Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Story of the film is simple and predictable. But the backdrop of USA offers some variety. Direction by Yogesh is partly OK. He could able to introduce and establish all primary characters well. But he could not run the story with interesting narration in the middle of the film. But he manages the climax decently. He handles some of the humor scenes well. However there are a few inspired comedy scenes like exam scene (Mr. Bean series), kitikilu 2008 (windows 2008 Telugu version forward mail) etc. There is some toilet humor too. Narration of the film is slow.The first half an hour of the film is pretty good. It slows down after that and the film picks up again from the last song (bagunde bagunde). The plus points of the film are Venkatesh and mother sentiment. On the flip side, the latter part of the first half and the former part of the second half should have been made in an interesting way. The mother sentiment and the marriage ambiance towards the climax could attract the Venky's strong base of family crowds. On a whole, Chintakayala Ravi is an OK film if you can excuse bit of screenplay glitches in the middle of the film.
The first half of the film is okay, second half is worse. The only good thing about the movie is venky's acting and his trademark comedy. May be that will bring some families to the theaters.Vishal sekhar does a reasonable job on the music. One of the songs "bagunde bagunde" is pretty good.The store line is predictable. There are many plot holes. Screenplay is good. Backdrop of USA in the first half offers something for the viewers The character development is bad. Too many things going around in too little time. It looks as if many clips are somehow merged together.Even a scene from hum tum is copied as is, and it is a shame that its done so badly.All in all a mediocre film. I will give it a 3/10. Go watch it if you are venky fan(You'll watch it anyway if you're)
