“Prema Vimanam” is a heartfelt rural drama featuring young talents Devansh Nama and Anirudh Nama, alongside Sangeeth Shobhan and Saanvee Megghana. The film, now available for streaming on ZEE5, explores the dreams and challenges of two kids from humble backgrounds, as well as the love story between Mani (Sangeeth Shobhan) and Abhita (Saanvee Megghana), plagued by caste issues.
Positive Aspects:
The story of the two children is emotionally resonant, filled with innocence and humor. Devansh Nama and Anirudh Nama deliver remarkable performances, especially in their scenes with Vennela Kishore.
The film successfully weaves together two distinct plots involving the kids and the couple. This connection is skillfully established early on, adding depth to the narrative.
Sangeeth Shobhan’s portrayal of a village character is commendable. He convincingly expresses emotions like fury, tension, and helplessness.
Anup Rubens’ music and background score enhance the overall experience, while the performances of the supporting cast, including Anasuya, Vennela Kishore, Supreeth Reddy, Raj Tirandasu, and Goparaju Ramana, are praiseworthy.
Negative Aspects:
The love story in the film is unremarkable and follows a generic pattern. It addresses caste issues in a routine manner, lacking novelty. Repetitive scenes and a slow narrative pace, particularly in the climax and post-interval portions, contribute to the film’s lengthy feel.
An overused plot twist in the end diminishes its impact. Some scenes may remind viewers of similar sequences from previous films.
Technical Aspects:
Anup Rubens’ music and Jagadeesh Cheekati’s cinematography stand out. The film uses visual storytelling effectively, conveying emotions without dialogue in certain scenes.
Production values are good, although the editing could have been more efficient. Director Santosh Kata excels in presenting the children’s story but falls short in delivering the love story with the same impact.
Verdict:
“Prema Vimanam” is a rural drama that shines in parts. While the children’s storyline captivates, the love story feels routine and repetitive. Devansh Nama, Anirudh Nama, Sangeeth Shobhan, and Saanvee Megghana deliver strong performances, with the final half-hour providing gripping moments. Despite some entertaining scenes and solid laughs, the film, as a whole, falls below expectations.
