Synopsis:
Life is Beautiful is the story of widow (Amala) and her three children. A tragic incident in her life forces her to send her children Srinu (Abhijith) and his sisters Sathya(Rashmi) and Chinni to relative’s house. They soon become thick friends with Abhi (Kaushik) and Nagraj (Sudhakar) and go about their daily life, experiencing small joys.
Youngsters of the B phase block have a long standing rivalry with the arrogant rich kids of the Gold Phase of the Sunshine Colony.. And the rest of the story is the changes that took place in their lives (Including hero) after they come to the colony. There is also three love stories which bloom there and what happens rest forms the actual story.
Performances:
Amala Akkineni is simply superb in the role of a widow who fights destiny. She looked gorgeous in the opening of the film, and delivered classy performance during the dying moments.Shriya gets a good role but acting with all the young ones made her look older. Anjala Jhaveri gets a next door aunty character on whom people go mad. A very little role.
All the new comers Abhijith, Sudhakar, Kaushik, Shagun and Zara delivered a decent performance and added to the fresh feel needed for the movie.The comedy rendered by Nagaraju (Sudhakar) in Telangana slang was one of the major highlights.
Analysis:
The first half of the movie is a jolly ride. And the problem is with the never ending second half with less lighter moments but yes there are some excellent sentimental scenes more particularly towards the climax. It is unpardonably long and quite a lot could have been chopped off on the editing table. Narration tends to drop off to dangerously boring levels at a number of junctures in the film. Sekhar Kammula’s brilliance is seen in many scenes but they are badly knitted such that the feel of the movie is not carried.
Plus Points: casting, music, direction, cinematography
Minus Points: Screenplay, length of the movie
Final Say:
The length of the scenes and erroneous screen play will hamper the flow of the film. A center crowds may take to the theaters because of Sekhar Kammula’s brand name, but B and C center crowds will find it tough to appreciate the movie. However, for me, the movie was made with a honest intent to touch the hearts of people who are struck with monotonous busy lives. One time watch!

‘Kalki’ Producer makes A Public Appeal! Will It Backfire?
May 11, 2024
Film industry folks usually don’t make public announcements regarding their political affiliations as a lot of money is involved. They don’t want their personal interests to meddle in their business. This is why many big names try to take a neutral stance even if they support a particular party. They don’t make it quite obvious. But senior producer Ashwini Dutt took a daring step and it is worrying the fans of Prabhas.
Ashwini Dutt Chalasani has been a Telugu Desam Party supported for a long time. He even made strong comments when Chandra Babu Naidu was arrested a few months back. Now, he openly stated his allegiance to TDP before the state elections. He said that Nara Chandra Babu Naidu’s victory is for the future of students, for the employment in future and development of the state along with the self-respect of the Telugu people.
These comments by ‘Mahanati’ producer went viral and Prabhas’ fans are worried about their hero’s film now. We have seen how YSRCP treats films of people who spoke against them. A lot of Pawan Kalyan’s movies faced troubles ahead of their release like stopping benefit shows, reducing ticket rates and others. ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is made on a grand budget by Ahswini Dutt. Considering that the movie is being made on a 500 crore budget, the ticket prizes should definitely be hiked. The movie is expected to release on 27th June and they predict that things will be quite bad if YSRCP comes back to power. But Ashwini Dutt has been open supporter of TDP for a long time and the people in power also will try to be professional immediately after the elections. What do you think?
