– Murali Sharma as Pallavi’s father is apt.įirst Half Report: Ninnu Kori has an average first half with mild humor and predictable story so far. His comic timing and dialogues written for him are good.
– 30 years industry Prudhvi’s comedy works better in the second half. His previous villain character in Sarrinodu also helped here for a small twist during the pre-climax. Nani and Nivetha’s natural performances add lot of value to the sentimental yet genuine dialogues mixed with humor in-between. – Well written dialogues like “Life will give many chances to us, let’s give back a chance to life’ sounds very genuine on screen. Overall Ninnu Kori will appeal to the target audience. Both lead characters Nani and Nivetha Thomas breathed life into this love story. The sentiment and situational comedy work in the second half.
There is a movie called Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, do watch it.įinal Report: Ninnu Kori has a better second half compared to the first half. Dialogues are good, especially the one liners as part of conversations are neatly written. The cinematography helps in maintaining a feel. Music by Gopi Sunder is fine and serves the purpose. All principle cast get one scene at least to emote in the true sense. Aadi Pinisetty gets a scene and so does Murali Sharma. But the performances don’t end with just the lead pair. It is a rarity in Telugu cinema today and this alone, despite all the cliche, makes the movie a one time watch. There are many scenes where she is on par with the hero and both seems to be having a performance session together. She is a performer and the movie gives her ample scope to perform. Since the director is responsible for that, the debut is solid. Overall Ninnu Kori is a decent watch and it is all due to performances. The climax also owes completely to the actors involved. The credit is entirely on the actors to make one believe to the proceedings. So, in spite of the dramatic flair displayed by the actors, the content lacks the genuine connection. It gives an impression that it is force fitted into the narrative to arrive at the point and deliver the message. The melodrama that comes post the revelation is less organic and more contrived. It hits a crescendo with the ‘Christie’ twist. The one-sided portrayal of the problem is the reason for such a feeling.
The second half starts off interestingly but it soon turns silly. Pre-interval takes a surprising turn and interval is alright. It is those moments throughout the duration that makes us engaged as a viewer. Still, what makes them work is small moments that are filled with genuine humor. The movie begins well as it generates a curiosity but as it progresses and we get into the proceedings, the extreme routine element of the story is felt. So, is Ninnu Kori a perfect debut without any problem? Well, unfortunately it isn’t. He extracts the right performances and mounts the movie well for a newcomer. In the second half every third scene ends with a ‘performance’ moment from the star. The tag Natural Star perfectly fits for his act in the movie.
He is completely at ease and a natural in acting. He shows variation in the movie through subtle changes in the body language. What happens when Pallavi gets another such person in her life? Getting a second chance in love is what the film is all about. Uma (Nani) loves Pallavi (Nivetha Thomas) truly, madly and deeply.
