Gallo Telinattunde Review

Behind the Movie Gallo Telinattunde: Following the tradition of Maruthi to offer a bit of adult content comedy in the name of youthful entertainer is still in vogue in Tollywood. This movie too belongs in same genre. Let us see how far director Venkat Suresh Gunnam was able to attract the target audience?

In the Movie Gallo Telinattunde: As usual fresh batch of Engineering Students join college and new friendships sprout. Jaanu (Kausalya) and Ram (Ajay Manthena) are childhood buddies with Jaanu’s one side love while Ram is bowled by Jaanu’s friend Shilpa (Kushi). It’s a tradition, Ram’s batch of friends (Jabardast Naveen and others) are sex starved following their own ways to flirt girls. There is also a message preaching P Ed sir (Sayaji Shinde) in same college. 

Story moves on with regular college comedy until Ram and Co decides to hire a prostitute for whole night. Ram gets caught in brothel case and news spreads. What’s the story of rest of his friends? When Ram realizes the real affection of Jaanu? How did P Ed sir play key role in showing a better way for future of his students?

Values & Out of the Movie Gallo Telinattunde: The infancy of director Suresh in handling a youthful entertainer was clearly visible all along. Although he picked up a line near to narration traits and backdrop of ‘Happy Days,’ problem is Suresh followed Maruthi’s school of approach for a Sekhar Kammula plot. Entire first half, boys flirt girls and girls use boys for their own pleasures. Scenes are arranged one by one like unconnected train bogies failing to pull the viewers into subject. Never to miss, Suresh penned some double entendres to enthuse lower classes have succeeded to major extent. Suresh’s treatment was although a bit vulgar yet not on par with Maruthi’s established standards. If entire first half is directionless and purposeless filled with fleshy fun, interval is also a wasted and bluffed trick failed to trigger any excitement. Then second half prolongs to an unconvincing happy ending with no one ready to receive the message and a twist in screenplay. 

Sai Sreeram’s cinematography is a good work for a small film. Editing by Marthand K Venkatesh is abruptly hurried. Sai Karthik’s tunes were peppy and well choreographed. Best among all is production values of SVK Cinema which did not step back on spending the money.

Performance wise Ajay Manthena, Jabardasth Naveen got enough of screen time to entertain and they provided few laughs in first half. Kausalya is for name sake. Kushi is just average. Sayaji Shinde, Melkote, Sivannarayana, Kasi Vishwanath, Krishna Bhagawan, Prudhviraj, Raghu Babu, Posani and others did a fairly good job.

Designing individual scenes with lot of home work and writing rhythm sounding dialogues cannot make a complete movie. There needs a common essence to unite the entire content. Suresh had the ammunition to give a blast of time for college going public. He missed it with improper direction and flabby script. Adding a high dose of perverted lines has become mandatory for films in this genre and family audience may have nothing to complain because best solution is they can just skip such films. All in all, ‘Gallo Telinattunde’ is a mediocre attempt aimed mainly at youth audience. If someone wants to enjoy the so called ‘Youth and Boothu’ entertainment as a package, hardly try it once if has time to kill.
