I happened to come across this movie and decided to give it a go due to its plotline, and I'm not totally disappointed.
A man, brought up by five women-his mother and aunts-falls in love with a girl whose mother doesn't believe in marriage. How his pampered life changes and the lengths he goes to for his love form the core of the story.
The story is not unique, but such plotlines are always light-hearted and fun to watch. Rightly so, this movie was enjoyable, if the male lead could deliver too. You know exactly where the story is headed and how it will end, but it's the execution that keeps you engaged. There are no twists-just a lot of family drama you're in for.
Sharwanand gets the most screen time, but unfortunately, he pulls the movie down with his overacting. He overdoes every scene, making me think he should either take acting classes or leave the field for good. Rashmika Mandanna, on the other hand, does fine and is able to emote well. The best performances come from legendary actors Urvashi, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Khushboo, who light up the screen every time they appear.
The story takes cinematic liberties many times, but you overlook them since it's not meant to be too serious. The irritation comes from being bombarded with a song every 10 minutes, though the songs are decent and the choreography is well done. Rashmika's styling in sarees makes her look like a strict school teacher, which feels disconnected from both the scene and her character.
Watch it when you're in the mood for a light-hearted family drama. If you can overlook the male lead's acting, it's an entertaining watch.
