Energetic hero Ram, has been going through a lean phase from
quite some time now. Loosing no hope, he is back with a romantic entertainer
Nenu Sailaja. Let’s now see whether he makes a strong comeback on this new year’s
day.
Story:-
Hari(Ram) is like any other young guys who wants to fall in
love and enjoy his life. To his bad luck, everyone rejects him most of the
time. Upset with this, he decides not to fall in love again. But destiny has
other plans and introduces him to the lovely looking Sailaja(Keerthi Suresh).
Hari spends some good times with Sailaja and right when he
proposes his love, she rejects him point blank. An upset Ravi continues with
his life and as time passes by, he gets a huge clue which could help him
getting back his love.
What is that clue ? and How will Hari use it to win his love
back forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points:-
Nenu Sailaja is a tailor made role for Ram. He is at ease in
his character and performs supremely well throughout the film. The way he has
carried varied emotions and has brought out his sensitive side is very good.
One of the major attractions of the film is Keerthi Suresh.
The Malayali actress looks beautiful and has a stunning screen presence. Her
chemistry with Ram works well and she gives a very confident and balanced
performance throughout the film.
First half of the film is very good with some subtle yet
entertaining humour. The dialogues, romance and the feel good factor in the
film will entertain you big time. While the first half was quite youthful, the
second half has good family emotions.
Minus Points:-
Whenever you narrate a love story, you exactly know that it
will be a happy ending most of the times. The same is the case in this film too
as the story is quite predictable and has many moments that you can guess right
away.
After an interesting first half, tempo in the second half
dips slightly and certain family emotions take center stage. The heroine’s
character which has strong will power gets a bit weak during this time and the
focus shifts on family bonding.
Technical Aspects:-
Devi Sri Prasad’s music is one of the added advantages to the
film. None of the songs disturb the flow of the film and have been shot
extremely well. Camera work is top notch and so was the art direction.
Dialogues need a special mention as they have been written with a lot of
simplicity and yet connect big time.
Coming to the director Kishore Tirumala, he has done a
wonderful job with the film. Even though he chooses a simple and routine story,
the way he has narrated it in a simple yet entertaining way is superb. There
are no extra characters, no forced comedy and no illogical scenes in his
direction. The way he brings out subtle yet varied emotions from his star cast
is superb.
Verdict:-
On the whole, Nenu Shailaja is a simple yet beautiful love
story with the right mix of family emotions. Superb first half, Ram’s balanced
performance and a clean narration are huge assets for the film. If you ignore
the routine nature of the script during the second half, you can happily watch
this feel good film with your entire family and start the new year on a
positive note.
