Maryada Ramanna Movie Review
He does succeed in his experiment and also raises the bar of the genre by riding on situational comedy and strictly avoids slapstick humour. After designing larger-than-life roles for superstars like NTR, Ram Charan and Ravi Teja, the young filmmaker sketches a self-piteous role for comedian-turned-hero Sunil to have audience in splits. Even the backdrop of Rayalaseema factionism tightens up the tale of a fearful lad who unknowingly steps into his enemies den. With the love track between Sunil and Saloni failing to take-off, the screenplay is loaded with protagonist's attempt to escape from his captors and that becomes tad repetitive. Interestingly, the director who relied on slaptick comedy in his star-centric movies, comes of age with this laugh-riot by stitching the comedy scenes around true-to-life situations- an ill-fated youngster, decrepit cycle and finally stepping into a death trap. However, the dichotomy of factionist family who believed in the adage of athidi devo bava but kill the guest once he steps of their threshold, lacks conviction.
Youngster Sunil rides on his decrepit bicycle to transport goods but loses the job since he delivers late every time. The depressed guy gets a courier from an MRO of the Rayalaseema region, stating that their 5-acre property is restored and he can claim it now. On the way, he befriends a pretty girl Saloni and lands up in the Rayalaseema region. He approaches a feudal lord (Nagineedu) to help him in selling his land but he gets trapped in his house, since they come to know that he is the son of the man who killed the feudal lord’s brother.
Comedian Sunil, who turned hero with Andalaramudu few years ago this time returns with another roaring comic flick and puts in a restrained performance. Saloni has nothing much to do, while Nagineedu, Brahmaji and Supreet do justice to their roles. However, a well-designed set, great cinematography and mellifluous tunes by Keeravani takes this comic caper to a different plane.
