After scoring a superb hit with 'Ala Modalaindi', director Nandini Reddy is coming up with her second venture 'Jabardasth' with a big hype. Let us see how this is.
The CONTENT
Byrrarju (Siddharth) is a street-smart who just takes money from others in the name of doing some business and finally escapes the place after his failure with that money. Shreya (Samantha) is a graduate who wants to pursue career as a wedding planner in the city after working for a while with a top wedding planner. But When Shreya is explaining her cousin about the idea of impressing top wedding planner Pinky, Byrraju listens to that secretly and reaches Pinky's place before Shreya and fetches a job. However, when Shreya acts that she is in dead need of that job, he agrees to share his job with her. In the mean time, Pinky treats her assistants bad, and Byrraju goes against her and quits job. Along with him, Shreya and others too leave it.
Finally the gang starts wedding-planner company on their own and succeeds a lot. During one such event, Shreya accidentally falls into Hussain Sagar and Byrraju rescues her, risking his life. Impressed with these acts, Shreya goes to propose Byrraju about her love, but gets heart broke with Byrraju saying to his friend that he is using Shreya as a golden goose to make money. Unable to bear the pain, Shreya throws out Byrraju from the company and he challenges that soon he will beat her with a company bigger than her. The rest of the 'Jabardasth' is how Byrraju gets trouble with his own company and Shreya loses market due to her frustration on Byrraju, and finally how they unite.
The EFFORT :
On-Screen:
Siddharth, the new age romantic hero, goes for that mass-kick again. We have seen him in Aata and Baava, and the same Siddu is back in 'Jabardasth' too. He tried to act smart, but at many places you see him jerking with dialogues and action. He is just casual.
Samantha is the true hero of this flick, with her antics and performance at a full best. Till date she never got such lengthy opportunities to showcase her skills, but here, she used that opportunity to the core. She laughs, jokes, cries, frustrates, emotes and dances superbly to entertain you.
Nitya Menon did a short role as a con-lady, but her smiles and charms impresses you once again. Srihari, as a don Javed Ibrahim in Malaysia has nothing to offer new, except his trademark shouts in typical Hyderbadi lingo.
Rest of the comedy team comes whenever there is a time for joke, and that includes Telangana Shakuntala, Taagubothu Ramesh, Dharmavarapu, Venu, Vennela Kishore.
Off-Screen:
Even with her first movie, Nandini Reddy proved that she can direct scenes well. And this time too she did the same job. If you are looking for something new in her second movie, then there is nothing. While superb cast is a gift for this one-film old director, her choice of poor story and screenplay is quite evident in the narration.
Thaman has given awesome score for songs, but he failed to maintain same intensity while giving background score. This kind of flicks need a strong support from music, but it looks like Thaman lost it this time. Cinematography and Art are okay, but they did some good job in songs.
The PLUSES:
· Samantha's Performance
· Three nice songs
The MINUSES:
· Silly and already heard comedy
· Quite slow first half
· No interesting plot and logic less twists
BREAKDOWN:
It looks like Nandini Reddy is still unable to come out of the story she created along with her team for 'Ala Modalaindi'. In Ala Modalaindi you have a guy travelling all the time with hero till climax and here too you have a batch looking for him, catching him in climax, doing some comedy. You have a sudden episode of Sneha Ullal in AM and in Jabardasth you have Nitya Menon in the same way. In her previous movie, the comedy is somewhat natural, but here it looked sillier.
The very idea of lifting a story idea from Hindi flick 'Band Baajaa Baaraat' may not prove a good decision at Box Office. Nandini got many scenes weaved for the sake of characterization, but they look like disjointed pieces. How come a don in Malaysia invites two small companies from Hyderabad to manage his sister's wedding? At least Nandini should not give time for us to think about these cinematic logics, but as the movie's progress is dull you will get many more doubts than this while watching.
Dialogues by Veligonda Srinivas are quite simpler for these days' audiences. They are neither completely witty, nor mesmeric for romance lovers. When you are attempting a movie like this, comic scenes should make you laugh and fall from seats with their intensity. But 'Jabardasth' gives hardly two or three such moments. Rest passes just like that.
For the sake of Siddarth's lady fan base, Samantha's charm, film may go well at some places. Otherwise we have to really see how Bellamkonda Suresh got table profits for this flick. Earlier the producer stated that he sold the flick much before release, exhibiting his confidence.
The FINISHING Line: If you have free time, watch it. If you are busy, wait for it on TV
