Bommarillu (2006)
10/10
It's Love. It's Magic
9 September 2021
A few months ago my cousin elder brother who is 10 years older suggested me to watch a telugu film with a weird name, 'Bomarillu'.

The suggestion was heard and then forgotten. But one random day I came across Genelia Deshmukh's instagram video and suddenly the name flashed in my mind so I googled it. On discovering that it has 8.2 imdb rating, I instantly grew a strong desire to watch this film.

I downloaded this cinema and from here on now I'll just pour in my emotions of how much I have loved this film This is simply a beautiful, magical film. To describe it in words would be to devoid it of its' magic.

The cast is cute and both the lead just grows on you to the point that you fall in love with them. Genelia, a typical bollywood watcher would agree, had her moments with films like 'Jane Tu Ya Jane Na' and 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gya'. Any guy would be drawn to her by her cuteness and she has a very fresh and happy personality that never fails to steal your heart.

But oh god! Bomarillu would make you fall for her head over heels. Her character Hasini is an angelic beauty.

And there are these brilliant moments in the film. The way the first time Siddu & Hasini meets. You are taken into a magical world with the background music and the originality of that scene is purely divine. It will forever remain with you.

Then when Siddu goes to her college to introduce himself and she reverts:

Anthena??

Inkem Kavali??

Veelaithe nalugu maatalu Kudirithe cup coffee

I have enquired some telugu friends, and in their words, this particular scene was the go-to romantic opening line for an entire generation.

And now the scene which I have binge-watched a thousand times.

Bus stops...Hasini comes out, walks towards Siddu

She cutely delivers her mixed feelings and without clarifying returns to her bus

And then all the girls shout "Senior Sir.... Hasini Loves You"

My heart skipped a beat with the music and the whole set-up.

Oh I wish I was a 25 year youth in 2006 in Andhra and could have watched this film then..

The songs, (and I don't know telugu), are a treat to the ears. I have learned Apudo Ipudo and wish someday I can sing this for someone.

But one thing that this movie is not, is simply a love story, NO.

This movie is a journey of a typical BOY.

This movie shows when does a BOY become a MAN. The tussle between an over-protective father and a two-faced son is a real conflict that most of the boys can relate to.

Thank You to the whole team of Bomarillu for creating such a marvel.

15 years I've gone without realizing such a brilliant film has existed. But I'm glad I'm in the right age to watch this film.

It's shows Love is Magic. It heals everything.

Hasani character can make anyone fall in love. She is blessed and innocent.
