Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki Review

Behind the Movie Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki: Naga Shaurya and Avika Gor are the new found talents of Tollywood enjoying the early recognition. Nandyala Ravi directed this film. Let us see, how good is this combination?

In the Movie Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki: Story begins with Sai (Naga Shaurya) falling in love with Ananda Lakshmi (Avika Gor), software engineer in the first look. Lakshmi’s father Anand Rao (Rao Ramesh) has a well designed family with two settled sons, grand children. There is a strict code of conduct followed in the house and Lakshmi’s marriage is fixed with a software engineer. After too much of wooing with an emotional touch, Lakshmi starts to sense Sai’s feelings but for the sake of family, she keeps him away. Playing a fraud game, Sai enters into Lakshmi’s house to impress Anand Rao only get thrown away. As the date for Lakshmi’s marriage nears by, how did Sai convince Anand Rao? When Lakshmi responds to Sai’s flawless love trails? 

Values & Out of the Movie Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki: From analysis of story, a strict father’s only daughter falling in love with tapori guy dates back to 1980s. Nandyala Ravi story selection has zero novelty. He manipulated the show with some good writing else this is a total discard. Screenplay followed the traditional format swaying in between the main leads. Direction of Ravi is pretty ordinary. Ravi also penned witty lines making the journey entertaining. Bal Reddy’s camera work was neat while Siva’s editing lacked in consistency. KM Radha Krishnan’s music is melodious on songs and BGM again is a drawback. Production values of Giridhar Mamidipally are just average.

On performance front, Naga Shaurya got first time opportunity to display mass mannerisms and he did it with ease. His body language was attentive throughout. Like every film, Shaurya impressed big time with comic timing and he also got stunts to do. Avika Gor developed asymmetrical and second rate body features hard to see on screen. She got a meaty role and has done only half of the justice. Rao Ramesh is an artist on whom any director can rely upon. He puts forward a respectable show. Vennela Kishore and Vidya stretched good laughs. Sathyam Rajesh was irritating in gay romance. Sapthagiri was as usual playful in first half. Among the rest, Naresh and Pragathi also did well.

‘Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki’ is definitely a run of the mill product dating back to treatment of 1980 and 90s. Nandayala Ravi scored big only as a rhyming writer. As a director he did not have enough of matter to keep the narration graph up in spite of a promising take off. Snail paced execution in second half killed the excitement. The huge message spreading climax goes off as a bouncer. One does not know what is the main intention of Ravi in posting of interval block on Sathyam Rajesh who is no way linked to main story line? An unnecessary fight sequence in pre climax to boost Shaurya as a true hero is also a foul play. 

Overall, ‘Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki’ is yet again one more addition to the list of poor quality films releasing in last few weeks.
