Tanu Nenu Review, What’s Behind:
As a film maker Ram Mohan P’s taste to offer decent family entertainers
is pretty much acknowledged with ‘Ashta Chemma, Golconda High School’
and ‘Uyyala Jampala.’ Now, he is here introducing director Sobhan’s son
Santosh Sobhan as hero with Avika Gor as heroine. Ram Mohan also turned a
director with this romantic film. Let us see, are there any surprises
in this ‘Tanu Nenu’ review.
Tanu Nenu Story:
Kiran (Santosh Sobhan) working for a BPO develops hatred towards the
USA and life style of NRIs living there. He falls in love with Keerthi
(Avika Gor) through a common friend and they two gel well to express
their love for each other. As times go happily, Kiran knows that
Keerthi’s father Sarveshwara Rao (Ravi Babu) is interested to get her
daughter married only to an NRI and that too from the USA. Meanwhile,
Kiran’s friend from the USA also eyes on Keerthi. How Kiran tackled the
entire scenario? What is his pitiful flashback with parents living in
America?
Tanu Nenu Artists and Technicians:
As a producer Ram Mohan is known for his peculiar family and clean
entertainment flavor. So, he might have selected Sai Sukumar’s story and
script because of simplicity and sweetness in it. There is nothing like
highs and lows in this screenplay. Story moves at its own pace without
big conflicts in narration. Dialogues written by Sai Sukumar are of
realistic sense. Into direction, Ram Mohan being a debutant handled the
overall theme not so bad. However, he failed to bring the strong
emotional connectivity between characters which made the show artificial
at times. His best comes in the form of extracting wonderful output
from young artists. Cinematography is fine presenting the scenes in a
bright focus. Marthand K Venkatesh’s editing should have been little
more effective in chopping those unnecessary portions in second half.
Sunny MR’s music is a cool cucumber. He even does a wonderful job in
background score. Production values from Suresh Babu in association with
Viacom 18, Sunshine Cinema are just ok.
On to performances, Santosh Sobhan is
the real life and soul. Debuting as a hero, there will be some sort of
pressure on young hearts but Santosh impressed one and all with lot of
openness. His body language stood over-excited and Santosh appeared like
imitating Avasarala Srinivas, Nani and Mahesh Babu contextually. Still,
he had a free flowing dialogue delivery with nice voice modulations
which helped to show his ease in comic timing. A proper planning can
affirm his position as a hero for sure. Avika Gor as usual done her part
effortlessly and her characterization is not as athletic as Santosh for
sure. Both of together oozed freshness in chemistry. Ravi Babu’s role
is so very brief and lines written on him are funny. Santosh friends’
batch and Kireeti as BPO head along with Sathya Krishnan as hero’s
mother well managed.
Tanu Nenu Rating Analysis:
At a time when young generation is running to find a better life in the
USA, the core point in story revolving around struggle of a young guy
between love and his aversion for the USA really sounds logical. Santosh
Sobhan’s histrionics matched well with the basic concept which actually
resulted in appetizing first half. Episodes between Santosh, Avika and
friend from the USA or romantic situations between lead pair or
restaurant, office scenes were entertaining. Second half lets down all
our commotion with mindless scenes like hero writing Sai Koti leading to
Ravi Babu death and the clash later on is so immaturely handled. Second
half seriously lacks seriousness and sensibility. Well, the final
content again finds some rationality by the time we reach pre-climax and
drama, sentiment filled with feel good factor leading to a happy ending
is acceptable. Those directors who can balance the energy and passion
in Santosh, he is all eligible as a promising prospect.
All in all, ‘Tanu Nenu’ is not as
entreating as Ram Mohan’s earlier films yet the movie is worth-a-watch
for Santosh Sobhan’s debut as a hero and for bits-n-pieces good writing,
sensible comedy from Sai Sukumar and above all, clean and neat
youthful, family entertainment offered. Finally, Cinejosh rates ‘Tanu
Nenu’ with 2.75 stars.
Tanu Nenu Verdict: Watch It For Santosh Sobhan.
Tanu Nenu Rating: 2.75/5.0
