Committee Kurrollu starring all newcomers and directed by debutant Yadhu Vamsi is this week’s new release. The film follows the lives of youngsters in a small village in West Godavari district. Committee Kurrollu tells the tale of these youngsters and the turmoil they face amidst shifting political landscape and social issues.

Story:

A close-knit group of friends—Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), Surya (Yaswanth Pendyala), Subbu (Thrinadh Varma), William (Eshwar Rachiraju), Peddodu (Prasad Behara), and others are a closely knit group of friends living in Purushothapalli, West Godavari. An unexpected argument and some situations around them lead to a rift between them and impact the whole village. What sparked the clash among the friends that turned them bitter foes? Will they ever reconcile is what the movie follows.

Performances:

Sandeep Saroj, Thrinadh Varma, Yashwanth Pendyala, and Prasad Behara have a good screentime. Among all the fresh faces, they make the maximum impact. The biggest challenge when making a movie with so many newcomers is ensuring the audience connects to their issues and challenges while rejoicing in their victories. Director Yadu Vamsi has done a commendable job at ensuring the audience gets involved with the characters well. Sai Kumar and Goparaju Ramana being the only senior actors in the cast are dependable as ever.

Analysis:

Committee Kurrollu sheds light on issues that are relevant to all of us. The poison of discrimination and segregation is deeply rooted in our society and the film does a decent job of highlighting these issues through the friends turned foes concept. The writing, however, is the biggest issue, as several unnecessary scenes and speeches from people just prolong the conclusion. The film establishes the characters and showcases childhood nostalgia quite well. However, the second half feels a bit preachy and the dialogues and situations seem quite inorganic. Multiple subplots involving a dozen characters leave little scope for development and proper exploration.

Positives:

  • Core plot
  • First half
  • Emotional scenes

Negatives:

  • Preachy at times
  • The second half feels rushed
  • Too many subplots feel distracting

Verdict:

Committee Kurrollu is a great first attempt from the young team. Kudos to the makers for taking a serious issue for their new venture. The rawness of the cast is an advantage at times while works against the film as well. Overall Committee Kurrollu is a great watch especially if you’re someone who likes fresh cinema.
