Koncham Istam Koncham Kastam - Movie Review

Here I sit down to write the review of this movie with Pradeep and Subba sitting on either sides, the one with whom I have watched the movie today afternoon at Fame Cinemas in Lido Mall.

The movie opens with Subramanyam(Nazar) trying to convince Geetha(Tammanna) for her higher studies in Hyderabad. Actually that’s where we walked into the theater after a slight delay in the food court. So there goes the heroine to Hyd staying with Gachi Bowli Diwakar(Brahmam) and studying in a college where Rajya Lakshmi(Ramya Krishna) is a professor. Ramya’s son Siddu(Siddharth) is a flirt like any other hero in half of the love stories. After initial aversion towards siddu, Geetha falls for him in no time.

It ain't easy to recollect the story of the first half. Probably because there isn’t much going on with respect to it. However, the whole half moves on so pleasantly with abundant humour sprinkled into it. At least for the first half, I have to deny that this is a serious one. Most of the scenes that involve Brahmam, Venu Madhav and Siddharth leaves the audience in splits. There are plenty of times that I laughed out loud to the frustration of friends sitting besides me.

The second half of the movie moves fine for a while but gets to test the patience as the movie progresses. It appeared to be dragged towards the end and the scenes that unite Siddu’s parents look far from convincing.

Over all there are many lovely scenes that are humorous. The cinematography deserves a pat. The whole movie is very colorful and a treat to the eyes. Prakash Raj as Siddu’s father is apt for the role while Ramya’s role as Siddu's mother wasn’t etched right. Siddharth and Tamanna excel in their roles. If not for the end that dragged, this would have been an awesome one.

Not easy to write when the one on the right(Pradeep) keeps criticizing every word and line that I write.
