The small-budget film “Ala Ninnu Cheri,” featuring Dinesh Tej in the lead, has hit theaters. Read on to discover our take on the movie.
Story:
Wealthy village belle Divya (Payal Radhakrishna) falls for Ganesh (Dinesh Tej), but their love faces hurdles when her mother tries to arrange her marriage. Ganesh, torn between love and ambition, hesitates. The story unfolds with questions about Divya’s fate, Ganesh’s ambition, and the role of Anu (Hebah Patel) in his journey.
Pros:
Dinesh Tej delivers a commendable performance, showcasing his dancing and fighting skills.
Payal Radhakrishna adds charm to the film with her lively expressions, making the love scenes enchanting.
Decent comedy by Mahaboob Basha, and satisfactory performances from the supporting cast.
Cons:
The story feels overly familiar, lacking a fresh perspective and engaging screenplay.
Hebah Patel’s glamour scenes may not be family-friendly, and they don’t significantly contribute to the plot.
Mediocre dialogues, some targeting adult segments, may not resonate well with family audiences.
Songs, while pleasant in tune, lack meaningful lyrics in a couple of tracks.
Certain characters lack depth, and unnecessary scenes contribute to the film’s excessive length.
Technical Aspects:
Director Maresh Shivan falls short in executing the film effectively, missing opportunities to elevate predictable scenes.
Editing could have been tighter to reduce boredom, and cinematography and music receive average ratings.
Despite being debutants, the producers exhibit decent production values.
Verdict:
In summary, “Ala Ninnu Cheri” disappoints as a love drama with a conventional plot. While Dinesh Tej’s presence is a highlight, the film is hindered by unnecessary content and scenes. Considering the drawbacks, exploring alternative entertainment options might be a better choice this weekend.
