love? What happens between the three, forms the crux of Dikkulu Choodaku
Ramayya...
Performances:
Ajay played the titular
role. Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya is his story and revolves around him
from the begining. He was offered a full length role after Ishq and Ajay
has pulled it with utmost ease.
Naga Shaurya is
comparatively given a limited scope for performance. Though his acting
in the first half is similar to Oohalu Gusa Gusalade, he emoted well in
the emotional scenes.
Sana Maqbool was given
ample space for performance and the actress proved her mettle. With her
expressions and body language she proved she is the apt choice for her
role in the movie.
Indraja has done a meaty role, as a house wife who never suspects her husband. A good comeback for the actress.
Brahmaji has done a decent job. He succeeded in bringing out few chuckles on viewers faces with his timing and dialogues.
Technical Analysis:
Thrikoti has made a decent movie with
good support from his star cast. He has to be credited for handling
sensitive story line with a simple narration. Yet, the debutante
director has to be concentrated on the pace, especially in the begining
of the second half.
MM Keeravani's music is major plus for
the film. All the songs are entertaining and BGM is an asset for Dikkulu
Choodaku Ramayya.
Cinematography by Rajasekhar is one more
highlight for the movie. Especially 'Andari raatalu' song looks
beautiful with montage shots.
Editing could have been done better. Sai
Korrapati's Varahi Chalana Chitram lavishly presented the movie.
Production values are high, every frame looks grand.
Analysis:
Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya is more or less
a normal movie with no twists and turns. The otherwise could have made
the film a true commercial entertainer. Though Thrikoti handled the
sensitive script nicely, DCR is just descent and not interesting.
Director has got complete trustworthy
crew and supportive star cast. Flawless and fast paced narration could
have taken the film a step higher.
First half of the movie is light-hearted
with comedy portions between Ajay and Brahmaji. Comparatively, second
half is slow and melodramatic towards the end. Climax seems abrupt with
sudden realization by Ajay.
Final Verdict: Loosely packed New age Love Story. Worth watching once...
