The Smarthavicharam, where a Namboothiri slips into the role of a smarthan (judge) surrounded by other Brahmins, is disturbingly played out like the ordeals rape survivors are subjected to in the court of law.

For them, this is a celebratory occasion-gloating about their multiple wives and mistresses, enquiring about the food, indulging in nourishing oil baths, and occasionally smirking at the “sadhanam” (inanimate object) locked in the outhouse. A stream of old, garrulous paan-chewing Namboothiri men have gathered for the impending trial. The accused Unnimaya (Mohini), the young widow of Palakunnathu Namboothiri, has been imprisoned in a dark, dingy room. The climax song is after Genelia (an Indian girl) realizes when the boy (Tarun) she loves also loves her “Ninne ninne allukoni Kusiminche Gandham nenavvani”.Ĭaution: Don’t get distracted by the native foul language, it is the reason for the depth in the story.“For a widow, laughter is more frightening than weeping/ Priestly class, do you know the pain and agony of it?/ It is the fire of this agony that is forever blazing inside namboodiri houses” - Lalithambika AntharjanamĪt the expansive and decadent Palakunnathu tharavadu, the arena is all set for a Smarthavicharam (inquiry into conduct). When Tarun falls in love with Genelia & how Tarun (Indian boy) dreams of his girl in the song “Ila entha sepu ninnu chusina”. The situational song “Edo Oppukonandi Naa pranam” with the same pallavi at three times each in a different context. Pay close attention to how Krishna Vamsi methodically treats each of his characters with respect and in turn the audience!Įxceptional: Sirivennela’s songs are superb with highly rich lyrical value! Romantic with precise logical debate with oneself brimming with indian culture! Only Sirivennela can conceive those in the context of “an indian parinayam”!

Since this is purely a director’s movie, don’t worry about who has how much screen length. To top it off, each character has his/her own defining moment.

And it is their parents who need to evolve! This starts out as one kind of marriage and concludes as something else.ĭirector’s movie: This is one of the rare movies where director gives truly well balanced characterization to both heroine (girl) and hero (boy), consistently throughout the movie. Everyone has a role, significance, and they all delivered!Īnalysis: We have seen all sorts of love stories, teenage, triangular etc., and their fights against non-cooperating parents etc. Performers: Tarun, Genelia, Parachuri Gopala Krishna, Ahuthi Prasad and every single character. Twists and Turns: Old school thinking of parents false prestige, “range” and insecurities clashing with modern Telugu boy’s and girl’s outlook for respect to the opposite sex.įirst half is all about the story (the what) and the second half is about the director’s screenplay (the how)! You will be spellbound throughout!ĭon’t miss: The dialogues on vijayawada, dialogues on Krishna/Godavari and many punch dialogues throughout.
PARINAYAM MOVIE REVIEW FULL
No need for slapstick comedy in this as it is full of situational comedy and punch dialogues.Ībsolutely no vulgarity and violence! A complete family entertainer! What a refreshing movie! There are many romantic songs in the movie but no duets excepting when you get up & start walking out and that too only picturization-wise! That is Krishna Vamsi! There are no defining moments in the movie, just enjoy every moment of it! Peddalu: Bride’s dad Ahuthi Prasad (a rich village zamindar with old school thinking), and Bridegrooms’s dad Paruchuri GopalaKrishna (an arrogant lawyer). Groom: Supposedly a Bezawada born rich NRI Abhimanyu from USA who respects his prospective bride as much as he respects himself. An impulsive village girl who knows very little outside of Amalapuram and Kakinada, and who follows her grandma’s advice yet a modern Telugu girl who believes she’s no lesser to a boy. Which camp do you belong to: arranged marriage or love marriage? By the way what’s the difference! You will figure out which camp wins at the end of this movie.īride: Sasirekha(Genelia): A girl from Amalapuram studying B.Sc Comp. It’s about an Indian wedding as it happens in the back ground of coastal Andhra.
