Story: Ramulu (Naresh) is an innocent but good person who is always there to help his near and dear. On the other hand, Srinivas (Rahul Ramakrishna), is a young man who lives in front of Ramulu’s house, and he is in a relationship with his daughter Sandhya (Navya Swamy), unbeknownst to Ramulu. One fine day, a costly jewelry piece goes missing from Ramulu’s home, which creates issues in the family. Who is the culprit behind this robbery and how Ramulu finds out the truth is what forms the rest of the story.
Analysis: Following the trend of Telangana backdrop movies, Intinti Ramayanam has been released today. Director Suresh Naredla tried to narrate the film in a simple manner. He showed how the people who believe as our family behave when the situations are not good. The first half is very much in a fun zone as many characters are introduced and established. While the fun moments make the film a passable one until the midpoint, the second half gives a boring treat.
The scenes showing the doubts arising within the family do not engage as some scenes look repetitive while some are dragged without any reason. For example, the episode of Bitthiri Satthi was totally unnecessary and should have been chopped off. At the pre climax, the proceedings get a bit serious with a few emotional scenes having an impact. However, the climax episode literally looks like a spoof and the movie ends on an unsatisfying note. The intention of director Suresh Naredla was genuine, but the execution did not pass above the ordinary level.
Performances: Naresh was perfect as Ramulu and gave a natural performance. Rahul Ramakrishna, Navya Swamy, Anji Mama, Gangavva, and Surabhi Prabhavathi were appropriate.
Plus Points:
- Naresh’s Performance
- Comedy in first half
- Pre-Climax
Minus Points:
- Lag in the second half
- Reiterative Scenes
- Unintentionally funny climax
Verdict: Overall, Intinti Ramayanam is a subpar village drama. Average comedy and decent performances work well for the movie. But the necessary drama is missing in the crucial moments, and the lag in the second half works against it. The movie doesn’t have enough substance for a theatrical release and is better suited for OTT viewing.
