Movie Seen: 16 August 2015
Place: Suresh Theatre, Sitaphalmandi
Note Written: 11 September 2015
It was the day Jithin came visiting and we both went for the evening show, after watching 'Julie and Julia'. 'Srimanthudu' was getting good reports and reviews from all over. The theatre was crowded- it was mostly family audience. The film, even though it has a lot of normal melodrama seen in Telugu commercial family flicks, was likable on the whole. At some scenes, I felt liked laughing seeing the billionaire kid Mahesh Babu sitting and worrying in his mansion about poor people in the village, but I let the feeling go, owing to the nature of the film and target audience. The character played by Mahesh Babu is built well, but I am not convinced by the sincerity of his actions. I could see why the movie was a big hit- it satisfies the everyday escapist dreams of the 'mass' Telugu audience.I shouldn't be judging them, I have no right to. Let us all sit, watch, and enjoy what we want. Peace.
