I had the same feeling when I heard the title of this film, as my dad is one of the most important persons in my life, and I am my dad's pet. So with this aura I went to watch the movie.
The director Sukumar's last movie, 1 Nenuokkadine was a very intelligent movie. Though the film flopped I enjoyed it a lot. The story was way ahead of its time.
I can only jot down the good and the bad about the film, Nanaku Prematho in points:
The Good:
- The story, intriguing
- Jagapathi Babu, he is doing an amazing job as a antagonist. His work was on par with Jr. NTR. I am biased, yes, but I am helpless :).
- The entire look of the movie. Jr. NTR's look was nice and different.
- Rakul Preet Singh did a good job. Her efforts did show up on the screen.
- The execution of the story. It had a lot of potential. But it was just not well done.
- Silly mistake: In an earlier scene, NTR tells JB Nov. 1 is his last day as a rich guy and in a later scene, JB calls NTR and tells him that today is Sep. 1??? What happened here??
- Too many calculations, reminded me of my Physics lectures! Was it necessary?
- Too much weightage to Jr. NTR. Other characters were not given their due.
- Srinivas Avasarala was completely wasted in the film. He could have been given some more screen space and dialogues please. He is a good actor.
- Rajiv Kanakala was also not given his due.
- Music and songs, totally unnecessary. They were there just to add masala.
It is a Sukumar's film so I will not reveal any part of the story. I will want people to go and watch it.
But my rating for the movie would be: 3/5.
