Kerintha - 2015 Telugu: One song was all it took to pique my otherwise dormant interest in this film. The trailer playing since the past few days on the Telly aroused expectations of yet another "light hearted" (please see my post of Oct 4th) evening. 15 minutes into the movie brought me to a great realization. Not all "feel fresh, nice color tone" kind of movies are good, not all happy happy college friends stories are good, one good song does not make the movie good and so on. Far from being light hearted, I cursed the story writer..not an iota of thought towards realism. Ofcourse, movies are not supposed to be real but good movies are those that are adept at being close to the make-belief. Some snippets of how idiotic the writer and the movie maker can get:
Flash back - A tiny forgettable fellow, can't really see the road once in the car seat dons an oversized coat, sports expensive gogs, projected as an achiever in the Corporate world, starts narrating in an extremely irritable tone his college reminiscences. 2 years ago, the screen reads...Start of the academic year, 3 guys and 3 girls with completely uncommon interests become thickest of friends. How?? I am still wondering.
Just a few Un-realisms:
1) Where the hell is a University where students graduate in just an year??
2) An overprotective well educated mother believes that her son is studying MCA whereas the guy is actually attending MA Music. The overprotective mom, herself an academician maintains a overly strict regimen on her son so much so that she taunts him on why he returned 15 mins late from college. Will such moms not go to the college to enquire how her son is doing or check mark sheets??
3)Wow, the college does not have classes nor lecturers in any of the frames. There are just a bunch of college going lads and girls shouting.."Hey", "hi" and that's all??
4)One of the sophisticated girl falls in love rather inexplicably with a village bumpkin whose aim is life is to patao girls in a cosmopolitan city. This guy can't even speak properly, terribly irritating getting on nerves character, has not one good thing to write home about and yet, this sophisticated girl is lovey dovey on him.
I sometimes wonder, how stupid do people get to put their money on making such movies, where does the little iota of common sense get hidden during these times. What is it that they are teaching the younger generation through this medium. #%#&#^@$%$^&&**#$% (My famous expletives - not being translated here for obvious reasons)
I am giving a one star for this movie. The lone star is for the song remember. It goes Mila Mila Mila....
