1 Nenokkadine Movie
Review
Mahesh Babu and Sukumar combination itself
has raised so many expectations on 1
Nenokkadine. This film being produced by
Dookudu producers and touted to be the
biggest budget film in Tollywood history has
multiplied the hype. The film is finally out in
theaters after being in the production stage for
around two years. Is 1 Nenokkadine the film
that lives up to the hype?
What is it about?
Gautham (Mahesh) is a rock star, who suffers
from a psychological problem. He has a
troubled childhood and the images of that
haunt him all the time. He is aware that three
people have killed his parents and he gets
nightmares about them chasing him and
killing. Gautham believes that something has
happened to his family and starts to chase
those people.
Performances:
Mahesh Babu has given one of his career best
performances in this film. He is a wonderful
actor and Sukumar tapped his acting abilities
to the maximum in this movie. Mahesh Babu
excels in emotional and entertaining scenes.
Interval scene is an example for how good an
actor he is. The intensity he brings in is
amazing. He is definitely the high point of this
film. He has done some dances that will
please his fans. There is no six pack scene,
but he did go shirtless and appeared with
bare back in a shower scene.
Kriti Sanon is alright as an actress. But her
character irritates in the first half. Goa episode
tortures on the heroine front. Nasser is good
and Kelli Dorjee is usual. Pradeep Rawat is
standard and Posani Krishna Murali is alright.
There is an item song on Sophie Chowdary
and it is not up to the expectations.
Technicalities:
1 is a technically well made film. It has superb
cinematography and top notch visuals. We
don't get to see these kind of visuals in Telugu
films often. Devi Sri Prasad scored with the
background score. His songs are just average.
We expect more from the combination of DSP
and Sukumar. Editing is alright about the
basics. But the film lags on and on and drags
for almost three hours. Wonder what the
editor was doing? Production values are rich
and it requires guts for any makers to spend
so much money on a film that doesn't have
any commercial elements.
Sukumar is one director that makes movies
with out of box ideas and novel themes. He
doesn't try to do regular mass masala movies
and always comes up with something new.
Even 1 Nenokkadine has a very unique plot,
but he failed to execute it well. He couldn't
blend the action and the psychological angle
of the hero in a proper way and the movie end
up as a torture to the audience.
Analysis:
The protagonist chasing his unknown past is
a good theme that could have been dealt in
commercial format. Instead Sukumar opted to
deal it in a different way, something that
Tamil directors do. But except for few brilliant
shots and intelligent scenes, Sukumar couldn't
do justice to the script and characterization.
First half doesn't move at all. Entire Goa
episode is a complete waste and bores you to
the core. Nothing happens until the interval
point and things get suddenly interesting by
that time. Interval scene is conceived well and
we can see the stamp of Sukumar all over it.
Mahesh simply rocked it.
We expect the film to move at a faster pace
after the break. But once again the confused
screenplay starts to confuse the viewers and
moves at a snail's pace. At one point the film
ends, but the director somehow manages to
drag it for another half hour. Those twists
didn't work and the chases and action
episodes just tests your patience.
Mahesh Babu's brilliant performance is the
only saving grace for this film. He has put in
heart and soul in to the character and gave
everything to it. But director Sukumar got it
completely wrong and 1 ends up as an
experiment that went horribly wrong.
Verdict: 1 Nenokkadine - Even Mahesh Babu
couldn't save this!
