Sharathulu Vartisthai Review
Sharatulu Varthistayi portrays the story of a small government employee from a lower-middle-class family who fights back against the system when it takes them for granted and fails to support them.
Story:
Chiranjeevi (Chaitanya Rao Madadi), a government employee from a middle-class family, has been in love with Vijayshanti (Bhoomi Shetty) since childhood. After overcoming initial obstacles, they marry with the blessings of their elders. Chiranjeevi is portrayed as a grounded and realistic individual, while Vijayashanti, his mother Lachchavva (Padmavathi), and his friends Sudhakar (Sai), Rajesh (Venky Monkey), and Sunny (Shiva Kalyan) have lofty aspirations.
The story unfolds as the couple navigates their ambitions and relationships, including Chiranjeevi's sister Sreeja (Shruti), brother Charan (Nabeel Afridi), his boss Harikrishna (Nandakishore), and local leader Shankar Anna (Santosh Yadav). The narrative explores how their differing dreams and personalities shape their lives and interactions, leading to various developments in the story.
Analysis:
Kumara Swamy's direction in Sharatulu Varthisthayi presents a story that, while blending romance with the theme of easy money schemes, feels predictable and routine. While the concept has potential, the execution falls short, primarily due to the thin storyline.
The film starts by establishing the romantic relationship between the lead characters, then shifts focus to the easy money scheme. The first half sets up the impact of the scheme, while the second half revolves around catching the culprits. However, the narrative suffers from routine elements, a slow pace, and repetitive scenes, resulting in a below-average film.
The dialogues are average and follow a predictable pattern, while the screenplay and direction lack innovation. Some fine-tuning of the script and a more engaging screenplay could have improved the overall impact.
Gajjala Rakshith Kumar's editing is disappointing, with many repetitive and routine scenes affecting the flow of the story. Arun Chiluvuru and Suresh Bobbili's music is passable, with few songs attempting to showcase Telangana culture but failing to make a mark. Prince Henry's background score is average. On a positive note, Praveen Vanamali's cinematography effectively captures the essence of Karimnagar locations in a realistic manner. However, the production values are below par.
Overall, Sharatulu Varthisthayi struggles to stand out due to its predictable storyline, lackluster execution, and subpar technical aspects.
Verdict:
Sharatulu Varthisthayi, directed by Kumara Swamy, carries a noble intention of shedding light on the dangers of easy money schemes and advocating for vigilance among the public. However, the film falls short of delivering this message effectively due to its reliance on routine elements, serial-like narration, and substandard production values.
The storyline, though well-intentioned, fails to engage the audience due to its predictable nature and lack of creativity. The film's pacing and presentation contribute to its shortcomings, with the narrative failing to make a significant impact.
While the film's message is important, it gets lost amidst the film's shortcomings. With a more innovative approach to storytelling and improved production values, "Sharatulu Varthisthayi" could have effectively conveyed its message to a wider audience.
