ANALYSIS –
Director AP Arjun after ‘Ambari’ has given a passable film with lot of liveliness in his screenplay. There is no good story for the film. Only one incident shoulders the 13 reels film. The narration pattern is quite engaging from Arjun. He has improved considerably in this film compared to ‘Ambari’. He had shown the lovers going to Agra in a cycle in ‘Ambari’. Such flaws he has not made here in ‘Addhuri’. The character of Tarun Chandra that comes in the post interval does not take the exit.
Arjun is a winner in making every scene look grand. Like the title ‘Addhuri’ he has made most of the scenes look very pleasant to the eyes. The quarrel the director brings in between Dhruva Sarja and Radhika Pandit is also sweet. At one point of time when Tarun Chandra arrives on the scene the love expressed by Duruv Sarja to Radhika Pandit indirectly is quite impressive.
He has covered up the laxities in newcomer so well and made it sit through. The anger, love, naughtiness, dejection, responsibility, power required for the film has come out well from the actors.
It is just a narration based cinema with only hairline of incident that detaches the lovers. In the attached detachment the lovers move around on conditions. The height of love the risk that Arjun takes for his love is commendable.
‘Addhuri’ means grandeur. Director Arjun from the money of producer CMR Shanker Reddy and Keerthi Swamy has made it look glorious in the locations, costumes and lighting used for the film is on par with any other language film.
The speedy dialogues he has kept for the protagonist reminds ‘Golden star Ganesh’ of Mungaru Male. It is the peppy dialogues that are spoken on the street sides earn applaud for protagonist of the film. Dialogues are also another trump card of this film.
Another high point of this film ‘Addhuri’ is that director AP Arjun has not brought in parents for both the protagonists on screen. He has not defined the background of protagonist. Yet there is no place for much of emotions. The comedy also runs through the screenplay to some extent.
PERFORMANCES –
Full marks to Radhika Pandit actress in her 8th film. She looks very gorgeous in modern outfits. Radhika Pandit acting prowess would earn a few awards for her in the forthcoming days. Even when she is in sorrow mood she looks so sweet.
The new find Dhruva Sarja has come here to stay. The only minus point for him is his nose. He has nose for acting is the plus point. He looks macho. He is too good in action and dance. The dialogue delivery that has come to his first film ‘Addhuri’ is a god sent gift for him. Dhruva Sarja picks the right roles he would easily take over his elder brother Chiranjeevi Sarja. Dhruv Sarja close relative of Tamil action star Arjun lives up the expectations of his maternal uncle from this film.
Tarun Chandra in touch and go role looks handsome. His role has not been ended. Tabla Nani and Raju Thalikote are OK.
TECHNICALITIES –
Soorya Kiran in his first work behind the camera in Kannada is superb. She has taken the right locations. Even in the pedestrian area he makes it look grand and that is because the title ‘Addhuri’. In the outdoor shoots he has used his liberty in quick action moments of dance and action he earns good name.
V Harikrishna is giving bumper crop to producers since two years continues his strength in songs in ‘Addhuri’. Aa andre Ammate….is a raunchy number. The sorrow filled song before climax is melodious. Yarilla Yarilla Ninanthe Yarilla….Thun Antha Ugidaru….are for the masses! Yarilla Yarilla…song reminds the song of ‘Maria My Darling’ Kannada cinema.
On the editing front there is no flaw. The only flaw of this film is that there is no good story. It is a time pass cinema easily.
Last but not the Least – Even if you quarrel love is eternal.
