Okka Ammayi Thappa Movie Review
Sundeep Kishan pinned a lot of hopes on Okka Ammayi Thappa. He was all excited as the film got closer to the release date. Rajasimha Tadinada, a noted writer has turned director with this film. Posters and the title have raised interest over the film, check out here whether Okka Ammayi Thappa turned out to be a entertainer or torture to its audience.
What is it about?
Krishna Vachan (Sundeep Kishan) and Mango (Nitya Menon) are stuck in traffic on a flyover. Hardly any vehicle moves forward because of an accident and little does Krishna and Mango know that it is a terrorist ploy. Krishna Vachan comes to know that Mango is his childhood lover and tries to get in touch with her. Meanwhile he gets caught in the web of dreaded terrorist Anwar (Ravi Kishan), who makes Krishna Vachan follow his orders by threatening to kill Mango.
Performances:
Sundeep Kishan is alright in the lead role. His chemistry with Nitya Menon is impressive. The style and attitude shown by him when the protagonist gets on top of his game is good. Nitya Menen has very little to do in this film. Wonder why she opted to do this film as she is known to be very selective about her choices. Ravi Kishan is over the top. Ajay is okay. Ali is funny at times. Tagubothu Ramesh and Prudhvi add little value. Brahmaji also is wasted in a miniscule role. There is nothing to say about the other star cast that hardly makes their presence felt.
Technicalities:
Rajasimha chose a very weak script for his debut as a director. The plot seems interesting but he has totally failed with the execution part. It is hard to keep things interested when the lead characters are caught on a flyover for more than eighty percent of the screen time. Rajasimha could've made it a taut thriller, but his attempt to play to the galleries has backfired.
Micky J Meyer music is not impressive. BGM is terrible. It is surprising to see an ace cinematographer like Chota K. Naidu come up with such a substandard product. Editing is bad. Production values are not up to the mark.
Thumbs Up:
Nitya Menon screen presence
Thumbs Down:
Screenplay
Direction
Music
Analysis:
Okka Ammayi Thappa has an intriguing setup. Almost three quarters of the film runs on a flyover, which is first of its kind in Telugu cinema. Concepts like these need to have very good technical values, taut screenplay and extraordinary performances. Sadly Okka Ammayi Thappa doesn't check any of the boxes above.
Rajasimha tried to play it safe by inserting comedy and action into the proceedings that certainly didn't help the cause. This film could have been better if it is had a runtime of ninety minutes. Despite the intriguing premise there isn't one moment where we are thrilled and excited about the proceedings.
Director's attempt to generate the patriotic feel also backfired due to bad writing. At least the film had an opportunity to redeem itself towards the climax, but the director refused to do so. Sundeep Kishan has been looking for an opportunity to break the monotony and do some niche films.
No wonder he is all excited about OAT as the script should have sounded exciting on the paper, but sadly for him it turned out to be one of the most torturous experiences at the theaters in recent times.
Verdict: Everything else is a Mess, Okka Ammayi (Nitya) Thappa!
