The dejected youth Murali (Prajwal Devaraj) finds a strange personality Meera (Reema Vora). Murali was deceived in love by Shwetha (Harshika Poonacha). He is moving with a rat poison in his pocket. Meera on the bike of Murali as a pillion becomes a partner in life after a long tale narration.
Murali explain his woes in life and becomes very close to Meera. He proposes to Meera on one dark chilly night in her pent house. That is the explanation of another tale of woes from Meera now.
Meera is a prostitute by force in her life. She was in love with a youngster in college days and she is dropped in the wrong routes. For earning and living she takes to alcohol and good in heart. After knowing the past of Meera the disenchanted youth prefers to be the life partner.
Analysis:
The narration in the slow and steady style of director Mahesh Rao takes us to the seventies. He has used the flash back technique. A clean way of narration is the winning point of this director. There is no vulgarity and obscene elements in the film.
The narration pace is lengthy. This kind of film is best suited in small screen with 15 to 20 episodes. The first half is as usual boring with not much of developments. There is no liveliness required for this film.
The role is not adequate to the image of Prajwal Devaraj. The crying and pathetic look is not expected from him. The director Mahesh Rao has limited characters on the screen and he moves around mainly in three performers. He brings in the relations in his dialogues.
This is dragging on the one side and the only suspense is the Meera role explaining her past at the end of the film.
Performances:
Prajwal Devaraj has made a mistake once again by accepting a weak subject. The usual strength of Prajwal Devaraj has not come out here in ‘Murali Meets Meera’. He looks poised in most of the scenes.
Giving wide looks and expressing via eyes Reema Vora is partially convincing. Her trump card is her eyes. The dubbing for Reema Vora is very casual. Harshika Poonacha has given good expressions but her stay is very limited.
It is a cake walk for comedy actors Sharan and Sadhu Kokila.
Technicality:
‘Murali Meets Meera’ has lot of darkness and it is purposeful because the two characters – Prajwal Devaraj and Reema Vora characters are in dark patch of life. So cameraman Jain Anand has given the darkness in his camera work.
Music director Abhiman Roy has given prominence to melody. Nee Naanadhe Naa…Ninna Mukha Nodi Suprabhata…and sorrow song Onde Ondhu Hejje Jeeva Matanadalu…are good ones.
Last But Not Least: ‘Life is important than love’
