Why is life beautiful?
Because it has ups and downs, dreams to chase, friends to share moments and many more.
Well, the film is all about these mixed feelings. And Sekhar Kammula chose to show case all these from the view of a young guy who shifts to city, into his relatives house, along with his sisters. In the course of the film he makes friends, involves in street fights, faces problems, learns to take responsibilities and also experiences love.
The whole movie is set in the back drop of a gated community divided into a rich phase, called the Gold phase and a middle class one, the B phase.
The director some how seems to be obsessed with the "rich-poor conflicts" among the youngsters of the two phases and creates a lot of situations for them to fight upon. The whole movie starts moving in that direction and our hero and his friends starts failing in their efforts to be on par with their rich counterparts.
Suddenly the story takes a turn as the Hero learns about the ensuing tragedy in his family and Mr. Hero realizes that life is about more important things like studies and career. He then cracks a very tough interview and everything falls in place automatically and miraculously!! Even the bad rich guys realize that happiness is not about money which he comes and confesses to the hero. And we are clueless as to why?
Coming to casting all are new faces and they fit to their roles except Kaushik (abhi). His character reminds us of Tyson from happy days and comparatively he has done a very bad job. Amala makes a screen appearance after a very long time, but her role is very brief. Anjala javeri is very beautiful even after so many years. Shreya looks amazing on the screen, but has not much role to play. Abhijeet in the lead role did a decent job. Shagun Kaur as paddu is very beautiful and did a good job. Sudhakar who played nagaraju is worth a special mention. He suits the role perfectly and has good acting skills.
Music is good especially the background score. The song lyrics are not up-to the mark, but the picturization of songs is very lively in the usual Sekhar style.
The movie drags on for 3 hours for no reason. The story fails to impress but some dialogues have the punch and entertain. The script is not very strong and there are many loose ends. Lots of characters add to the confusion in the storyline. For all the expectations aroused for a Sekhar Kammula film it disappoints and does not belong to the league of his previous good films.
