Dussehra is always a big festival for Telugu people, not
only interms of Devi Puja, but also interms of number of new movie releases. This
Dussehra season has three new releases, namely ‘Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava’
and ‘Hello Guru Prema Kosame’ and ‘Pandem Kodi2’, the last one being a dubbed
film from Tamil to Telugu. This festive season started with Jr NTR’s ‘Aravinda
Sametha...’ on a high note. After a week, on exactly Vijaya Dasami day, hero
Ram’s new film ‘Hello Guru Prema Kosame’ hit the silver screen along with Vishal’s
‘Pandem Kodi2’. Did 'Hello Guru...' gave the much needer breather to Hero Ram?
As the title suggests, ‘Hello Guru Prema Kosame’ is a family
entertainer with a love story. Though the title looks fresh, the story line is
neither new, nor fresh for regular movie goers. It is the story of a rural boy,
who came to city for a job just to satisfy his father’s wish.
Briefly the story
goes like this... Sanju (hero Ram) came to city and stays at his mother’s
childhood friend Viswanath’s (Prakashraj) house. Viswanath is a man of
character, who keep up his promise come what may. Hero will fell in love with
Viswanath’s daughter Anupama (Anupama Parameswaran). But before the hero expresses
his love towards her, her father promises to marry her to another young man
(Noel). Heroine father feels that his selection is the best choice for his daughter.
But soon he comes to know about hero’s love towards her daughter. But that is
too late. But still hero, who is in heroine’s house itself tries his luck to
win over the hearts of heroine and her father (If it sounds very simillar to
many of your earlier watches on silver screen, don’t curse your memory). How it all came to a filmy end of hero,
heroine’s marriage is the rest of the story.
Ram looks stylish and tries his best to carry the role as
well as the film on his shoulders. His dancing abilities were also used in one
or two numbers too. But, as the main plot is a routine one and with an
unsuccessful attempt of fresh treatment, all the efforts go invain. Anupama
Parameswaran’s character as an obedient daughter of a father looks good on
paper. She looks ok too, with an inconsistant and not so good own dubbing voice
of Telugu. Prakash Raj who is known for his famous ‘Bommarillu’ type father
roles once again casted in a simillar role. But it was given more humane and
friendly angle. He tries his best to fit the bill with his vast experience of
essaying simillar roles. But after some time, it becomes redundant. Mannerism
of Aamani talking incorrect English gives a bit of comic relief.
Devisri Prasad’s music is a plus point. First song which
says the World’s best place is Native place is bit thoughtful too. But the
rerecording and sometimes the mixing too dominated. Especially in the key scene
between Ram and Prakash Raj at climax, the dialogues of hero lack clarity and
even not audiable too. Prasanna Kumar Bezawada, who is known for his dialogue
writing ability in his previous outings, shows his spark occassionally. But as
the over all story has many simillarities right from ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, ‘Dilwale
Dulhaniya le jayenge’ to ‘Nuvvu Naaku Nacchavu’, etc. and as the screenplay
lacks interest, it is very difficult for audience to sit through the film till
the end, without yawning.
Overall, this Vijaya Dasami release 'Hello Guru... Prema Kosame' lacks the finer
ability to please audience and fails to give a much needed big succes to hero
Ram.
