Prem Kumar is heartbroken as after wards also he can not marry as all his matches are cancelled. He then becomes a wedding detective and makes money with dealing with the couples who have affairs and become successful. He starts an office that will spoil the marriage and when his business seems to run well, Nethra (Rashi Singh), the girl who eloped without marrying him, interrupts their business. What happened to their relationship? Who is Angana (Ruchitha Sadhineni) and what is her connection with Prem and Nethra? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.
Analysis: The Telugu audiences will watch any film be it small or big it a film is made with a good concept is good and is narrated engagingly. New film Prem Kumar tried to entertain the audiences in the same way, but it is made with a fragile story at a time when many concept films are coming up. The story of the film is simple, and it needed a proper blend of romance and humor.
However, the narrative failed to do so. The concept of hero using the affairs and making money is interesting but it was dealt with silly scenes. Also, the romance track between Prem and Nethra was not much attractive. Angana character’s introduction looks to make the things interesting but soon the film again drops and gets predictable. The final 30 minutes are stretched out with predictable moments.
Performances: Santhosh Sobhan looked a bit odd in. comedy scenes, but he was good in the emotional scenes. Raashi Singh had done well, while Ruchita Sadineni impressed with her performance. Krishna Teja as hero’s friend Sunder Lingam and Sudarshan as Daddy provided a few laughs. Chaitanya Krishna did not impress in the role of Roshan.
Plus Points:
- Few Fun Moments
Minus Points:
- Weak Story
- Boring Narration
- Bad Comedy
Verdict:
Overall Director Abhishek Maharshi has tried to make Prem Kumar film as a romantic entertainer with situational humor and though his idea was good, the comedy did not work at all making the film a tedious watch.
