Nivetha Thomas, Priyadarshi's 35 Chinna Katha Kaadu has been attracting the attention of all as hot hunk Rana decided to bankroll the project. The film directed by Nandakishore Emani is releasing on 6 Sep 2024 and let us see what impact the film created on movie lovers.
35 Chinna Katha Kaadu is all about an eleven-year-old child who questions the fundamentals of mathematics gets his answers from life lessons taught by his school dropout mother. Bus Conductor Prasad (Viswadev) and Saraswati (Nivetha Thomas) who live in Tirupati are blessed with two kids Arun (Arun) and Varun (Abhay). Arun who is inquisitive leaves his math teacher Chanakya (Priyadarshi) perplexed with his questions, and he unable to answer his questions, brands him Zero and this ultimately leads to his demotion. How it impacts him and the role played by Sarada (Gautami), Principal Buchireddy(Bhagyaraj), Kiranmayi (Ananya), Murty (Krishna Tej) form the interesting part.
Nivetha Thomas slipped into the role of the housewife effortlessly. She showed good emotions and expressions and good bodylanguage as a mother is a dropout from school but who wishes to see her son excel in studies. Viswadev Rachakonda did well in the role of husband and he supported Nivetha Thomas perfectly. Children Arun Dev and Abhay played their part in a good manner.
Priyadarshi made his presence felt in the role of the math teacher and he as usual attracts and entertains with his antics and expressions. Bhagyaraj and Gautami performed well in their roles bringing their experience. Others did justice to their roles.
35-Chinna Katha Kaadu directed by Nandakishore Emani is a realistic take on children's interaction with their parents and teachers and how their behavior impacts them. Nandakishore came up with an interesting concept and starts the narration in a good way introducing the family in a realistic way.
He highlighted how parents or teachers avoid questions posed by children when they cannot find answers themselves and how this inturn affects them. He gave good message to the parents and teachers on how to answer the questions of children and make them understand the concept.
But the story are sometime assumes routine shades and predictable lines and the slow pace hampered the film's process. Screenlay and direction is ok to some extent and with lack of entertaining and commercial elements, viewers may find it testing to sit through the entire duration.
Vivek Sagar's tunes are situational and all the songs look similar. Background music is in sync with the storyline. The cinematography of Niketh Bommireddy is appealing and realistic. He gave a natural and realistic feel to the story and narration. Prasanna's editing is ok but could have been far better. There are many scenes that dragged the narration and inturn affected the film's output. Dialogues are good and production values are fine.
Altogether, 35-Chinna Katha Kaadu is a good message oriented film. Director Nandakishore Emani came up with a good line and aided with good performances from Nivetha Thomas and Priyadarshi, drove home the point in a powerful and impactful manner. A little fine-tuning of the script and few entertaining elements would have added value to the narration. Going by the above aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 3 rating for 35- Chinna Katha Kaadu.
