Story
Priya (Priya Bannerjee) lives in San Francisco with her parents but due to the strict restrictions from her parents and forced marriage, she runs away from house to commit suicide. Sunny (Adivi Sesh) comes to her rescue and makes her learn life is beautiful. In the short period, the duo falls in love and meanwhile, Priya’s parents and fiancée are in search of the lady. The rest forms the story.
Performances
Adivi Sesh looks good in few scenes and he performs well. Priya Banerjee looks bubbly and she plays her part convincingly.
Bharat Reddy is wasted in insignificant role, Shafi is noticeable, others weren’t upto the mark.
Technical analysis
Cinematography is classy and San Fransisco locales are beautifully captured. Music is okay while the background score could have been apt to the situational proceedings. Editing is pathetic. Lots of unnecessary scenes in the second half could have been trimmed down, Adivi Sesh scores in acting but as director he couldn’t leave his mark. Screenplay is awful. Production values are standard.
Analysis
Kiss story is routine while the screenplay is awful with inconsistent flow and loads of predictable scenes in the second half. The story moves on a boring note right from the word go and added to this the performances of supporting cast gets on to our nerves. Neither the comedy works nor the romantic scenes between the leads work for the Kiss film instead it makes the audiences loose patience and look for climax. Kiss has little entertainment but it goes in vain due to the staleness and illogical sequences. Editor should have sharpened his scissors to trim down unnecessary stuff especially the dragging scenes in the second half. The narration is dragging while the presentation is unconvincing giving an amateur attempt.
Final Verdict
Amateur attempt by Adivi Sesh
