Review : 3
Release date: 30 Mar 2012
123telugu.com Rating : 2/5
Director : Aishwarya Dhanush
Producer : K. Vimala Geetha
Music Director : Anirudh
Starring: Dhanush, Shruthi Hasan
Dhanush and Shruti Haasan have come together for the movie ’3′ and this movie has been directed by Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya Dhanush. The movie has been produced by Natti Kumar. Let us see how the movie stacks up
Story :
Ram (Dhanush) is the darling son of Bhanupriya and Prabhu. He falls in love at a very young age with Janani ( Shruti ) and this is opposed vehemently by their parents. But in unexpected circumstances, they marry each other. After marriage, as they start building a life together, fate deals a cruel blow and the story takes unexpected twists. Ram is afflicted with Bipolar Disorder and he suffers from extreme mood swings. As Ram and Janani battle this disease, will they be able to set their lives in order? Will Ram be cured of his disease?
Plus Points :
The movie has had good exposure due to the runaway success of the ‘Kolaveri’ song and this has guaranteed a lot of interest in the film. Dhanush has portrayed two very different roles in this movie and his performance is good. Shruti Haasan looks good and she has done a good job.
The first half of the movie is slightly better when compared to the second half. ‘Kannulada’ and ‘Pove Po’ have been shot well and they are good to listen to.
Minus Points :
The story and the treatment will not appeal to Telugu film lovers at all. The first scene of the film itself sends a rude shock to the viewer and its a rapid downhill ride from there. Though Dhanush has performed well, it is tough for our people to accept him as a hero. Shruti Haasan keeps weeping throughout the film and this is downright depressing to watch.
There are many loopholes in the screenplay and narration is poor. There is absolutely zero entertainment in the movie for casual movie lovers and viewers end up getting frustrated. There is no synchronization between the first half and the second half.
Technical Aspects :
Editing is atrocious and that is a major culprit. Dialogues are quite poor. Cinematography is decent. Production values are good. Aishwarya Dhanush fails to make an impression with her direction skills and there is no conviction in her narration.
Verdict :
If you are a casual movie lover looking for some entertainment, stay away from ’3′. The movie has absolutely nothing for you. If you are a hardcore fan of Tamil tragedy cinemas, you can try and risk a watch.

Review
Story
Mangalampalli Maharadhi (Rajendra Prasad) is a rich man. His daughter Lovely (Shanvi) and a guy Akash (Aadi) happen to meet through their respective friends those are facebook addicts (Vennela Kishore and Chinmayi Ghatrazu). Sparkles of love start between the two.
And the love line develops between their friends (Kishore and Chinmayi) as well those get married eventually fooling her father who is a politician (Paruchuri Gopala Krishna).
On the other hand Maharadhi loves his daughter a lot and always thinks to make her double happy. He comes to know about her love with Akash who he thinks is not a right match for her. So what conspiracy he plays to separate his daughter from him?
And finally what happens to the love between Akash and Lovely forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
Aadi improved considerably from his first film. His physique is also in right sync with mass audience taste now. He is doing well with dances. All that he has to develop is to add grace to his moves. Voice is good and in the period down the line he has to plan to set up his trade mark style of dialogue delivery and body language.
Shanvi is good in various frames. She has the beauty that suits to the interest of Telugu audience. She proved able in portraying varied expressions wherever necessary.
Vennela Kishore brought many laughs in first half especially with his trade mark comedy.
Chinmayi Ghatrazu of LBW fame also made her presence felt in good way with her Telangana dialogues.
Paruchuri Gopalakrishna is ok appears as a politician who gets fooled by her daughter at the end.
Rajendra Prasad’s performance is lacking punch. Ahuthi Prasad is ok but his get up with a wig is weird.
Highlights:
* Music
* Songs
* Dialogues
Drawbacks:
* Climax
Final Analysis:
There is a heart touching concept in the film 'Lovely' if properly handled. It is mainly the story of a father who learns everything about a guy whom his daughter desires before allowing them to be together for rest of their lives. But the concept failed to bring that feel good mood due to artificial atmosphere.
All the characters appear to be dramatic and with no natural emotions. Characters fail to involve in the essence of characterization and mood. They appear to be moving like robots with no depth in feelings. The content appears rich in many occasions but due to long gap between them the graph suffers ups and downs.
The general impression of any audience who comes to theatre looking at the poster of the film ‘Lovely’ is to watch a romantic humorous entertainer. Matching to the expectations, the film has both romance and humor in right degree. But connecting that in best way possible to the crowds can be possible only by an able cinematographer who is the eye of cinema. Here the faculty of camera failed to elevate the film. The richness in love stories many times attributed to camera work (Geetanjali, Ye Maya Chesave and Ishq). Care would have been taken in that aspect. Adding to this editing has suffered a jerk at climax for planting and revealing the scenes within a span of 10 minutes with a big fight in between.
Music plays vital role in captivating the audience. It is a general phenomenon that the audience walks out from theatres for last songs. But here all the songs including the last ones made audience glue to their seats. Music director Anup Rubens deserves right commendation for it.
Anup Rubens has gone to the stage where the posters can be made with a stamp 'An Anup Rubens musical'. He is now the big music director for many small films. His songs should be used for promotion in big way. Dialogues have good punch here and there.
