sarvesh Murari creates a mood to the movie. Dialogue are adequate. However, the quality of photography should be rich in the movie and the slow-motion scenes in the climax are poor. Stunts in the movie are realistic. We expect better production values and quality post production for a film from a big banner like Anandi Arts.

kurraduAnalysis: First half of the movie is adequate and second half is little boring. Kurradu is a film about the passion of a youngster towards his newly bought motorcycle. Such movies should be handled with dexterity and sensitivity. The filmmakers could able to remake the scenes, but couldn't translate the much required soul in to the Telugu version. We have to wait and see how it works at the box office.
