Hero Nara Rohit has been doing diverse films regardless of success or failure in his career. He recently acted in a romantic entertainer film titled 'Sundarakanda'. Nara Rohit initially impressed with different concept films when he entered Tollywood as a hero and achieved good success. He became known as a hero with good taste. After that, the films he did did not entertain the audience much. In addition, there were criticisms about his acting. After a gap, he came back to the audience with the film Pratinidhi 2 last year. This film also did not find much popularity. Now he has come with a story that suits his age called Sundarakanda. Venkatesh Nimmalapudi made his debut as a director with this film. In this film, Sridevi Vijay Kumar and Vrithi Vaghani acted as the heroines opposite Nara Rohit. This film is jointly produced by Santosh Chinnapolla, Gautham Reddy and Rakesh Mahaankali. The film, which impressed with its teaser and trailer, was released on Wednesday (August 27) on the occasion of Vinayaka Chavithi. This is the film in which hero Nara Rohit stars after his re-entry with Pratinidhi 2. How much did this film, which has a crazy love story, impress the audience? Has Nara Rohit finally scored a hit? Let's find out how the film is...
Story: Even though he is approaching his forties, Siddharth (Nara Rohit), an old bachelor, is having difficulty getting married. He keeps rejecting girls for various reasons during his marriage proposals. Even though marriage becomes a big problem for him in life, he does not compromise on the qualities he wants. In such situations, he falls in love with Aira (Vrithi Vaghni) at first sight. Since she also has the qualities he wants, he falls deeply in love. However, Aira's mother Vaishnavi (Sridevi Vijay Kumar) becomes an obstacle to Siddhu's marriage. Overcoming the problem of marrying Aira, Siddhu steps in to convince Vaishnavi. What qualities does Siddhu look for in a future wife? What is the problem Siddhu faces in getting married? What kind of difficulties did his love for a senior girl in school bring in his childhood? How did he fall in love with Aira? How did Vaishnavi become a problem for Aira's marriage? Why Vaishnavi? How did she have to convince him? What was Sidhu's problem with Vaishnavi? Did Vaishnavi agree to Sidhu's marriage with Aira? The movie Sundarakanda is an emotional and entertaining story about the difficulties Sidhu faced in marrying Aira.
Overall, this is a sensitive plot. The director's choice of this story is like a sword on a sword. If in the film 'Sundarakanda' starring Venkatesh, Venkatesh loves the student Aparna.. in this film, the lecturer loves the student. The director has added entertainment to such a typical concept and made it happen. The first part is very fun.. entertainment. Meanwhile, the story takes a strange turn with the interval bang. However, there is interest in what will happen in the second half. This is the key moment in the story. In the first part, the song and fights filmed on Nara Rohit seemed a bit troublesome for the story. However, after that, the director covered that boring element with a good scene and a good dialogue. The director especially wrote the dialogues well. There are many good and entertaining dialogues in this movie. However, if it is very strange to listen to, the director has dealt with the main point of this story like a director with good experience. Although some scenes here and there seemed to be stretched, the director immediately covered it in the next scene, so the movie continued to be interesting throughout. The logic of whether you get angry if you get your clothes wet when you get a little shade, the comedy conversations like, "If someone wants to invite you to our house for dinner, we will invite you with food." These things have entertained many audiences. The director has presented a strange concept that everyone has come to know after the first half in a very convincing way. Especially the way he has presented it in the opening scenes is a testament to his talent as a director and writer. Enjoying love.. Unless there is a lot of clarity on it.. the trickiness and complexity of love cannot be revealed on screen. Director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi.. has crafted the story as if he is mature in the matter of love. Touching the layers of love one by one.. he has shown love, love, marriage, and life close to reality. In fact, the story line chosen by the director is short, but.. the big task is to convey it convincingly. The point revealed in the interval twist is crucial to the story. 'Love your mother and marry her child.. and go back to your mother to convince her to marry' seems very difficult for the audience to accept. But.. this is good.. the director has crafted the story in a very convincing way as if he has balanced it well. The way he started the story.. the way he took it forward.. he made the story interesting with the interval twist. Adding entertainment to every scene he wrote was a plus for this movie. Since he is the writer of his story.. the words written by the director exploded very much. He expressed heavy emotions with simple words like 'A lie is like rain.. it does not stop with a single drop'. Director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi has succeeded in providing the audience with the entertainment they need by playing in the same vein of love, emotion and comedy.

When it comes to technical aspects... Cinematography, music, and art work are special attractions. Pradeep Varma has captured the beauty of Vizag wonderfully on camera. The color palette chosen to show the scenes beautifully is good. Every frame has been beautifully crafted to please the eye. Although the songs are not that great... Leon James' background score is amazing. Many scenes have been made feel good with music. The point chosen by director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi is good. It is new and very unique. The fun and drama woven around it is impressive. The way he has dealt with a complex point is wow. The art work done by Rajesh Pentakota in this film is very good. Rohan needs to sharpen his scissors. The production values followed by Santosh Chinnapolla, Gautham Reddy, and Rakesh Mahankali are good. The production design, which is set up according to the film, is also very neat. To finally talk about 'Sundarakanda'.. A regular, routine family drama that is well known to the Telugu film audience. Debutant director Venkatesh has crafted this film in a way that provides entertainment to the audience for two and a half hours by combining comedy and love elements. Overall, it can be said that it will be a fun movie that can be watched with the family. The director takes a little more time to establish Sidhu's character in the first half, introduce other characters, and tell the story in detail.. Did he stretch the film intentionally? There is a suspicion that he took time until the interval to create a problem in the story. Otherwise, the screenplay followed by director Venkatesh after creating a conflict in the story is good. The way he moved the story forward by creating a twist and a problem every five minutes and clearing it is good. However, the issue between Vaishnavi and Sidhu's characters is very sensitive. It must be said that this film has become a success only because of the way it was dealt with with great maturity. Director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi can be said to have delivered a solid work in his first film. His balanced story is especially impressive in the film. The way the characters are designed, the way they are carried out, the twists and so on show his vision. If he maintains the same style in the future, it seems that he will have a good future. Overall.. Sundarakanda is a feel-good movie. When it is raining cold outside, how much we enjoy eating tender corn with a bowl in our hands.. This film also goes like that. You can go with your family and enjoy it comfortably... So why delay..?
