The verdict is clear. Audiences are enjoying the characterization of Balakrishna in ‘Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’ while the major drawback is agreed to be the dull first half. In particular, first half an hour to forty minutes is treated as a non-stop torture where Manoj has gone over board showing his creative enthusiasm. For the moment, inner sources say collections are not that disappointing because except ‘Eega’ there is no big competitor in market.
A better first half could have taken ‘UKUP’ to further high range of success. However, Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna also did her part efficiently leaving the audience spell bound in climax episode. For a perfect picture on whether ‘UKUP’ will land into safe commercial zone or end in deficits for Manchu family will be known only when new movies will hit screens this Thursday and Friday.
