Story

After the introduction and characterization of all the lead roles and the take off of the film to certain extent the actual story starts when Madhu (Preethika Rao) falls in love with Karthik (Varun Sandesh) who is against love. But in an unavoidable situation Karthik has to say yes to Madhu’s proposal. From then on he tries to ditch her in various means. Finally he decides to make her fall in other person love so that he could get rid of her. What happens next is left to your imagination.

Analysis :

Main plot is lifted from it and is given youthful look. The director admitted that he got inspired from many films to make this Priyudu. Understandably this film has similarities with many films. Everything is seen and known before. Nothing goes against the predictions. The take off of the film is pretty bad and it gets it on your nerves as the film moves on. So many characters are introduced within first fifteen minutes or so without any real purpose. Second half started off on a decent note, but falls flat again and heads in a predictive mode. Climax portions are too clichéd. Priyudu neither has feel nor soul. It is just another movie. Watch it at your own cost.

Performance :

Varun Sandesh is Okay. He is fine with the histrionics but he needs to concentrate upon his look and styling. Preethika Rao is ordinary in terms of looks and performance. Ranadhir is below average. Swetha Basu Prasad is seen in a guest role. Vennela Kishore tried to tickle at times. Ali is wasted. Tagubothu Ramesh is getting monotonous. Nazar and others were Okay in their respective roles. Dialogues are not so appealing. Photography is and Editing are up to the mark. Music is mediocre. Background score is just average. Director Sraavan knows the basics but fails to do something special in his debut film. Script is too weak for him to show his skills if he has any.

Final Word Priyudu is yet another love story that features majorly Youth on a larger scale. But, the weak performance of the star cast and stereo type screenplay, story – telling, fetches not much to the success of the film. Apart from certain extent, the film seems to be routine and nothing more.
