There is no panduga (a festival/ a celebration) in this Prathi Roju Pandage (meaning every day is a celebration).
On the contrary, it is slow, preachy with a very thin story line stretched to two and half hours.
It is for people who like Baghban. Got the drift, I guess.
The story is about Sathayaraj who, diagnosed with lung cancer, is given five weeks to survive.
He lives in Rajahmundry leading a happily retired life after having ensured the successful future of his four children. Three of them are abroad and are busily engaged with their projects, deliverables, deadlines. They all come to a mutual agreement that they can only be in India for the last two weeks of their father’s life and a total of four weeks which included two weeks to perform the last rites. Sai Dhram Tej, our hero, is the son of the eldest son, Rao Ramesh, who could not be as calculative and lands in India at once.
He urges his grandfather to celebrate his last few days and do all that he had ever set his heart on. But the grandfather seemed to be content in his life already…not the one to pine for his missing children and feel neglected. There’s very little value that Sai Dharam Tej adds to his grandfather’s life.
The movie has so many characters coming and going that you don’t really know who is who after a while…and frankly you stop caring after a point….
The heroine, Rashi Khanna looks beautiful and portrayed as a dumb head who is obsessed about tik-tok videos. So, you get an ideas about her contribution to the story.
Two people who do well are Ajay and Satyam Rajesh who play the comic villains.
Similar to Venky Mama, this movie stands on the shoulders of veterans like Sathyaraj and Rao Ramesh.
Rao Ramesh has outdone himself. The movie can be watched for him alone…
What the director forgets is that its nearly 18 years since Baghban. Times have changed. People are financially stronger. Parents have learned to live without depending on children and vice-versa. We have drawn our own lives in compliance with our needs that seldom concur. Yes, the loneliness persists but you don’t need someone to come redeem your life.
I expected to see some great family bonding and a comic relief but what I ended with was an unnecessary sermon about how one must take care of one’s parents.
Went with great expectations after seeing the trailers but just a 2/5 experience for me. This movie will make sense more to people who are still financially dependent on each other as a family and therefore need each other in their lives
A VenkyMama for me anytime over this if one must experience the 90s kind of movies.
