Trailer Review: MCA

If we have to describe the first half of MCA's trailer in two words, they would be: Role reversal.  The film's writers and director have attempted an amusing, not-so-tricky role reversal strategy to create refreshing characterizations.

Since the beginning of the civilization, it's the girl who has been subjected to unpaid domestic work.  For a change, it's a male who is (funnily) suffocated by so much of domestic chores.  To make the matters more matriarchal, he is at the beck and call of a woman, his 'vadina', played by Bhumika Chawla.  

Yet another sexy role reversal is the way Sai Pallavi becomes Telugu hero-like and seems to stalk and pester the boy to marry her!  To make the matters more feminine, the heroine-like hero is seen telling himself that he will boldly ask her as to what she likes about him!  This is so cute!  

But when it's action time, the Natural Star is no longer unnatural.  "Maadi middle class anna.  Ardharupai petrol dhara perugutundante ardharatri ara kilometer queue lo nilabadutamu," he says.  If 'MCA' were a party, this line would be its election-time catchphrase.

Also starring Vijay Varma, Rajeev Kanakala, senior Naresh, Amani and others, it has dialogues by Mamidala Tirupathi and Srikanth Vissa.   Art direction is by Ramanjaneyulu.  The cinematography is by Diwakar Mani.    Devi Sri Prasad's album is already out.
