My Home AP - Face of Andhra Pradesh

Story: Though there are no good points in the story, its only screenplay and treatment that saved the movie. Srinivas Goud (Srihari) a famous don in old city, who cares for his sister, Pooja (Genelia) a lot. Ballu (Supreeth) a rival don to Srinivas Goud wants to kill Pooja, as Srinivas Goud kills his only son. Srinivasa Rao aka Babloo (Vishnu) a clever and mischievous guy, joins as an employee in the accounts department of Srinivas Goud. Babloo impresses Srinivas Goud a lot. Mean time Pooja fell in love with Babloo.Babloo saves Pooja from two murder attempts by Ballu gang. Srinivas Goud wants his sister to get married to a NRI guy. Worried by the proceedings Pooja forces Babloo to elope .Interval card appears soon after a murder attempt on pooja went in vain by Ballu gang.

Second half starts off quickly, with good hide and seeks by Babloo and Pooja from Srinivas Goud. There is a right mix of mind games and also good humor.The tempo goes down a bit when the NRI guy, Ajay comes to India.But it recover quickly towards the end of the movie. Rest of the story deals with how Babloo managed to win his lady luck Pooja? How Babloo saved Poooja from Ballu gang?

Screenplay and Direction: Screenplay is the only saving grace for the film. Srinu Vytla worked very hard to make sure that he is pouring old wine in a new bottle in a successful way. Entire movie is too racy, where as first half scores over second half. Entire first half rolls of quickly with not even a single boring moment, where as second half got few scenes, but they are ignorable. Direction By Srinu Vytla is very good, he did a good home work on the story. This movie in fact his best till date. For him handling comedy scenes is a cakewalk, and he did proved it yet again. He did handled some action scenes in a good way. Overall major credit in the movie success must be given to him.

Music: Songs are just passable. In fact music will be one drawback for the movie. All the songs are forgettable except Kanupapa idi telusa. Background music is typical Chakri's kind, which is noisy at times.

Photography: Photography by Prasad Murella is a adequate. He handled all the scenes in brown tone. He captured action episodes in a appreciable way.

Editing : Editing by Marthand K venkatesh is good. He used all editing techniques in a good way. Slide technique, flash technique used in a good way. His scissor worked good in the episode where Ballu gang attacks Srinivas goud and kidnaps pooja when they are on the way to Yaadagiri Gutta.

Artists Performance :

Vishnu : He improved a lot than compared to his earlier films. This will be a land mark film for him in terms of performance, but not to forget he has a long way to go. His comedy timing improved in a significant way, his combination scenes with Brahmanandam evoked huge laughter.. As usual his ease in stunts and dances is first rate. But a serious work must be done on his body language.

Genelia : She got a important role,around whom the story is built. Her performance is very good in few scenes. She looked extremely gorgeous in some costumes.

Srihari : Srihari, did best in a cakewalk role for him. He is very good in emotional scenes too.

Dr Brahmanandam : Undisputed champion of Tollywood's Comedy empire, proves yet again why he got a concreted top slot among the rest. He is amazing in this movie. After a long time he is doing a full length comedy role, and I can say he outperformed. Best of Brahmanandam in recent times, he assured repeat run for the movie. In Dhee, as usual his expressions speaks.

How is the movie?

A complete time pass for 2hr 40 minutes, with a tight screenplay and best comedy episodes that are blessed with superb performances lead by Brahmanandam followed by Chandramohan, Sunil and Jaya Prakash Reddy. This is the best movie in 2007 so far. You can surely watch it once, with no second thoughts. A clean family entertainer with tickling's comedy, what else you want in hot summer.

Final Verdict:

Since there is no star value, openings are weak. But the movie picked up very well, once mouth talk is on air. This movie is a definite hit and can be taken to next level with flaw less promotion.
