Veteran Director S.V. Krishna Reddy who was known for delivering clean family entertainers is back to Direction after a hiatus of 9 years. He made Organic Mama Hybrid Alludu starring Bigg Boss fame Ryan Sohel, Mirnalini Ravi in lead roles. Co-starring Rajendra Prasad, Meena and Sunil. The film is produced by Koneru Kalpana. It is released on March 3rd in theatres. Let's dive into the review.
Vijay (Sohel) is a flop film director who turned into seller of Kondapalli craft toys sculpted by his parents. He and Haasini (Mrinalini Ravi) falls for each other. Meanwhile he gets a film offer from a producer Munikonda (Sunil). But, Haasini's father Venkataramana (Rajendra Prasad) is filthy rich and didn't accept his daughter's love for Vijay citing his poor financial status. Venkataratnam also gives importance to loving life with traditional values. What happened to Vijay - Haasini's lovestory ? Did Vijay succeeded with his new film ? Answers to these questions form the story of the film.
Sohel has decent screen presence and he tries all like a typical commercial hero. But, succeeded only to some extent in doing everything like dances, stunts, comedy. He did okay overall on his part. Mirnalini Ravi looks good with expressive face and did her part as a regular heroine in old style love story films. Rajendra Prasad's role reminds of Prakash Raj's character in Race Gurram. Though his role is written with familiar tropes, he manages and carried it with his experience. Sunil in an innocent role provides some laughs. Varun Sandesh is okay in a cameo kind of role. Other comedians failed miserably with poorly written comedy and made it even more difficult to watch with their overboard acting.
S.V. Krishna Reddy came up with a story which suits him adding elements of his strength to it. But, it seems like he forgets that the year is 2023 but not 2003. The story and narrative style feels like watching an outdated film. Despite of many underwhelming aspects SVK has managed the first half with okayish comedy and neatly picturised songs. But, the entire second half goes haywire with outlandish comedy. The over stretched comedy track made things even worse.
Music provided by S.V. Krishna Reddy himself sounds like the same tunes of his hit films in 90's which gives a retro feeling. 'Allasaani Vaari Allika' song came out well. Cinematography by Ram Prasad looked vibrant. Editing is horrendous as some scenes goes on and on and on. Even the climax is over dragged beyond a point. Production values look good and rich.
Though the film Organic Mama Hybrid Alludu has enough casting to make things work, the happenings and flow in the film is not organic. It seems forceful and out of the place with outdated story ideas and direction. The film lacks any freshness and doens't have any novel points. The formulaic song - scene - fight - comedy - song is done and dusted years ago. It purely lacks novel screenplay ideas. With nothing offers new and no aspect of the film works in favour, it ends testing audiences patience. Considering all these factors CineJosh goes with 1 Rating for Organic Mama Hybrid Alludu.
