Paathshala Telugu Movie review is exclusively by telugunow.com. The much awaited Telugu flick Paathshala hit theatres on Friday.
“Paatashala” is one of the most awaited small budget films of the recent times. The makers of the movie made unique promotions for online and offline for the film, which generated a lot of hype on the film. Its promos had created lot of positive buzz in the media before its release.
The concept and the genre of this film is quite different. Films with a road trip backdrop, have rarely been tried in Telugu cinema. The film is touted as the first ever road film in Telugu, shot in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Continuing with the trend of low budget flicks, with mostly new comers in lead roles, Paathshala has hit the screenstoday. Has the new genre won the hearts of the Telugu audience….? Lets see the result of the new concept.
Story:
The story of the film is quite simple. It is based on the lives of 5 best friends, whose role is played by Nandu, Sashank, Sai Kiran, Sirisha and Anu Priya. The friends group consists of three boys and two girls, who are at the crossroads of their life, set out on an epic journey to each others hometown on the last day of graduation before bidding a final goodbye. So, they hire a swanky van, and start their fun filled journey to these villages.
Its a journey of friendship, fun, adventure and a self discovery. The journey which is supposed to give up an insight into outside world, surprisingly lets them introspect. The experience turns out to be a life-changing one. What happens during their visit, and how the harsh realities change their lives upside down becomes the rest of the story that has to be watched on the screen itself.
Positives:
* The concept and the genre of the film forms the major positive aspect.
* Coming to the performances, Nandu shines in the role of Raju. Nandu has got a scene stealing character in this ensemble cast film. He has provided the entertainment in the film from the beginning to the end, as his character brings in the comic relief to the film. He also tried his best during the emotional sequences as well.
* Sashank’s role in the second half is yet another plus for the film. He has delivered good performance, and brings in the necessary depth to the film.
* Sirisha, who did the role of Salma is quite endearing, and will surely connect with the lasses.
* Other actors Sai Kiran and Anu Priya have done their roles quite well.
* First half of the film is quite entertaining, and exposes the fun elements in the student life.
* Even the message showcased in the film gets a positive note. The gang look like they share a bond together at the end of the journey which will definitely connect with the present youth.
* The Music and background score add a lot of value to key scenes in the film.
* Few emotional and relationship scenes have been picturized very well.
Negatives:
* Mainly the movie seems to be lengthy. It has been unnecessarily stretched a bit.
* After an exciting first half, the tempo in the second half slightly goes down.
* The movie is predictable as in many youthful entertainers.
* The makers have concentrated much on the sentiment part, which becomes tedious sometimes.
* Lack of known faces and inexperience in acting is clearly visible in some scenes.
Technical Aspects:
* Technically, it is a brilliant film.
* Producer Mahi Raghav has made his directorial debut with ‘Patashala’. He has earlier produced films like ‘Vinayakudu’ and ‘Village Lo Vinayakudu’.
* The Director Mahi has chosen a good plot for the film which has all it takes to engage with the target audience – the present youth. The way he has executed this novel subject is impressive. The direction is decent and gets better as the film progresses.
* Music by Rahul Raj is adequate for the kind of film attempted and the music along with the background score add a lot of value to key scenes in the film that takes it to a decent level. One dance episode featuring a poor kid, has been executed quite emotionally.
* Editing should have been better as the movie seems to be lengthy.
* Camerawork is quite stunning, as each and every visual looks top notch.
* Locations such as Godavari scenes, beauty of Araku Valley showcased in the film are just stunning.
* Dialogues are written in a simple way, and will connect to the youth well.
* The Production Values of the movie are just amazing.
Telugumirchi Analysis:
The film “Paathshala” has proper structure to make a perfect coming of age tale. It is quite a different and sensible film in this day and age. The movie nicely showcases the aspirations and problems of the youth in a decent and entertaining manner. But the main problem lies in its execution, which goes in a slow pace. Better casting would have surely created a better impact. If one is in a mood to watch a different attempt, then one might give it a chance.
