1 Nenokkadine Review:
Superstar Prince Mahesh Babu’s Most awaited movie “1- Nenokkadine” is all set to release on January 10th which is directed by Sukumar and Produced by Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta and Anil Sunkara Under their own banner 14reels Entertainment. Kriti Sanon debuting in to telugu film industry and even Mahesh babu’s son Gautham Krishna is also debuting with this movie. It has done its censor screening and got ‘U/A’ certificate .
Story:
Story starts with an exasperating dream for Rock Star Gautham (Mahesh Babu) about his childhood. Into present, Gautham attends the Music concert and goes on for chase of villain Antonio (Kelly Dorjee) while Journalist Sameera (Kriti Sanon) shoots the entire episode. To everyone’s shock, there is no one like Antonio and Gautham is declared of suffering with psycho-neurological disease of illusion. However, Gautham’s soul is haunted by three faces (Pradeep Rawat, Naazar and Kelly Dorjee), who killed his parents in childhood. To recover the childhood memories and reconnect himself with past life, Gautham moves to Goa away from crowds. Sameera too follows him where a romantic bond is developed. Before Gautham begins to admit about the disease, few shocking incidents reveal on real existence of above mentioned three people linked to Gautham’s school days and family life in London and Belfast. Both Gautham and Sameera step in London to untangle the past.
Cast Crew of the Movie:
Mahesh Babu has given one of his career best performances in this film. He is a wonderful actor and Sukumar tapped his acting abilities to the maximum in this movie. Mahesh Babu excels in emotional and entertaining scenes. Interval scene is an example for how good an actor he is. The intensity he brings in is amazing. He is definitely the high point of this film. He has done some dances that will please his fans. There is no six pack scene, but he did go shirtless and appeared with bare back in a shower scene.
Kriti Sanon is alright as an actress. But her character irritates in the first half. Goa episode tortures on the heroine front. Nasser is good and Kelli Dorjee is usual. Pradeep Rawat is standard and Posani Krishna Murali is alright. There is an item song on Sophie Chowdary and it is not up to the expectations.
Technicalities:
1 is a technically well made film. It has superb cinematography and top notch visuals. We don't get to see these kind of visuals in Telugu films often. Devi Sri Prasad scored with the background score. His songs are just average. We expect more from the combination of DSP and Sukumar. Editing is alright about the basics. But the film lags on and on and drags for almost three hours. Wonder what the editor was doing? Production values are rich and it requires guts for any makers to spend so much money on a film that doesn't have any commercial elements.
Sukumar is one director that makes movies with out of box ideas and novel themes. He doesn't try to do regular mass masala movies and always comes up with something new. Even 1 Nenokkadine has a very unique plot, but he failed to execute it well. He couldn't blend the action and the psychological angle of the hero in a proper way and the movie end up as a torture to the audience.
Highlights of this movie:
Mahesh Babu is simply outstanding as Gautham. He looks lean and fit and he has tried his best to shoulder a weak product. One can see how hard Mahesh Babu worked for the movie. Gautham Krishna does not have much to do, but he has done what is required of him.
Kriti Sanon looks good, especially in the sequences shot in Goa. She has given an okay performance. The interval sequence has been shot well and Mahesh Babu’s performance in this sequence is excellent.
Some of the chase sequences have been shot well and Ratnavelu’s cinematography is a big asset for the movie.
Minus Points:
The screenplay of this movie is one big mess. The plot is needlessly complex and will be quite tough for most people to handle. A film like ‘Inception’ is perhaps easier to understand than this movie.
The production team hyped up the action sequences that were shot in London. But in the film, these London scenes end up causing a big disappointment. They are way too small and basically what you see in the teasers is all that there is to those scenes.
The film’s runtime is a big minus and at least 30 minutes could have been shaved off from the film. There are way too many chase sequences in the film and they do not add to the thrill factor.
Entertainment quotient is near zero. There is no comedy to engage casual moviegoers and Mahesh Babu’s fans will be disappointed with the lack of heroism in the film. The climax is a big disappointment.
Final Words:
’1 – Nenokkadine’ ends up as a disappointment. Except for Mahesh Babu’s outstanding performance in the film, there is nothing in the film Expect Mahesh..
