Pelli Choopulu (2016) :
Brief Review -
Pelli Choopulu serves a sweet dish of love, professional desires, comedy and slight bit of woman empowerment. There are some films which offer something out of their genre but never get known for that. The reason for it is quite acceptable that we don't have any specific genre to fit them in, we have same old tags which are used and will be used forever. Pelli Choopulu is known as a rom-com but actually it is not even half of what it is called. Numerically, there is 30% rom-com portion while rest of the 70% combines a sweet mixture of ambitions, realisation and slight bit of woman encouragement. We see many films made on these topics separately so obviously it becomes typical, but fortunately not boring. Maybe tasting a new dish of unknown genre made by using all the known ingredients is what makes it tasty. Nevertheless, Pelli Choopulu still fulfills your appetite of watching a good film. A wannabe businesswoman and a happy-go-lucky guy meet each other during an arranged marriage blind date but eventually team up to start a food truck on their own. This unexpected union serves them to realise the actual taste of life and then typical romance follows the rest of the story. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Verma makes a very sweet chemistry on screen. Their individual performances, looks, accents and rest of the characteristics are fine too. The film has very thoughtful dialogues coming in very genuine way, so genuine that sometimes you even miss the point and then realise it after a moment. The music is good, cinematography is decent, screenplay is engaging and Tharun Bhascker's direction is perfect for the limits of this content. Pelli Choopulu may sound mediocre as a love-story but other elements like drama, family problems, self-esteem and woman empowerment saves it from sinking and swims it to the shore safely.
RATING - 7/10*
