Editor: Gautham Raju

Director: Srinivas Reddy

Producer: Boddam Ashok Yadav

Release date: 6th Nov 2009

Charming star Srikanth came up with his 101st movie and this was on floors since a long time. Whether it was worth the wait or not, let us see.


Story:

Chandram (Srikanth) is an honest man and a devoted husband to Kalyani (Meera). His life takes a turn when he discovers that Kalyani has a rare disease and he has to get money. A sequence of events compels him to act as husband to Ramya (Sada) who is thought dead. However, Ramya comes back alive and now Chandram is caught between both women. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Srikanth
Srikanth has come up with his performance as usual and he has done these several times before so nothing new from his end. However, his presence on posters after ‘Mahatma’ would add as a crowd puller to the theatre.

Meera Jasmine
She looks cute as usual and will appeal to the lady audience. However, she must try not to come up with western outfits in song sequences and that too figure hugging ones. It just doesn’t go with her.


Sada
She is sexy and makes up for the glamour quotient in a large way. Despite wearing regular outfits, she still has that oomph in her. Performance wise, she did justice to her role.

Others
Tanikella was standard, Sunil gave good laughs, Brahmanandam was okay, Ali was hilarious, Kovai Sarala was loud, Raghu Babu was a bit annoying, Krishna Bhagawan was witty and funny as well, M S was good, the others did as required.

Highlights

* Srikanth and Sada
* Pre-Climax
* Ali and Sunil’s comedy


Disappointments

* Outdated storyline
* Songs
* Brahmanandam comedy track
* Screenplay

Analysis:

The film has got every possible comedian in the Tollywood circuit but then the director has not been able to create a laugh riot out of it. The main drawback was the stale storyline which would have fitted the 80s time.


Also, the title conveys a comedy film but there is a strong dose of sentiment and melodrama which downs the enthusiasm. There is not much depth to the characters due to the weak script and there are not many moments when the audience can connect to the film.

There are few sparks of comedy here and there but overall, the film is not that appealing due to the tasteless flavor of the storyline. Except for Sada’s glamour, Sunil and Ali’s comedy, there is not much one can enjoy in this flick.

A AA... E EE (Athanu, Aame, Inthalo Eeme) Photo Stills

Hero Srikanth, heroine Meera Jasmine and director Srinivasa Reddy are joining hands again for 'A Aa E Ee' (Athanu, Aame, Intalo Eeme) to be produced by Bodham Ashok Yadav on the banner of Sri Kalpana Arts.

It may be mentioned here that the combination was proved a hit with 'Yamagola' (Mallee Modalayindi).The producer made an announcement about the launch of their film at a function held at Raavi Narayana Reddy auditorium.

Director Srinivasa Reddy says, 'My films are becoming hits as I was able to provide good entertainment in a novel way. My forthcoming film 'A Aa E Ee' would have good combination of artistes and technicians. It would have the best story in my career. The film runs with a combination of comedy and sentiment. The film would go to sets from August 8. Srikanth, Sada and Meera are playing the Athadu and Aame. Who is the star for Intalo Eeme is a suspense.'

Writer Gollapati Nageswara Rao says, 'This is my debut story as a film writer. Basically I am from stage drama sector.'

Ali, Tirupati Prakash, writer Aditya, Kavita, Apoorva, fight master Ram, cinematographer Vijay C Kumar and others attended the function.

MM Srilekha is scoring music for the flick.

GORINTAKU REVIEW

Rating :2.25/5
Banner :Megaa Super Good Films
Cast :Dr Rajasekhar, Meera Jasmine, Arthi Agarwal, Chandra Mohan, Venu Madhav, Sivaji Raja, Hema, Surekha, Banerjee, Surya and others
Music: SA Raj Kumar
Producer: SV Prasad, Paras Jain
Director: Vankineni Ratna Pratap
Released Date: July 04, 2007

Story:
A recycled treat, the story is about the hero (Rajasekhar) and his darling sister Lakshmi (Meera Jasmine) who can die for each other and stand as the ideal pair for the brother-sister relationship. They grow up together under the able guidance of their guardian (Chandramohan) since their father Sarvarayudu and mother (Rajasekhar and Meera Jasmine) have an untimely death due to an accident which is already predicted in the horoscopes of the hero and his sister. Apparently, Sarvarayudu and his wife are like gods for the people of the village as their every need is taken care of by him and they are also known for their kind nature and power. It is after performing several poojas and rituals that they are blessed with the two children and now the two are the ideal ones for those around. Meanwhile, the hero falls in love with Nandini (Arthi) who happens to be a poor girl in the village while Lakshmi falls in love with the businessman Akash (Akash). As is his nature of being protective about his sister, the hero gets into the house of Akash as a servant to ensure if he is the right match for Lakshmi. After getting completely satisfied, the marriage takes place and eventually the hero also marries Nandini. It is one happy tale of love and affection until one day the distant aunt of Nandini, Suryakantham arrives. Right from day one, she hits out at the Sarvarayudu fame and uses all her evil cards to ensure that both the brother and sister get separated and suffer. This is due to the flashback when her husband (Jeeva) dies and Suryakantham mistakes it is due to Sarvarayudu. Does she get successful in all her attempts? Will it be the victory of brotherly love or evil? All this forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come out with a worn out subject and though he must be aware of this, he did not do much to make it interesting. His presentation was poor and the narration of the entire plot goes in an extreme manner which leaves no space for excitement. Equally bad were the technical aspects with a below average camerawork, very poor editing, weak script and amateur screenplay. The music which is the soul for a film has turned out to be a damp squib and except a lot of color and costumes on screen, there is nothing worthwhile. Dr Rajasekhar who is seen in a very soft spoken role tried his best to convey the emotions and attachments but then his role has not been etched out strongly so his potential is limited. Meera Jasmine has used her skills to the brim and proved that she is indeed a talented actress. Arthi needs to work very hard on her figure as she has blown out of proportion and looked very repulsive on few scenes. Chandramohan, Sivaji Raja, Banerjee deliver their roles with ease and elegance and the others have done their bit to add value. Venu Madhav needs a mention here for his vibrant performance and comedy which was a relief.

Conclusion:
This is a remake of the Kannada hit 'Annan Thangi' and one is not sure what the real objective of the movie is but then right from the word go, the film is all about sentiment, emotions and overflowing attachments which look far too clichéd for a layman also. Equally bad is the second half which takes the peak of sentiments and the final nail on the head is hit with an absolutely ridiculous climax which surely causes surprise for the viewers. Only a miracle can save this film from sinking entirely at the box office and it is about time the makers have a look at the small screen before they think of such subjects as the viewers have seen them all.
