Desamuduru fame DVV Danaiah has now come out with a smooth love story with lover boy Siddharth as hero. The speciality of the film is that it has introduced popular child artiste Shamili as heroine and Anand Ranga as director. The debutant director has tried a serious love subject, which ends in a tragedy, making everyone think whether there are any such serious lovers these days.

Story:

Uday (Siddharth) is the son of a millionaire and he leads a lavish life. While celebrating New Year’s Day, he meets an orthodox girl called Sandhya (Shamili). He falls in love with her. How he struggles to get her love will form the story of the movie.

People had some expectations because it is the debut film for baby Shamili as heroin. One can say that its a feel good film without any novel point. The story line is bit similar to Maniratnam Geethanjali. Uday (sidhardh) enjoys his life like anything. He likes short and sweat movements. On the evening of new year he saw one girl named Sandya (Shamili). Sandya is his first love and she calls him Oye . . . some how uday settles at sandya house as a paying guest. He impressed sandya a lot on her birth day and she also starts loving him. But the same day uday came to know that she suffers from a deadly disease. He want to full fill all her wishes. She does not know that she had a disease. So what happened at the end is the story.

The Director (debut)

Coming to the director, this is the debut film for Anand Ranga, to pick some of the faults with new entries, I could not find the impression of intro scenes. did good work for only scenes but not able to fill the gaps and give the depth to the script. Some scenes left doubtful. We saw his good technique exactly at the interval... he adds rain to give depth feel. But surely if he gets a good script then he can be a very good director. Raja simhas dialogues are pretty normal. For this film the big plus point is music. Povadde prema, seharee are very good numbers, and the title song is also composed very well. Youvan sankar Rajas voice in Povadde prema song reminds his father. Overall Oye is a feel good film and you can watch it once.

Shamili (debut)

We all know that baby shamili is an award winning artist. But when it comes to this particular movie she dint have that much to perform. She is refreshing in a deglamorised role. She is very natural and pretty much apt for this particular character. She does not have any charm or glamour. She could have done well by losing some weight. But acting wise she looks pretty much comfortable and does her part very well. Siddharth did a fantastic job as usual. His costumes and hairstyle in this movie are very good. Sunils comedy dint generate any fun. After a long time Nepolian played a decent role. Ali and master Barath succeed in generating some good fun. Krishnudu played the friend role and he is very good in that particular role. Remaining characters or ok.

Mouth Talk:

what people said who liked this movie:

Siddhartha takes the cake in making the film Oye very interesting. The entire responsibility of the film is borne by him alone. His character is etched with different emotions. Chivalrous in the beginning, jovial in the middle, serious lover after that and a true lover, who wants to see a smile in his ladylove’s face. He emotes all the expressions perfectly. But his character goes sidelined in second half without his mark.

Athough the film Oye is a tragic love story, the director is able to make the the audiences sit tight in their seats till the end of the film. Comedy by Sunil, Tanikella Bharani and Krishnudu is rocking. Another comedy track with Ali and Master Bharat with a satire on real estate business also makes the funny bones of audiences tickle for some time.

Others Surekha Vani looked glamorous and neat. Tanikella is ok with some comedy. Sunil’s comedy episode is good in first half but goes eccentric in second half.

Music by Yuvan Shankar is very good They are good . The song
‘176 beach houselo….’ is impressive and catchy. And the expressions like ‘kannu veedi choopu poyenaa…’ are interesting and marvelous.

Cinematography is good. Editing is up to the mark. Dialogues are also up to the requirement. Direction has suffered ups and downs and the production values deserve a very good mention.

The subject is ok but the implementation part is mishandled. Director failed to maintain momentum in narration. He has shown lapdash execution in second half.

what people said who doesnt like this movie:

Shamili does not suit the character of traditional girl. Being a first timer, she has failed to be a perfect match to Siddhartha. Though the film has situational comedy, some scenes appear boring. Had the climax been not tragedy, the film would have been good and the director should have ended it with some kind of miracle and making the heroine alive to attract the audiences.

Remarks:

Though Siddhartha has given great performance all through the film, the tragic end of the film plays the spoilsport. The commercial success of the film faces a drawback with the sad ending of the movie.


Music Review:

Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is a highlight of the movie. Most of the songs are rocking and would impress the present generation youth. Camera work is another highlight of the movie. The cinematographer is able to capture the beauty of different locales lively on the celluloid.

Oy Oy - Siddharth
Lyricist: Chandrabose
Oy Oy’ the title number sung by hero Siddharth is sure to top the charts. The song is peppy and enjoyable.

Saradaga - Karthik, Sunidhi Chauhan
Lyricist: Anant Sriram
The tune of ‘Saradaga’ by Sunidhi Chauhan and Karthik is quite familiar;however the packaging and presentation of the song offers it a refreshing feel.


Watiting For You - Kay Kay
Lyricist: Vanamali
The flow and feel in KK’s ‘Waiting for you’ is a pure treat for melody-lovers.

Anukoledenadu - Shreya Ghoshal
Lyricist: Vanamali
One can easily connect with Shreya Goshal’s voice in the album's opening number ‘Anukoledenadu’. The song is filled with a happy emotion and Shreya’s full-throated singing brings about the effect fully.

Povaodhe Prema - Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyricist: Vanamali
‘Povodhe Prema’ is a soft and slow-moving number in Yuvan’s voice. Even for those who are not familiar with the language, the song makes an impact because of Yuvan’s voice and the presence of emotional music.

Seheri - Toshi, Priya
Lyricist: Surendra Krishna, Krishna Chaitanya
‘Seheri’ a duet by Toshi and Priya is a completely westernised number. The song has rap inclusions and a strong and bold rhythm in its background.
