Nuvvila Review ' Nuvvila Movie Review, Rating, Nuvvila Telugu Movie: Ravi Babu is known for making youthful films targeted at urban youth and multiplex audience. He has mastered the art of making such films at will. His previous thriller Amaravathi was a disappointment due to lack of entertainment. He is back to his forte in Nuvvila, which is a romantic comedy with a bit of 'A rated stuff'. Read on Nuvvila review'

Listen Review:
Story:

This is the film about three friends and their different love stories.

1st one: Anand (Ajay) is a brilliant student but is confused about decision making. He takes one year off from his studies to decide about his next step. He falls in love with Archana (Yami), who is a neighbor of his. She is a great admirer of cricketer Vishnu and when Anand decides to express his love to Archana, he comes to know that she is in love with Vishnu.

2nd one: Raju (Prasad) is a violinist and comes to Hyderabad to pursue his career in film industry. He accidentally bumps into Rani (Ramya) whom he hates to the core. He feels that she brings bad luck to him. In one unavoidable situation they get married.

3rd one: Mahesh (Havish) dreams to become a famous male model. He breaks up with Madhavi (Sarayu) and she tries to teach him a lesson by pitching a gay Shailu (Haleem) against him. Mahesh's life turns into a terrible mishap after that.

How all these stories end up is what this film is about.

Analysis:

Ravibabu is clear about the target audience for this film and he never tried to get away from that. He introduced the characters in a simple yet funny way and started to unfold their crazy/stupid love stories in an entertaining manner. Apart from stupidity there is also some sincerity in this comedy film and that angle is dealt well in the form of Ajay-Archana love story.

Despite being thoroughly entertaining the film does irritate a bit due to repetitive scenes and an overdose of adult (read gay) comedy. However, there are some truly hilarious scenes which will make you laugh like hell. First half is breezy and second half lags a bit in the middle. Climax is over the top but funny.

Nuvvila is a youthful film which will appeal to the target audience and enjoyed by the people who love to watch mindless comedies.

Performances:

Ravibabu's biggest success in this film is getting the star cast right. Barring Radha Kumari and a couple of known faces, all others are newcomers and they did well to make the characters believable.

Prasad is a riot. He spells 'sa' as 'la' and all those scenes highlighting that weakness are good. Ramya complimented him well with a decent performance.

Havish is natural. His expressions and comedy timing are too good. Ajay is good but could've done better. His outburst in the climax scene didn't come out as expected. On a whole he isn't that bad.

Yami is beautiful and really angelic like the director portrayed her in the introduction scene. She is a very good actress too. Ravibabu is perfect. Rest of the cast did their best to keep up the spirit of the movie.

Technicalities:

Although Nuvvila was made on a shoestring budget, there isn't any lack of quality. Cinematographer, art department did a very good job. Editing is neat. Music is fine. Songs are interlaced in the narrative and are good on ears too. Shekar Chandra's background score is also good.

Ravibabu came up with another decent youthful comedy and proves that he is the best in business to pull off a film with completely unknown faces. His sense of humor is the USP of this film. Saying so, he should have toned down the A rated comedy a bit to make it appealing to all the classes.

Final Word: Nuvvila: Watch it!

Review

Story

nuvvila The story of the film deals with stories of three teen male friends. Three of them work as Pizza delivery boys to earn pocket-money. Mahesh (Havish) is a happy-go-lucky boy who gets in fight with his girlfriend Madhavi (Sarayu). Anand (Ajay) falls for his neighbor Archana (Yami) who in turn has hots for a cricketer Vishnu (Vijay Sai). Fidel Raju (Prasad Barvy) is an aspiring musician who hates Rani (Ramya) who keeps bringing bad luck to him. The rest of the story is all about how these three stories converge on an ending.

Artists Performance

nuvvila90% of the actors in the film are new. Hence one will end up watching characters on the screen. Like most of Ravi Babu's film characters, the characters in this film too suffer with certain personality problems. Havish did a role where there is scope for entertainment. Ajay has sympathy oriented role. Raju's role is fun. Among the actresses, Ramya is spontaneous. Radha Kumari is hilarious as bed-ridden bamma. Ravi Babu writes/dons a very good character of a police who is obsessed with marrying off the couples. Haleem deserves special mention for his uninhibited portrayal of a gay. Chakri, RP Patnaik, Koti, Kalyani Malik and MM Keeravani acted as themselves in a few episodes.

Technical departments

nuvvilaStory - screenplay - direction: (spoilers ahead) There are three different stories in the movie. The story of Anand trying to help the impregnated woman has similarity with the story line of 2002 Korean teen flick 'Sex is zero' (the get-up of hero also looks similar). The story of Raju and Rani who are asked to stay together for six months by judge after accidentally getting married reminds us of 2008 Hollywood flick 'What Happens in Vegas'. Ravi Babu introduces the vital characters well using the voice-over of Sunil very effectively. The conflict points are revealed during the interval points and they are solved towards the climax. The scenes in the first half are fresh and young. However, the extended gay comedy track in the second half becomes a deterrent for the flow of story in the second half. Ravi Babu's films are known for exploring dysfunctional families and this film too is not an exception. A couple of scenes (the sudden death and hurried hospitalization towards the climax) are not convincing enough. Ravi Babu who has also penned dialogues write neat and humor-oriented dialogues.

nuvvilaOther departments: Music by Sekhar Chandra is a big asset to the movie. The songs are short in length and they are properly blended into the narration by Ravi Babu. Background music is also apt. Cinematography Sudhakar Reddy complements the theme. Art direction by Narayana Reddy is good. Editing by Marthand K Venkatesh is nice.

nuvvilaAnalysis: First half of the movie is neat and satisfactory. The extended gay track become a stumbling block for the narration in the second half. Ravi Babu succeeds in narrating the story with sprinkled humor and mellifluous music. A better handling of second half would have made the movie more universal. Ravi Babu has the knack of changing genres. On a whole, Nuvvila is a young film (if you can excuse overly-done gay track in the second half).
