Bottom Line:SFS is an opportunity wasted.
Story
Subramanyam for Sale is a tale of family, love and responsibility, the
story is about moneymaker Subramanyam (Sai Dharam Tej). He is the
beloved son of (Naresh) and goes to any extent to earn few dollars to
clear his debts. On the other hand, Seeta (Regina)’s father (Suman
Talwar) wants to get her married to a relative much against her will.
And she runs away from home, with the help of Biyyum Bucchi (Rao
Ramesh). That’s when Subramanyam meets up with Seeta (Regina) and helps
to get over her crisis in America. Soon after that Geeta (Tejeswini)
forces Seeta to return back home for her marriage and she asks
Subrahmanyam to feign as her husband and go to her place. That’s when
Subrahmanyam pens to solve family problem of Seeta, instead he sees that
there are more issues to be settled, thanks to NRI Rajashekahar (Naga
Babu). In this situation, his life takes a forceful turn as Govind
(Ajay) associates start following him. In these situations, one can
easily predict the outcome, when the boy is smothered between two
families.
Star Performance
The performance of the actor’s ingeminates the
fact the story is a rehash of several commercial films that have come
before. I know it’s a bit too early, but Sai Dharam Tej gets “Supreme
Hero” tag line with this film. He delivered an energetic performance
through SFS. He not only succeeds in impressing fans with his acting,
dance moves, but also does a good job in imitating Pawan Kalyan and
Chiranjeevi, though sometimes things go overboard. It high time, he
needs to work on his emotions in dramatic sequences. With a demanding
role that requires her to look pretty and tough at the same time, Regina
has a great challenge at her hands, but she manages it fine. And she
looked damn pretty in “Naalo Em Jarigindo” song. Tejaswini looked just
about okay. Suman Talwar and Naga Babu have done a decent job. Rao
Ramesh looked comfortable in an extended SVSC role with a pinch of
vindictive emotions. Adah Sharma is mediocre in her extended cameo. Fish
venkat and Brahmanandam have limited roles to play and they perform it
fine as well. Ajay is wasted in a short role.
Techinical Team
The basic plot of Subramanyam For Sale seems like
a ragbag of elements from other commercial films like Brundavanam,
Parugu, Yamadonga, Bavagaru Bagunnara, MIrapakaay – with slow pacing and
a throwback to the 1990’s style of buildup. The characterization of Sai
Dharam Tej goes over the top in one scene and get completely matured in
the next. There has been a definite attempt to mould the film with all
the necessary ingredients in the format of a conventional family drama’s
to cater family audience. The script by Ramesh Reddy, Satish Vegesna
goes on almost similar lines as Dil Raju’s family entertainer
Brindavanam. Harish Shankar, who has directed couple of finely crafted
films in the past seems have opted for a rather convenient short cut to
success. Though he has not been able to do some smart repairs on Ramesh
and Satish’s shacky script. Here are the situations, characterizations
and the performances all that look hokey to the hilt. It seems like
there was a desperate attempt to give certain balance to the film, but
they just didn’t know how to do it in a gripping way. The climax
disappoints big time over here.
Music director Mickey J
Meyer have created a good sound track while choreographers have
succeeded in bringing out promising performances from the actors with
their moves. C Ram Prasad doubles the cinematic experience with his
beautiful cinematography. Editing by Gautham Raju could have been lot
better. Many portions needed trimming and a better editing style would
have helped the pace in the film. Dialogues work in parts in the movie,
especially lines like “Abbadaniki Thodu Kavali, Nijaki Needa Kuda
AVasaram Ledu”, “Nenu Dabbu kosam Deegipotha Deegijariponu”, Paruvu
Gurinchi Alochinchani Pilla eppudain Baruve, “Bottle Moyyali annipinche
Baruvu, Mandhu thaagali anipinche baadyatha” etc stay with you for a
while. The interval highway fight sequence is pretty promising.
Production Values of “Sri Venkateswara Films” are good.
Analysis
What is the safest way to score a box office hit
in Telugu? Simple hire a decent star and get to remold some commercial
mass formula – larger than life role, forced comedy, punchlines every
now and then, some romantic numbers and at least 3 fight sequences …
This magic formula works once again in Subramanyam for sale, a film
strictly for fans. However if you’re looking forward to some meaningful
and innovative entertainment, skip this one and you loose nothing.
Overall, SFS is an oldest wine in a new bottle.
