Bava Nacchadu (Telugu)

A smooth pleasure to view, Bava Nachadu.

Bava Nachadu the recently released picture, entertains its audiences from its opening shot to the end slide continuously for two and a half hours. This would be a smooth pleasure view for common cinegoer, who wish to relax and stretch while he sits in the theatre.

There is not much change or uniqueness in the story line of the film. The relationship between a Brother-in-Law (BIL) and a Sister-in-Law (SIL) are popular and is widely accepted in AP not only in the real life but also in the reel life. In fact, the BIL and SIL stories are in style in almost all Indian languages for the celluloid.

The crux of the story goes as follows. Nagarjuna gets married to Simran. Reema Sen, SIL of Nagarjuna falls in love with Nagarjuna. Director's effort is to be appreciated for presenting situational consequences to kindle love in Reema Sen for her BIL. The extent of love shuts her eyes to the reality that she has to share her sister's husband, which is though not unnatural but troublesome to her sister's living. The pressure of Reema goes to the extent of threatening to commit suicide if she is not married to Nagarjuna. Simran out of her love towards her sister has to give in. Observing Reema's love towards Nagarjuna, she promises her sister to get her married to him.

Reema takes all the liberties with Nagarjuna after the assurance from her sister. Nagarjuna innocent of the developments between his wife and SIL experiences a sandwich situation between Simran and Reema. His troubles come to a close when another character enters the scene. He loves Reema and this comforts Nagarjuna. Though the storyline seems to be simple, the recitation expertise of director K S Ravi Kumar is to be appreciated.

Sensible humour among the trio makes the audience to hold their bellies during the screening. Major parts of all the six songs were picturised overseas. Bava Nachadu can be graded among the successful movies released. Along with it, technical support of Cinematographer Shyam K Naidu presented Reema Sen and Simran colourfully on the screen. In spite of Keeravani composing music to all the six songs, none of them could make the audience tap their feet for the melody. Keeravani's pains could not cross average mark status.
