Aha Naa Pellanta Movie Review

Behind the Movie Aha Naa Pellanta: Allari Naresh, the safest hero for comedy movies is joined by Sreehari, Brahmanandam and new director Veerabhadram. Let us see, how well this movie matched the standards of Jandhyala’s ‘Aha Naa Pellanta’?

In the Movie Aha Naa Pellanta: Subramanyam or Subbu (Allari Naresh) is a hard working, clever software engineer working in the office of ‘Busy’ Balraju (Brahmanandam). After attending a night party organized by his boss, Subbu finds himself on the bed with Sanjana (Ritu Barmecha) on the next day morning. Although nothing was happened on this night, both feel ashamed thinking that they got intimate. 

With in no time Sanjana’s brothers Durga Prasad (Sreehari) and two more (Subba Raju, Samrat), sons of Warangal local goon J. Janaki Ramayya or JJ (Nagineedu) arrive in Hyderabad and compel Subbu to marry Sanjana. Feared by the rowdy back ground of the family, Subbu tries to escape from them and finally knows that Sanjana lying on his bed was a well etched plan by her brothers to trap him.

Reason is that none in the society are coming forward to marry Sanjana because of their family’s rowdy background and by the help of marriage mediator (MS Narayana), they lay a trap. Soon Subbu goes back to his old love Madhu (Anitha). On the other side, JJ wants only Subbu to marry Sanjana and the responsibility to bring him back is shouldered upon Durga Prasad. 

How did these three brothers take the help of Love Guru (Vennela Kishore) and Balraju to bud the love between lead pair, how did JJ’s old rivals attack their family forms rest of story.

Values of the Movie Aha Naa Pellanta: Story of the movie is partially copied from Hindi hit movie ‘Welcome’ and partially from old pickled Telugu love story movies. Story wise nothing great. What makes this film interesting is the screenplay of Veerabhadram which was impressive by adding few hilarious scenes. Direction went awry many a times but Veerabhadram bounced back quickly after hiccups. Cinematography by Loknath was poor while editing by MR Varma was also weak with unappealing scenes and jerks. Music by Raghu Kunche was good in remix of ‘Chinukulaa Raali…’ while background was routine. Dialogues by Sreedhar Sipaana generated good number of laughs which was strength in the movie. Production values of A TV were lowest while re-recording and VFX were worst.

Performance wise more than Allari Naresh, credits go for Sreehari and Brahmanandam. The comedy track developed between these two is the real oxygen else total film is just below average. Given the right content and dialogues, Sreehari impressed with Telangana dialect while Brahmi well synced with Sreehari’s punch timing. Allari Naresh is not at his regular best. Neither did he get that entire responsibility nor were ample scenes to show his regular timing. Heroine Ritu Barmecha is the pale stuff with no great looks and no acting talent. Subbaraju was at his best while Samrat missed basics. Nagineedu was dignified and MS Narayana, Vennela Kishore, not to forget Thaagubothu Mahesh (Ala Modalaindi fame) tried their best to evoke laughter. Anita (Nuvvu Nenu fame) was as usual thirsty with bikini. 

Out of the Movie Aha Naa Pellanta: Intention of Veerbahadram was just to entertain the audience with non stop humor but he mistimed many times asserting to too many liberties. Scenes like heroine going for pregnancy test, hero driving the light aircraft are most absurd. Of the entire movie, majority of sentimental scenes are lifted directly from ‘Welcome.’ When title of the movie is from the view point of Allari Naresh, director narrating the entire story from Sreehari’s view point is the fundamental blunder from Veerabhadram. 

If the comedy episodes of Brahmanandam, Sreehari along with climax scenes of Thaagubothu Ramesh and Co. are removed, then Aha Naa Pellanta is a ruthless ‘Discussion’ arranged for viewers. There was no factor of excitement in audience and movie goes slow and steady with low quality in making. More than script, we can offer full marks to actors for literally lifting the movie from below average to average standards. Biggest flaw is that, no where hero and heroine developed a love chemistry. 

First half was filled with unnecessary comedy bits (few may enjoy), title justifying story elements and banging the interval with a twist. Second half, it was total show of Sreehari and bringing in the villain team, drunkard Ramesh to finish the climax. B & C center audience may like it and for A, no way. 

Cinejosh Verdict of the Movie Aha Naa Pellanta: Just an average treat.
