Story, Screenplay & Direction: Vara Mullapudi
Release Date: 24th June 2016
Vara Mullapudi (S/O of Iconic Writer Mullapudi Ramana & Son-in-Law of Legendary Director Bapu) attempted direction twice in the past. Neither NTR's slapstick comedy 'Naa Alludu' nor Allari Naresh's thriller 'Visakha Express' helped him establish as a Director. In his third attempt, He made a love story set in rural backdrop. Can Vara Mullapudi leave a mark of his own at least with 'Kundanapu Bomma'?
Synopsis:
Suchitra (Chandini Chowdhary), a Vizianagaram native, falls in love with a Car Mechanic Vasu (Sudheer Varma). However, Her Father Mahadeva Raju always wanted to marry off her to close relative's son Gopi (Sudhakar). For some reason, Gopi is against this alliance and hence the marriage gets delayed. Now, The Love Birds seek Gopi's help to convey their love matter to Mahadeva Raju. Has Gopi fulfilled the wish of Suchitra & Vasu? What consequences did the Lovers face?
Performances:
If the Story & Screenplay were so weak, Actors could do nothing much and that's what happens in the case of 'Kundanapu Bomma' as well. Chandini Chowdary looked beautiful but she hardly managed to win the hearts with acting prowess. Debutante Sudheer Varma has done a fine job. Rajeev Kanakala performs well and he generates humor. Sudhakar was wasted. Nagineedu's role ends abruptly. Jhansi and Shakalaka Shankar fails to tickle the funny bone.
Pros:
Rajeev Kanakala
Cinematography
Cons:
Music
Screenplay
Direction
Technicalities:
Don't expect MM Keeravani-mark music in 'Kundanapu Bomma'. Both Songs and Background Score were below-par. A song recorded by KV Mahadevan for Bapu has been remixed for this movie and its alright. Cinematography is good. Dialogues were outdated. Editing is poor. Production Values were okay. Vara Mullapudi continued to deliver unimpressive stuff inspite of two big blows in the past.
Analysis:
First things first, 'Naa Alludu' & 'Visakha Express' looks better than 'Kundanapur Bomma' in every aspect. This statement gives a clear picture of how this rustic love story has shaped up. Vara Mullapudi messed it completely with Outdated Story/Screenplay, Emotions which don't elevate an any point and Cliched Comedy Blocks.
Heroine falls in love with Hero just for helping her in Examination. One can expect how this love story has ended after knowing about this one sequence. Silly jokes which were doing rounds on WhatsApp have been included in Comedy Scenes. Even Chiru's English translation comedy in 'Shankardada MBBS' wasn't spared. Although the actual intention is to make it an out & out entertainer, Poor writing and bad execution kept irritating the Viewer. The only time audience laugh is during the Emotional Scenes and that's an indication of how bad they were.
Except for Rajeev Kanakala's role and couple of jokes, 'Kundanapu Bomma' lacks any positives. Its tiring to watch this poorly scripted flick till the end cards. Which means, Vara Mullapudi has scored a Hat-Trick!
Bottom Line: Better Stay Away!
