The Review

Venkatesh- Trisha starrar Namo Venkatesa has nothing fresh to offer but it stands out as a routine entertainer with typical Sreenu Vaitkla’s comedy and Venkatesh’s family and action elements. The problem is the lack of the freshness in the story and the scenes. The scenes are typical Srenu Vaitla’s kind of scenes with out the punch in the comedy. The timing is completely missing in executing the scenes. Other major weakness is the songs. Except the exotic foreign locals the songs has nothing to offer. Heavy load of action sequences too didn’t fit much to this entertainer. The first half is completely disgusting with routine comedy sequences but sans comedy. The dragging second half some times tests the patience of the viewers. On the whole it’s just a below average kind film with nothing fresh to offer.

Synopsis

Venkata Ramana (Venkatesh) keeps postponing his marriage as he is waiting for his dream girl. Despite age catching on, he purses his dream. Venkata Ramana, who goes to Paris to perform a cultural event, sees Pooja (Trisha), who comes to Paris for having fun with friends and concludes that she is his dream girl. Pooja is the niece of Paris Prasad (Bramhanandam), who is an event organizer in Paris. Knowing that Venkata Ramana is in love with Pooja, Paris Prasad asks Pooja to pretend that she too loves him promising lot of fun to her and friends. Pooja’s trip finishes and she comes back to India asking Paris Prasad to tell everything to Venkata Ramana that she is not actually loving him. But immediately she is abducted by her factionist uncle (Mukhesh Rishi) and put her under house arrest. He wants her to get marry his son. She calls Paris Prasad and asks his help to get her out. Paris Prasad tells to Venkata Ramana that Pooja wants him to get release from the house arrest. The drama starts again. How will Venkata Ramana rescue her? Will she fall in love with him or not? Is all about the rest of the story.

Artistic Performances

It’s the character that Venkatesh playing for the past two decades. He carried away the role with ease. The role has all the typical styles of Venkatersh from a family man to action hero and a hero with victim touch. He came out with fine performance through out the film. does the role with ease as he has done such roles several times. Like always, he is at his best in comedy scenes. Trisha is good for her role and also looks glamorous especially in the songs. Brahmanandam brings the boredom with his repetitive comedy gimmicks. Among others Mukhesh Rishi, Subba Raju, Dharmavarapu and Kasi Vishwanath justified their roles.

Technical Performances

Another routine work from director Sreenu Vytla after Nagarjuna’s King. He might get way with the start cast and big production house. But it’s the time for him to change as Namo Venkatesa clearly shows his routine style hardly entertaining the audience. The comedy scenes completley lost the timing and the punch. The audience is hardly laughing. Besides that the screenplay has nothing but dragging and dragging with boring action and comedy scenes with no fun. The music is also below average. Except the Namo Venkatesa number nothing is impressive and the re recording also failed to bring the timing and the punch of the comedy scenes. Devi Sri failed to come up with appropriate music for this action entertainer. The cinematography is okay and so the editing. All other departments justified their roles.
