hell yeah “it could be your love story”!!!

                                                     hell yeah “it could be your love story”!!!

The first thing I noticed when I started getting into the immature, crisp and lovely conversations between Varun (Nani) and Nithya (Samantha) is the way the how it is pictured with lots of simplicity and reality in it. Rather than exaggerating with unnecessary hype and tollywood’s commercial and fanatic taking, the story goes smooth and little verbose. What we do in our life is nicely resembled on screen thus justifying its novel caption “it could be your love story”. The only difference is it had some tunes playing in the background which we don’t have usually in our own love stories. Except that everything else articulates to the real life that we live.

                           Coming to the story it had nothing much to tell as it is merely conversations between the lovely lead pair Varun (Nani) and Nithya (Samantha). The movie opens with a song which is vaguely choreographed it lets the expectations down for a while, this little duration will make us prepared on how the movie is going to be presented. It had the tinge of short films that have been very popular in the recent days. But the story doesn't confront abrupt or vulgar comedy to fill the space and win cheap applauds. It has the dignity all over in its characters and the conversations. It is the best part of Gautham Vasudev Menon as a script writer and director.

                            The conversations are tedious in parts; you feel the talking part is dragged over and over sometimes. Director has made the visuals natural without using BGM in certain parts. It plays when it needs to be there to convey the emotion. Unnecessary recording is strictly overdone in this film which makes the film more unique and to be what it is actually. It can be regarded as an honest attempt for this. Certain scenes are much elevated with the soothing BGM which takes you to the place just where the story happens and you feel the love and emotion all around you. Ilayaraja was splendid in re-recording. But people who hate drama genre will certainly hate parts of the movie and may get derailed from the screenplay. Then it is exactly when people start to hate it despite of its novel and pleasant attempt.

                            Songs were already a great hit and they were nicely shot on screen. Coming to the characters Nani plays a pivotal part and does a magnificent job in executing his role to the maximum. Samantha was pretty; especially as a school girl her looks were adorable. Krishnudu who portrays as the only friend of Nani was decent and engaging. His female partner was eye catchy with a typical dialogue delivery. Cinematography was cleverly handled. Most of the shots were moving rather than being steady ones which added a great force to the reality quotient of the film. Editing was clean and flawless.

Ilayaraja will be the man of the show after all. “Kammani ni prema lekhale” was neatly remixed and beautifully sung by the vocalist. It keeps the audience in high spirits. Other songs like yedhi yedhi, layi layi were beautifully placed in the movie. BGM of the movie was stupendous. It can’t be regarded in this piece of note; it has to be relished personally in the theaters  In a single statement gautham and Ilayaraja can be given an equal status in building up this film.

                            Rather than ending up the conversation in a facile way, the director discusses every point between varun and nithya in a detailed manner, so dialogues seems never ending and quite natural but never appeals to be over dramatizing the situation. It resembles like we are overhearing a discussion between two people around us in our lives. It’s that simple and pleasant to watch. Most of us can empathize with varun and nithya as “it could be your love story”. On an ending note if you are a drama lover then it will be a classy one else it seems to be cheesy and tedious.

Three cheers for this adorable and soothing movie with wonderful music.
