Bellamkonda Ganesh has got great padding for his debut project- Swathimuthyam. His father and senior producer Bellamkonda Suresh has left no stone unturned to ensure his younger son gets the best possible debut. But, the real test is passed when the audience gives thumbs up. Does Swathimuthyam have enough to sustain the force of Godfather on one side and The Ghost on the other? Let’s find out.
Story: Balamurali Krishna (Bellamkonda Ganesh) is a simple young man with routine life. His parents decide to get him married and fix his match with Bhagyalakshmi (Varsha Bollamma). While everything is going smooth and the young couple is all excited for their wedding, all hell breaks loose with an unexpected twist in the form of surrogacy. Can Bala come out of this blow? How he goes about setting things right is what the movie follows.
Performances: Ganesh has chosen a good movie for his debut and he does a decent job as the boy next door. While he looks slightly stoic in some scenes, he manages just well throughout the movie. Varsha Bollamma has got a meaty role and is improving with every movie. Her expressions and measured performance are one of the biggest attractions of the film. The rest of the cast of Vennela Kishore, Rao Ramesh, and Naresh are dependable as ever. Rao Ramesh in particular is hilarious delivering superb one-liners and being equally great in emotional moments. Mahati Swara Sagar’s BGM is another big plus and adds great value to the proceedings.
Analysis: Swathimuthyam is a fun comedy entertainer with a generous dose of emotions. Credit goes to Lakshman Krishna- the director for handling the issue of surrogacy in a mature way. The film definitely has got a great potential to hold strong for the festive season and with good production values and pleasing visuals, it’s a good end product made by a young cast and crew.
