Story:
Srinu (Nikhil) is a happy go lucky guy. He falls in love with Meghana (Pooja Bose) and tries desperately to get a positive response from her. But Meghana’s father Durga (Suman) is in jail and his opponent Shankar (Sayaji Shinde) is after Meghana. Now how Srinu rescues her from Shankar and win her love forms rest of the story.
Analysis:
Veedu Theda is a routine fare in which the director tries to keep the audience entertained all the time. There is no freshness in the subject and the screenplay goes haywire. Only plus point is there are loads of comedians all over the film and they don’t let the film go down.
First half of the film is a bit lengthy and interval point is very predictable. Director deals the rest of the story in a comical way by introducing various comedians at various points in the film. MS Narayana does his ‘Dookudu’ mimic stunt yet again. This time he imitates Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu in addition to Balakrishna and Rajinikanth.
However, the film ends on an abrupt note and there is nothing to carry home. Songs are pretty bad and there is no freshness in the film whatsoever. Mass audience might enjoy the film for its extra dose of comedy. All the comedians in the film ably shouldered it. If the director has come out with fresh scenes and has written fresh comedic lines, it should have ended up as a real commercial entertainer. Now it will only appeal to lower sections of audience and classes who look for healthy comedy may disown it completely.
Performances:
Nikhil tries to imitate Raviteja yet again, but failed to be as entertaining as his mentor. He should learn to act as he hardly emotes except putting faces. His dances and fights are good though. Pooja Bose doesn’t know to act. Ali, Raghubabu, Master Bharath and Venu Madhav are mildly entertaining and MS Narayana leads the pack. Suman and Sayaji Shinde are alright in their roles. Rest of the star cast did their bit.
Technicalities:
Music by Chakri is mediocre and none of the songs are hummable. Background score is loud. Dialogues by Chinni Krishna are Okay. Cinematography and Editing are not up to the mark.
Director Chinni Krishna, who worked as an associate under VV Vinayak tried to imitate his guru in making a commercial film. Like Vinayak he too tried to mix action and comedy but failed with the action part. He should have tried to do a wholesome comedy instead of mixing unnecessary action on a ‘weak’ hero like Nikhil. Production values are alright.
Final Word:
Veedu Theda banks on mass comedy and its fate at the box office depends on how mass audience lap up this film. Its low costs should help the film to recover its budget. If you expect something fresh out of this, then you are in for disappointment. If you don’t mind enjoying the same old formulaic film with routine comedy, then this is the right one for you.
Veedu Theda Movie Rating: 2.5/5
