Ninnu Kori (2017):
Natural star Nani, is on an all time career high and is back with a love entertainer called Ninnu Kori. Since the launch, this movie has created huge interest and the songs and teasers have further accelerated the expectations.Even Nani-Nivetha pair attracted youth a lot.So how is the movie.Did Nani score his 7th consecutive hit?
Plot:
Uma(Nani) is a PHD student in Vizag who falls in love with Pallavi(Nivetha Thomas). As time passes by, Pallavi too accepts Uma's love and them as a mature couple decide to only marry each other when Uma settles down in his career.But the twist in the tale arises when Pallavi's dad(Murali Sharma) suddenly fixes Pallavi's wedding with Arun(Aadi). Left with no choice, both Uma and Pallavi are forced to break up and Pallavi marries Arun.In present time, Pallavi finds that Uma is not able to forget her and has become alcoholic. To change him, she invites him to stay in her home and watch her blissful life.
Plus Points:
1)Performances: With every film of his, Nani is growing by leaps and bounds. Ninnu Kori showcases the natural star in full swing as he gives a settled performance. He is full of fun as a lover boy and evokes superb emotions during the second half. You get to experience another side of Nani, who unlike his earlier movies, leaves you teary-eyed, especially in the second half.Nivetha Thomas also gives a spellbinding performance as Pallavi.Her chemistry with Nani is quite good and gives super depth to the proceedings. Aadi is also good in his supporting role. He has equal importance in the film and showcases wonderful maturity throughout the film.
2)Climax: The highlight of the movie is when Aadhi Pinishetty breaks down in climax. The final sequences are handled in a matured manner by the new director Shiva Nirvana.Movie could have been more refreshing in Aadi's point of view.
3)Music: The music enhances the narration and goes with the flow of scenes. Tracks like 'Adiga Adiga' and 'Unnatunundi Gunde Vanda Kottukunde' will stay with you.
4)Direction: Coming to the director Shiva Nirvana, he makes an impressive debut. The way he has handled the emotions throughout the film is pretty interesting. His screenplay may be clichéd but still he impressed with his sensible direction.
Minus Points:
1)Cliched Plot: "Ninnu Kori" is not a triangle love story though it revolves around three characters - a woman and two guys which itself is so outdated.Especially first half is so clichéd.
So,Ninnu Kori is a decent love story with brilliant performances and tear-jerky climax.
My rating 6.75/10
