Introduction:
'Viyyala Vari Kayyalu' stars Udaykiran, Neha Jhulka and Srihari. Udaykiran, after starting off his career with a bang, disappeared off the horizon in between. He reappeared of course, but the movies were few and all duds, including his last 'Abaddam'. After 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' and 'Dhee', Srihari is cast in another prominent role, again as the female lead's brother. The plot is a revamp of so many other movies and there's nothing new in this one.
Performances:
Srihari looks well-groomed, confident and has amazing screen presence. He is one actor who has shown tremendous improvement as a performer. From entering movies as a trained gymnast to showing his caliber as an artiste, he has come a long way. Udaykiran too loses his erstwhile stammer and the raw dialogue rendering of say, 'Nuvvu Nenu'. He gives a decent performance, but is overshadowed in the second half completely by Srihari, whose show it is thereon. He has become a little stiff though, and that shows when he dancing, and not in his performance.
Neha Jhulka sits pretty in the frame, but does nothing else. Kousalya makes a good pair with Srihari, dainty next to the dynamite. Shakuntala, Krishna Bhagwan, Jeeva, Narsing Yadav, Raghu Babu and Jayaprakash Reddy are cast in their stereotyped roles. Sayaji Shinde and Kavitha as Udaykiran's parents are okay and Venumadhav as his friend adds to the humor element in the movie.
Song and Dance:
The music is mediocre. The picturization and choreography do nothing to uplift it. But the song 'Suryude Sare Annade' stands out in the movie. The background in the first half is bad, while in the second half it picks up.
Last Word:
'Viyyala Vari Kayyalu' lacks freshness and quality. It is like a nice fruit that has been kept for too long, and has therefore been spoiled. The director, music composer and the prominent cast have all worked in better movies before, and this comes as a disappointment. |  |
