Tollywood Dashing Director Puri Jagannadh’s son Akash Puri’s second film, Romantic Movie has generated decent buzz among the Telugu audience with its promotional activities. Co-starring Delhi-based actress Ketika Sharma, the film hit the screens today (29th October 2021). Let’s look at the review of the Romantic movie.
Story:
Set in Goa backdrop, Vasco da Gama (Akash Puri) does crimes to earn money for a reason. For the same, Vasco Da Gama along with his childhood friend Annie join Goa’s notorious drug mafia gang. Eventually, Vasco gets grip on Goa’s underworld. In the process, Vasco falls for a young musician named Monica (Ketika Sharma). This is the time ACP Ramya( Ramya Krishna) enters the scene to nab the drug gang in Goa. Will Ramya’s team succeed in tracking Vasco Da Gama’s underworld drugs mafia? How will the relationship between the lead pair disturbed with the police involvement on drug dealers in the city forms the rest of the story.
On-screen Performances:
Akash Puri has improved a lot in terms of acting and screen presence. He carried the film on his shoulders and pulled off the given role decently. Compared to his first film, Mehboob, Akash Puri showed good variance in the dialogue delivery.
Actress Ketika Sharma is amazing with her screen presence. The Onscreen romance between the lead pair will be a treat for the youth audience. Ramya Krishna as a cop is good. Her performance in the key second-half proceedings is an added advantage for the movie. Hero Ram made a cameo appearance in a special song in the ‘Ustaad’ avatar which will be a treat to watch for his fans to watch.
Off-screen Performance:
Music composer Sunil Kashyap is one of the main highlights of the movie as he lifts the proceedings with his catchy and impactful songs and impactful background score. Editing work is not bad. The cinematography is good as the beautiful location in Goa is captured nicely. Production values for this limited-budget movie are alright.
Anil Paduri did a decent job as the director as he presented this dark romantic drama with an appealing narration. Though the story and screenplay provided by Puri Jagannadh reminds us of his previous films like Poriki and Idiot, Anil with his directorial skills executed Romantic in a very good manner.
Positive Points:
The romance between the lead pair
Songs and background score
Minus Points:
Lack of novelty in the story
Unengaging screenplay
Verdict:
Overall, Romantic is a youthful dark romantic flick that has enough elements such as romance and good songs to attract the target youth audience. On the flip side, the lack of novelty in the story and screenplay makes the film a dull watch for a general audience. You can watch the film if you enjoy crime romantic stories. It will be a sure treat for the Puri Jagannath movie lovers.
