Disclaimer : The views here expressed belongs to me ......i have seen the movie and hope i put my point of view before all of you .
Gautham Menon ,one of the most popular directors in south india who always intrages the audience with his movies that make his movies worth. He made ye maaya chasave in telugu and tamil ...which even today i could not understand .....coming back to today ,it was his magic sword "love" that brought him to do this movie yeto vellipoindhe manasu ....and add to that it was illayaraja music .......well the expectations rise so high ....well let us see how the movie experience went.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.

Without making any long boring statement ,let me jump straight into the story ....a middle class boy and a rich girl who live in the same apartments who go through different phases of love as the time moves on ....
When movie starts ,the college set up and lot more and it all began with krishnudu introduction song ....well the song goes on the lines of kalasala lo in kotha bangaru lokam ...and then hero and heroine meets and from there the movie goes into the flash back .....and comes to present .......then goes future and then comes to present .......it all happens in the sequence of 8-14-20--24 .....they are 4 break ups and 5 patch ups ....... all silly fights in love ,egos and so on the saga of 90's love stories which are never ending sagas ...
The sad part of the film is the film ran like a daily serial where there is more scope for expression than dialogues .....sorry menon sir ,i am a huge fan of you but this time you went to hit the dead end ...surprisingly many people who came to watch the film went in the middle just coz they could not hear what the actors are saying and they can only see the sequence of break ups and patch ups ....
End of the first half ....i could only remember one thing that the movie just had its first flash back
break....and when every the hero and heroine meets,there was a a break up on the cards ....
Gutam sir ......how could you use illayraja songs in parts ......each song is a river ,it has to flow ..if you built a dam ,the flavor and the music dries up .....that is what happened .....when you work with a god ....you got to learn that people have high expectations on each song that god has given us but sorry to say i could not hear a full song through out the film ...
I thought the director did not know the story after the first half .....he went into the zone where he has to follow the flow that left me wondering is love is all about i break your heart ,you break my heart and more to add fuel ......silly fights that starting from waiting , it was more of like it was dragged in 2nd half to the extent where there were few places i felt like more than the words ,silence has the more content in the movie .......
few glimpse of movie that made the day
1.krishnudu : many reviewers said that it was waste to keep krishnudu ,,,,,,when i was leaving theater ..people are talking about krishnudu more than the hero and heroine .
2.ye maaya chasavo movie spoof on krishnadu
3.after reading 476 emails from nani by samantha must be the world record ......what achievement ......and i liked the way she reacts ......"oka book la undhi " in a sarcastic way
Few minus of the film :
Weak story ,routine story that i must admit ,seen Sakhi. ,orange ,etc movies scenes just add to that ....music was super but there was no justification of the music on the screen.Many said that climax was highlight ......i must admit that nani is one of the best talent in tollywood ....but when it came to this film ,the climax as told by many ........well its all confusion ,the same thing that happened in band baaja baarat ......i know menon sir does not pick up the scenes...
Acting by nani and samantha was natural .....krishnudu was good and the samantha friend was funny
When it comes to the technical depts ......
Director : i have seen all G.Menon movies off late ......may be one of his few films that i could not connect .....
Music : what can i say about god ......illayaraja .....his music is divine and he rocks but i could not see what he created on the silver screen .......which was very sad to see
anyways .....moral of yeto vellipoindhe manasu is
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.

Dear Pavan,
ReplyDeleteThere is no movie called "Saakhi"...it's Sakhi.
YMC ki music ARR. So his music helped a lot where as for YMC Illayaraja scored the music, but he wasn't not able to recreate the magic like ARR did in YMC. I wouldn't say songs are big let down, but it's not great.
He is maestro, god etc but he crossed his prime time.
Coming into movie - Trust me People are who are in love and who did had sad ending to their love will definitely connect with the movie for sure.
couples always won't fight for bigger things. Each and every human will have ego and basically women don't like to say the small word "SORRY".
Lead pair was in school at the age of 8 then it shifts to 14 then 20 then again to 24 and after 5 months both will meet :).
Check the facts before commenting bro
If you look at "Sakhi" it deals with small misunderstandings post marriage and Orange was dealt on other issue. Heroine always wanted hero to pay attention on her only.
To me Nani did really good in this movie and i don't know what kind of fault is there in the climax??
Bottom Line:- Slow narration and lengthy movie
first of all .....
Delete1.i changed the movie to sakhi ,thanks for correction .
2.i did not like arr music in ymc also ....sorry i dont think ymc music can never match the music of yeto vellipoindhe manasu .....for me .....underline
3.i never said in the blog that the movie was a copy or issues of these films are as it is ,i said some scenes were re presented ,which in my view ......
4.ok thank you for getting me right on facts ...
5.coming to movie ....may be but from what i have seen today .....many were disappointed .ha ha by the way i never said fights wont happen or there to happen ...i said it happens for a silly reason .
6.yep it was right nani was good in the movie ......i could not connect with the climax .....that is what i was saying ......flash back ki velli,malli future lo ki vachi .....ela movie antha undhi ani na feeling ......underline last word :)
YMC is a chart buster where as in YVM you can pick 1 or 2 songs. That made the difference
ReplyDeleteFights b/w couples will have for very silly reasons, for us it's silly but for them it's serious matter.
What did you expected from Gowtham Menon?? you expected a racy entertainer or Naatu comedy?? All know very well about his movies, so it's your fault :))
Could not cnnect with climax - She was standing in front of Hero, but she wasn't able to tell him that she is madly loving him. That's the reason hero asked her few times "idhena cheppali anukunadhi...inthena...inkemi ledha"
1.ymc songs naku ikkaledu ,may be they might be chart buster
Delete2.ha ha couples gurunchi pedha ga teliyadu ,movies lo tappa ..(ha ha )
3.i expected a more serious movie from gowtham menon .....ha ha yep its my fault to go with high expectations
4.even now i am saying the movie climax,i could not connect .you may ask why,may be coz the slow running of the film,the disconnect of the story ....he he meru baga impress ayiaru movie chusi ....he he anipisthundhi
Suman.. I couldnt neither connect to YMC nor YVM..please dont make YMC as a benchmark for love stories..if it is a film like Geethanjali, Tholiprema etc., it would suit the word benchmark better. But YMC was as confused as this film was, where the two main protagonists don't know what they are doing at all.
DeleteComing to the music part, there was no scope for Maestro to even give any BGM when the actors are talking non-stop and having heated arguments..when you say Maestro has lost his prime phase, please check our Sri Rama Rajyam BGMs..they are something phenomenal and it was released just last year..
And yes..when it comes to lovers fighting for silly reasons..there is Khushi which was shown in entertaining and comical way..and according to me..a love story is something which will really make even a person who is not in love to feel the emotions..but not confining to just couples or people who exactly are in such situations..
