'Vachchadu Gelichadu' Review

Story
Ramana (Nanda) is unable to digest the fact that his mother gets married to another man after his father dies. Moreover, she gives birth to another son Arjun (Jiiva). Unable to forget his real father and unable to accept his new father, Ramana develops hatred for Arjun and throws him in a well during childhood and escapes to Mumbai.

Years pass by and Ramana becomes a big don in Mumbai. The story takes a turn when the grown up Arjun comes to him with a special request. He wants Ramana to surrender to the police so that he can marry his girlfriend Anjana (Taapsee). Apparently, Ramana is responsible for Anjana’s father’s death so she sets the condition that Ramana should surrender. Arjun starts pestering Ramana constantly. To make things worse, Ramana discovers that Arjun is none other than his step brother who he threw in the well many years ago. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances
The plus point for Jiiva is he is versatile and any director can shape him in the image he wants. So, audience tends to accept him in action or any other genre. The same is the case here and Telugu audience will connect to him.

Nanda looks mean and cruel enough to be don but doesn’t have the appearance to prove he can shake Mumbai. That’s why his character was not that convincing.

Taapsee is tolerable with curly hair but if she is seen in straight hair then it would be ugly. Director did his best to show her as dream girl. It is better not to talk about her acting.

Santhanam was a disappointment. More than entertainment, his comedy was irritating. Rehman was regular. Rachana Maurya was okay. The others didn’t get the required scope to display their performances.

Drawbacks

Slow narration
Weak screenplay
Irritating comedy
Analysis
The doubt that comes to mind while watching the film is what made Jiiva accept it. The answer is got in the climax. Maybe that twist must have convinced the artists to accept this project.

But that alone is not sufficient to run a film. The rest of the film should be good for creating an impact with that twist. The screenplay should have been prepared like that.

Anyways, if the director focused on entertainment along with justifying his script, the result would have been better. Moreover, the twist that we are talking about is already seen in Prabhas’s ‘Darling’ so for us it is nothing new.
