Hussain Sha Kiran shot to fame with 'Nannaku Prematho' as he was the one who penned this intelligent yet heart-warming story. At the audio launch event, Sukumar called him up on the stage and heaped praises. Even before the release of 'Nannaku Prematho', Hussai Sha Kiran began working on his directorial debut 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' taking the support of Allu Aravind & some of his friends. The promos generated good buzz and the film is aimed at winning the hearts of Youth. Let's see what this youthful subject is all about…
Synopsis:
Aadi (Tarun Shetty), a happy-go-lucky guy, is poor in studies and spends most of his time hanging out with close buddies. One fine day, Aadi meets his Junior Priya (Avantika). Falling for the tricks played by Aadi, Priya accepts his love proposal. That's when Aadi reveals all of his tricks to her, still Priya continues to love him. However, Differences crop up between the Love Birds after some time as Priya can't handle Aadi's irresponsible behaviour anymore. They decide to maintain a gap between them for six months. What happened in those 6 months? Is there any change in Aadi during this period?
Performance:
Almost all the actors in 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' were debutantes. Most importantly, All of them behave like real-life characters. Tarun Shetty looks handsome and impresses with his acting prowess. He, however, ruins the impact by being very casual in few pivotal scenes. Avantika of 'Maya' fame has changed a lot for her second film. She attained slim figure and scores brownie points with her performance.
Out of all, Its Kireeti (played Bridegroom in Uyyala Jampala) who steals the show with his comic timing. He stood as a major asset to the movie. Jenny is alright. The Actor who played Heroine's Father did a fine job. Rest of the cast did justice to their roles.
Plus Points:
Comedy
Cinematography
Minus Points:
Narration
Second Half
Technicalities:
All the Technicians have extended good co-operation to the Director. Songs composed by Sravan have been soothing to the ears. Even the Background Score isn't bad. Cinematographer Surya Vinay did a marvelous job. The visuals have been so nice inspite of the budget constraint. Dialogues were okay. Hussain Sha Kiran showed his calibre as a writer and director in few sequences but failed to leave a strong impression. He, however, made a honest attempt to hit the right chord with the audience.
Analysis:
In one particular scene of 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme', Heroine tells her Father about the guy she is madly in love with and conveys she can't imagine her life without him even though he is weak in academics, smokes cigar & drinks alcohol. The elderly gentleman then asks her to invite Hero for a meeting with him. Before Heroine could leave the place, The Father claims he is well aware of why she disclosed all the negative aspects of her Boyfriend. 'As you have pointed out all the negative traits already, There is no room for complaint from my side and I will get impressed if I notice a single positive aspect in him. Is this what you feel?,' he asks. This one sequence is a reflection of the spark in Director Hussain Sha Kiran.
'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' entertains in bits & parts but fails to leave a strong impression. Few good scenes can't make a film success and overall packaging is the key. Hussain Sha Kiran tried to present a new age love story with characters close to the reality. Comedy Scenes between Hero & his Friend Kireeti of 'Uyyala Jampala' fame worked big time. All the roles & concept were contemporary to help present day Youth connect well easily.
Although the concept chosen is impressive, Narration has been a let down & better screenplay could have certainly made 'MMMM' a winner at Box Office. The way Director handled the Love Story and Break-Up looks silly. Even the strong emotion that's a must has been missing in the sequence which establish separation of lovers.
Director focussed mainly on humor in the First Half and comes out with flying colors. In the crucial Second Half where he has to deal with the story, Hussain Sha Kiran fails to bring an emotional connect and the impression that he built with First Half gets ruined with senseless scenes. Overall, 'MMMM' is a youthful entertainer with some flaws.
Bottom Line: Comedy Works - Emotion Fails!
