With not much hue and cry around the movie except for the launch of another starkid Nagachaitanya, I was expecting another family entertainer from the stable of Dil Raju.
We booked the tickets for the first day first show, but unfortunately due to the sudden turnaround of events post YSR’s sad demise had to postpone our plan. Even though the movie was released on Friday we could manage to watch it on Monday only.
Firstly I Liked the Movie.
It has been quite a long time that a movie based out and out on college background has been made. I guess after Sye ,Josh is the only movie which belongs to that category.
We enjoyed the movie completely. Chaitanya was looking decently charming. But I suppose that’s the way debutant actors look like. For that matter when Bunny was launched in Gangotri or Charan in Chiruta they also had that innocence in their faces. Hopefully Chaitanya would also work on his body language for his next movie of Gowtham menon. With a lite beard and oiled hair in the opening scene he resembled Nagarajuna in Geetanjali. He showed good difference in his body language distinguishing the character from the flashback episode.
The best part about Karthika was she never over/under occupied the screen with the hero. Her raised eyebrows were eye catchy. Though she appeared a little tall , her role is bubbly.
Dil Raju has this very keen ability to identify the guyz who work for their dream – another such hunt result is Director vasu varma. To be a debutante director and at the same time launching a Starkid would have drained him out completely as he has to prove himself catering to the expectations of the fans. I think by choosing a college backdrop he was able to strike the chord with Students and masses. Though to make the family audiences comfortable he maintained the track of Prakash Raj as a good Samaritan principle.
As far as the story goes the director chose to keep the audience sceptical in the first half as to what would the flash back episode be. I thought the interval would be something similar to Student number 1. The first half was witty especially because of Sunil, who added the punch lines and comic mannerisms while the second half was more concentrated on diversifying the acting skills of chaitanya.
Music by sandeep chowta is good and I liked the bit songs. The satirical song of college bulloda has humorous lyrics. Although by Monday the song me me meka was removed from the movie .
All in all it’s a good movie with a Message. The Best part about the movie was its all about Youth and as always YOUTH ROCKZZZZ….JOSH
