NTR has been on a success streak with average or Superhits consistently Temper, Nannaku Prematho, Janatha Garage, Jai Lava Kusha. Trivikram just had a jolt in the form of "Agnyaathavasi" and is looking to back to gain back his reputation. This rare combo created interest in everyone.
Story -
Veera Raghava Reddy had to take up violence due to faction feuds in their villages. However, aftermath of this violence costs lot of lives and tears and his grandmother creates an awareness in him to stop violence and he leaves hometown to bring peace. Then he meets Aravinda who is studying on "Losses of Factionism" and Raghava gets attracted to her. How he brought peace in the village with the inputs from Aravinda forms rest of the story.
Performances -
NTR as usual was terrific in his role conveying all emotions perfectly. He was good in Action sequences, Emotional scenes, heroic scenes. Pooja Hegde though present in the major part of the movie isn't a pivotal role of the movie. Title of Aravinda Sametha is nowhere justified or logical. She looks cute and her smile is awesome, but that's it. Jagapathi Babu gave a memorable performance as it has lot of physical and mental stress and he has done justice to the role. Sunil is neither a comedian nor a character artist, felt he was wasted in the role. Entire story is narrated from Sunil's version. Eesha Rebba role was unnecessary. Supriya Pathak, Naveen Chandra, Naresh, Srinivas Reddy, Devayani, Nagababu, Sithara, Eeswari Rao, Brahmaji, Rao Ramesh, Shubalekha Sudhakar were okay in their roles.
Technicians -
Music is a huge let down. Thaman hasn't done anything great. Peniviti song was good, Anaganaga song was okay. Remaining songs were disasters. Background score is also very poor as it doesn't elevate the scenes where required. Agnyaathavasi songs were far better than this and don't understand what difference Thaman created by replacing Anirudh. Cinematography and Art work is good. Action sequences are done effectively and are not overboard. Trivikram has failed both as a writer and director. Story is not at all new and narration was not engaging even. Movie looks like a rehash of Mirchi, Dammu. It is not that comedy is mandatory for a movie to be engaging. But the emotions should connect the audience and narration should be gripping for generating interest, which didn't happen. Most part of the movie is boring except for a few episodes. Relationship between lead pair is not established properly and is not convincing at all. Some dialogues are illogical and confusing also. Guruji (Trivikram) is not yet back and if this is the form he's going to continue, days are not far that he would join the school of Krishna Vamsi, Sreenu Vaitla.
Positives -
First 20 minutes
Warning scene over phone from Rao Ramesh office
NTR and Jagapathi Babu performances
Negatives -
Uneven Screenplay and dialogues
Illogical sequences
Boring narration
Analysis -
When a rare combo of NTR and Trivikram happens, audience expect a memorable ride which doesn't happen with Aravinda Sametha. Idea was good but execution fell flat and doesn't seem heading in right direction. Could have been far far better if it was Old Trivikram, hope he finds his magic wand soon. NTR also couldn't save it.
Rating - 2.5/5 (Won't recommend to watch).
All reviews are 3 and above, don't understand why. Either I'm wrong or they are convinced. But I didn't enjoy this movie, so it's my personal opinion. Similar thing happened with Aagadu also. Reviews were good and movie was horrible.
