Keratam Movie Review

Story:

Siddharth (Siddharth Raj Kumar) is a middle class student who leads his life in a jolly way. He doesn’t care about the future and doesn’t have dreams about tomorrow. He and Geetha (Aishwarya) fall in love and she sacrifices her medicine seat to study along with him.

Geetha’s parents comes to know about their love and her father will be left hurt by knowing that his daughter gave her ambition away for the sake of studying with Siddharth. Geetha understands her father pain and leaves Siddharth for studying medicine. After this Siddharth ignores his studies and stops going to college. He falls in love with Sangeetha (Rakul Preeth Singh), but she rejects him as he is not well educated.

Everyone around him settles down in life but Siddharth remains good for nothing and then he realizes his mistakes.

Analysis:

This film gives a strong message to youth to study well and don’t give up education for the sake of enjoyment. This point is touched many a director but is still evergreen as there are students who don’t realize the responsibility even in this super fast system.

Hero’s realization forms the climax of this film. Therefore the hero is seen in joshful mood until the penultimate scenes. Despite having a promising premise at hands, the director didn’t make good use of it. Screenplay is loose and the scenes are too flat. There is no single scene that arrests the attention of audience.

Performances:
Siddharth did well in his very first film. He has loads of confidence and can challenge his competitors if given a good script. He also needs the push from his family for the audience to recognize him. If you want us to give single reason to watch this film, we will say watch it for this youngster who is brimming with confidence.

Rakul Preeth Singh gets very less screen time. Aishwarya is Okay. She resembled Madhavi Latha of Nachavule fame. Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao excelled in his role. Venu Madhav’s comedy is routine yet entertaining. Rest of the cast is apt.

Technicalities:

Joshua Sridhar’s music is fine with two good songs. Background score is neat. Cinematography and Editing are among the positives of this film. This film is technically good and director Gowtham Patnaik has proved that he has command on all the crafts. He got the best out of his technical team. But the script which was borrowed from a Kannada film has let him down.

Final Word: This wave is weak!
