It is An insider’s perspective of the Telugu film industry

The Story : Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam Appalaraju is all about Appalaraju (Sunil), who is from Amalapuram and wishes to become a director and make a film. Later his dream comes true and he names his movie name as ‘Nayaki’ and it is heard that Sakshi is the heroine of Nayaki.

After a long gap of 12 years, RGV is going to wield the megaphone straight for a Telugu film. It is produced Koneru Kiran Kumar of Shreya Productions’. Koti will be composing the music while Sudhakar Reddy handles the camera..

Plot : A newcomer’s struggle through every layer of the tedious and primitive dynamics of making films in Telugu.Appal Raju decides to make the move to Hyderabad after another frustrating day at the cinemas in Amalapuram. And his prized possession (his first screenplay – Nayiki) is welcomed by everyone in the industry, but, with suggestions to compromise the script’s integrity at every rank. What Raju believes is a heartfelt screenplay is ruined with all the suggestions of the masala genre. 

Actors : Harshavardhan and Sunil are your stand outs. What these two have done is of truly international standard.And Swathi, an actor to look forward to in the future. Brahmanandam managed to get few smiles with his one-liners. Though few scenes of his were not made with conviction, he did an okay job.

Clap worthy moments

• The song criticising the directors of Telugu cinema was well choreographed. The pictures used, costumes and masks of actors are well timed.
• Dialogues making fun of Ramgopal Varma's Shiva and his other films made audience smile for Varma's jokes on himself.
• Bramhanandam's dialogues and the lyrics of songs he pens are overtly funny. For instance 'Ringu Road Kada Ranganayaki... Bongulanti Ninnu Choosi Prema Dilki' makes the audience laugh out loud.
• There are other Lol moments in Bramhy's dialogues. He says 'Kanti Tho Chooste Order...Kannu Tho Chooste Murder'.
• The lyrics of all the songs in this film are situational are whistle worthy for their catchy words.
• Swati sang the song 'Unbelievable this is Raju' and Bramhy sang his song ' Naa Peru Srisailam' which were shot on themselves and hence the emotion was perfect on their faces.

Verdict

You can watch the film for production values, camerawork, Sunil and Brahmanandams performance and the drama run by the director in a perfect way. It is a really must watch film. The audiences would get a feel of watching a good movie and they would admit such films should not have such routine commercial elements.
