Uyyala
Jampala is a low budget film associated with big names like Nagarjuna
and Suresh Babu. Nagarjuna is one of the producers and Suresh Babu is
the presenter of this film. This film caught the attention of movie
lovers with good promotional material and it is a decent film that live
up to that expectations formed.
Story :
Soori
(Raj Tarun) and Uma Devi are cousins (Bava Maradallu) that grows up in
the same neighborhood. They always fight with each other and doesn't
realize that they have immense love on their opposite. When the time
comes they realize that they are made for each other and get married.
Performances:
Raj
Tarun is good as the typical village boy doing some local business. He
brings that believability to his character and comes up with an
excellent performance right in his first film. He is a talent to watch
out for. Avika is well known to Telugu audience with 'Chinnari
Pellikooturu' TV serial. She did well in the role of a naughty and
confused 'maradalu'. She is cute and fits the bill. Kireeti of Second
Hand fame did a cameo in this. His presence doesn't go unnoticed. All
other actors did their bit and made this film a watchable fare.
Technicalities:
Director
Virinchi Varma's choice of script is good. He took up a subject that
will appeal to anyone. Everyone must have self experienced or seen a
couple like this in their real lives. That is the first success of the
director and the way he brought it on to the screen is commendable.
Director didn't try to make a marvelous film; he just attempted a simple
love story with lovable elements in it. He has succeeded in making this
film a joyous ride.
Cinematography
is top notch. We don't see such quality often in small budget films.
The big names associated with this film on the production side come in
handy in making this a quality film. Dialogues are impressive. Music by
MR Sunny is very good. Editing done by Marthand K Venkatesh keeps the
film crisp and short. This small film is technically sound and impresses
on every front.
Analysis:
Uyyala
Jampala is as simple and as natural as its title. It is a cute love
story of confused cousins. First half of the film breezes off with a
wonderful pace. You will instantly love the characters and follow them
right from the start. Director kept it simple and straight so that we
don't need much time to get connected with the characters.
Lovable
characters and believable situations make Uyyala Jampala a pleasure to
watch. Hero doesn't know that he is actually in love with his maradalu
and we wait for the moment that he realizes that. Director failed to
make that moment click and the pace in second half slows down
considerably.
Uyyala
Jampala has its share of weaknesses but it has some pleasant and sweet
moments that will leave you with a 'feel good' impression. Youthful
films are mainly focusing on the urbane romance these days. But we still
have lovable and cute couples in villages and their love is as natural
and as clean as the village greenery. Uyyala Jampala brings one of those
cute village couples on to the screen and it is a delight to watch
their love story.
If
you can excuse few hiccups in the film Uyyala Jampala will be a film
that will definitely put a smile on your face for most of the time.
Watch it if you are bored with routine masala fare and wanting to watch
something cute and natural.
Verdict: Uyyala Jampala - Cute Romantic Entertainer
