Okka Ammayi Thappa Movie Review – Sundeep Kishan’s Effort Goes Waste

Risk is one big aspect that every filmmaker or producer avoid and hesitate to give it a chance. Some writers or directors pitch a story with lot of versatility in it which ultimately seems commercially not viable. No producer invest such a big amounts purely believing director or an actor on such subjects with a lot of risk factor. As said in many press meets and interviews, writer turned director Rajasimha Tadinada’s Oka Ammayi Thappa script was rejected by many producers many times. It is touted to be a love and thriller story based on a traffic jam on a crowded flyover. Ultimately, he got to convince some investors and happened to make a film with Sundeep Kishan, who received zero paycheck and yet did to quench the thirst of his passion and Nithya Menon, with a cut in het paycheck. It is releasing today in theatres with a huge promotions. Let’s see how it works on us!!

Story

A Still from Okka Ammayi Thappa
A Still from Okka Ammayi Thappa

Aslam (Rahul Dev) is a terrorist who is caught and jailed in Challapalli Jail. To free him from the Police and take him back to Pakistan Anwar (Ravi Kishan) sketches a plan for a bomb blast on High Tech flyover where Traffic is jammed due to lorry accidents on both the sides of the flyover. Krishna Vachan is a happy go lucky boy who loves a girl during his childhood with a flag. When he is on the way to an atm, he stucks on the flyover due to that traffic jam. Nithya (Nithya Menon) is forced to get into marital relationship for which bride seeing ceremony is held by her grandmother. She, in order to avoid that ceremony leaves her car and start in a share auto and got stuck in the traffic on flyover. How the terrorist group execute their plan and How Krishna and Mango becomes involved in this plan forms the rest of the story.

Cast and Performance

Sundeep Kishan as Krishna Vachan is perfect fit. He did a fantastic job as a lover who do anything for his lover. He did his part convincingly. Nithya Menon also did a nice job. But this movie do not give much scope to show her acting caliber. Throughout the movie she is shown sitting in a share auto. Ravi Kishan did a fine job, but the voice dubbed for him is very loud which spoils the mood. Ali is good and is the only comedian who is able to evoke some laughter in the first half. Venu Tillu, Fish Venkat, Saptagiri and others fails to generate comedy as the scenes written for them are weak. Other actors did fine job.

Writing Department

Story of the movie is nice and interesting. Dialogues are good. But it’s mediocre screenplay spoils the interest.

Technical Departments

Music by Mickey J Meyer is good. Kotha Kathale and Yegirene songs are my picks. They are also good visually. Background music is good and some times it made us feel its existence. Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is excellent. He has shown the locales of Kashmir in Yegirene song beautifully. Editing is just okay. Production values are good.

Highlights

  • Sundeep Kishan
  • Couple of Songs

Minus

  • Screenplay
  • Pale Comedy
  • Lack of depth in childhood love track

Verdict

A childhood love story between Krishna Vachan and Mango which is not so effective and also fails to generate necessary depth. It then shifts to lives of Krishna Vachan and Mango and situations that lead them to the flyover and got stuck there. A love story starts on flyover which is pale in terms of believability and some comic scenes involving Sapthagiri which makes audience goes cluesless on how to react. This first half makes audience bored to core and it only becomes interesting in the interval scene as it is the mucj needed bang after so much of disengaging scenes and comedy. Second half is also has nothing better than first half in terms of content and screenplay. Preclimax and Climax can be said as crux of the movie. Director and writer Rajasimha Tadinada has dones a negligible job with this movie. He added love and comedy to a thriller movie like “A Wednesday” which is very pale. Movie having this type of story needs a water tight and gripping screenplay to make audience glued to the screen. Director failed to handle screenplay which makes its a boring ride. To Sumup, watch this Oka Ammayi Thappa if you are a fan of Sundeep Kishan or has ample free time.

Run Telugu Movie Review-Mediocre Remake

A right script backed up by good performances from actors and nice dealing of all the departments by director could be a money spinner at the box office. Every industry is concentrating on neighbour industries for good script and made some super hits and some super disasters. There may be so many reasons for them to be failure at box office. Actor Sundeep Kishan, who is going loaded with his career is coming with a remake of Malayalam-Tamil bilingual Neram, directed by Alphonse Putharen as Run in Telugu, directed by Ani Kanneganti of Mr. Nokia fame produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, Kishore Garikapati, Ajay Sunkara under his AK Entertainments banner. Let’s see how it works on us!

Story

Sundeep Kishan Still from Run Movie
Sundeep Kishan Still from Run Movie

Sanjay/Sanju (Sundeep Kishan) is an IT professional who lost his job in recession and is in a constant search of job. He borrows money from Vaddi Raja (Bobby Simha) for his sister’s marriage for high interest rate. As he is a jobless guy he is unable to pay interest after 2-3 payments. With all these problems in his pocket, he also has a love interest Ammu (Anisha Ambrose) whom he loves from his childhood. Her father Srinivasulu (Kasi Viswanath) declines to marry her with Sanju. She comes out of her house to live with Sanju. Sanju who is always helped by his friend Praveen gets money from him and when he is about to repay money to Vaddi Raja, someone robs him. Vaddi Raja gives him deadline and Kidnaps Ammu. How Sanju solved all his problems is rest of the story.

Cast and Performance

A still from Run 2016 Telugu Movie
A still from Run 2016 Telugu Movie

Sundeep Kishan as Sanju is fantastic. He carried this whole film on his shoulders. He is so intense as a penny less bachelor. Anisha Ambrose as Ammu is good. She looks good on screen. National Award winner Bobby Simha is terrific as Vaddi Raja. He played the same role in the original Neram. Brahmaji as Padmavathi is humorous. He did a nice job. Kasi Viswanath as Srinivasulu, father of Ammu is good. His body language as a middle class father who is reluctant to marry his daughter with a jobless guy is perfect. Mahat Raghavendra as Manik aka Manikyam is good. His acts as a flirty guy who always try to flirt any girl he comes across is good. Shaani Pagadala, Sudharshan Reddy and Koushik Rachapudi are good in their limited roles. Praveen as Mani is superb. Madhunandan is good. Posani and other actors are good.

Writing Department

Plot of the story is superb and exciting. Screenplay is not as gripping as expected. Dialogues are good but not upto the mark. Makers didn’t change the original script a lot except for a minute changes.

Technical Departments

Songs of the movie certainly do not generate any curiosity among listeners. Music director Sai Kartheek is said to be failed in that aspect. Pista song from original Neram can also said to be a failure effort of remaking it in Telugu. It is nowhere close to original song. Background score is okay and is so loud. Cinematography by B Rajasekhar is good. Editing by M R Varma is okay. Shots composed and edit pattern is exact and same as Neram. Action by Vijay is good. Production values are nice.

Highlights

  • Sundeep Kishan as Sanju
  • Bobby Simha as Vaddi Raja
  • Cinematography

Minus

  • Music by Sai Karthik
  • Screenplay

Verdict

Introduction of Sundeep Kishan as Sanju is the inception of Run. Everything is same as original Neram, be it screenplay, shot composition, editing. Movie begins on a serious note and everything seems to be dramatised. For the reason unknown, there is a small gap between audience and the movie. Acts of Vaddi Raja are serious and humorous at the same time. Scene where Ammu is kidnapped by Vaddi Raja from a church is the end of first half. It doesn’t create the expected curiosity. Second half begins with the addition of other problems to the existing problems of Sanju. As compared to Neram, Run is a mediocre remake. If you have seen Neram, you don’t like this Run. If not, there may be chances of liking. To sum up, Run is a mediocre remake where audience expect more but given less.

Even though Lavanya is continuously doing Telugu movies, she is also a familiar face in Tamil after she played the female lead in Shashi Kumar’s earlier movie ‘Bramman’.

This untitled Tamil, Telugu bilingual movie was supposed to have Taapsee Pannu playing the female lead but she has backed out due to busy schedule.
