Tharun Bhascker Scores and how!
Tharun Bhascker Daassyam, almost a year and half ago, this name was trending in the film fraternity, especially in TFI and do you know why? That's because, one of the most acclaimed short films of recent times 'Sainma' debuted online at that time and later got released on YouTube after making enough fortune. And that film is this man Bhascker's brain child. Well, you might wonder why I'm stressing so much on his short 'Sainma' rather than talking about 'Pellichupulu', that's because the 20 odd minutes you spend watching 'Sainma' speaks volumes about this mans talent and believe me, you will never regret watching it. Coming to the current topic, the flick's based or precisely developed from Bhascker's previously directed, another well acclaimed short 'Anukokunda'. The film is a coming of age comedy-drama and the story is about Chitra and Prashanth who meet for the first time in a pellichupulu and eventually how they travel along with each other is what that follows. That's it, simple right? No, hold on. There are a lot of twists and turns in this simple story line, thanks to the well written screenplay. The way in which the first half runs is too damn good. It just flows and you won't even realise its almost time for a break. Though the story gets a lil predictable in the second half, it still manages to keep audience intact with the flow. The characters and the characterizations in the film are so near to reality that one can easily relate to them. And the dialogues are one of the biggest assets to the film, simple and real. The actors Vijay Devarakonda and Ritu Varma were competent to show there skills and make their presence felt. They did a 100% justice to their characters, commendable performances. And there is this character named 'Kaushik' played by Priyadarshi, man o man, what a gem of dialogue delivery he has! Made the whole theatre erupt in laughter for more than 10 times I guess, brilliant acting. Rest of the cast did their part well. Coming to the technical side, editing was neat. Cinematography was good. Music, scored by Vivek Sagar was too good and apt at many situations. Very hardly does one see The Hindu review a movie and call it 'A Gem'. What more do you want? Just go and grab a ticket, this one's a sure shot hit.

Pelli Choopulu is one of the most refreshing n naturally crafted romantic comedy with best performances,music and direction.A Must Watch one...
Pelli Choopulu (2016): Its been such a long time since I watched such a refreshing movie like Pell Choopulu.In recent times,most of the movies are turning out to be a disappointing ventures.This week out of Jakkanna and Pelli Choopulu,I opted for Pelli Choopulu because I wanted to avoid Jakkanna.I had good vibes on this movie after watching the trailer but didn't expect much out of it.But to my surprise this is movie is awesome.
Plot: Prashanth (Vijay) is aimless in life. His father arranges a pelli choopulu for him and he agrees to meet Chitra (Ritu). On the day of the pelli choopulu, Prashanth, Chitra and a small boy are stranded in a room where they were asked to talk to each other. Thanks to the door that gets jammed, Prashanth and Chitra talk about each other. Chitra tells Prashanth that she is not ready for marriage and due to her dad's pressure she agreed to this.As the conversation progresses the duo realize that their thoughts have a lot in common. But a small twist arise which makes their ways apart but they again meet because of some circumstances.What happened to their lives and did they achieve their goals forms rest of the story.
Plus Points: 1)Screenplay and Direction: Pelli Choopulu has one of the most refreshing entertaining screenplay in recent times.It is so natural that we can easily relate to the scenes and dialogues in this movie.We never get bored at any point of the movie.A smile always lies on our face until this movie ends,even after that too......Director Tarun Bhasker really impressed us a lot.His work is commendable and we can truly await for his next projects.He is a real classy gen for Tollywood.
2)Performances: This movie has most natural performances of this year.Every actor gave their 100% percent output which really helped a lot.Out of them Ritu Varma is such a beauty of expressions and she is the major highlight of the movie.Vijay Sai perfectly apted for that role and his buddies,especially Priyadarshi is hilarious with his one liners in Telangana slang.He did the most refreshing comedy in recent times.
3)Music: Music helped a lot to elevate the scenes.Its so pleasant and songs are very good.Aanandamayenu is the best of the album.
4)Cinematography. This movie has the camera work similar to short films but really a appreciable job.It helped to give movie a natural look
Minus Points: 1)Ordinary story line: Movie's story is just like regular romantic comedy but its nothing to worry about as it has wonderful screenplay.

A laugh riot that's realistic and well put.
A laugh riot that's realistic and well put.
After a long time, I enjoyed a Telugu Film and felt happy after coming out of the theater and also watch it another time. Last time I had such a feeling for a Telugu Film was for "Mithunam" and it was four years ago.
The good thing is that this film does not have any dances, there are no fights, there are no melodramatic dialogues. Though the sentimental part drags the movie, the humour overtook the drag and added a pull. It's the fun I took back home and was happy with the feeling this movie gave.
The protagonists were new for me and of all the characters I liked the character of "Kaushik". It is played by "Priyadarshi". Of course, the film belongs to Ritu Varma as "Chitra" who reminded of "Roopa" in Anand (Anand is a 2004 film).
It's refreshing to see a new director make a movie that's terrific in content (the writing, narration) and make the actors do an excellent job. Kudos to Tharun Bhascker. He has a long way to go if he sticks to non-commercial films and believes that content is above all else.
The cinematography and editing are two departments which impressed me. The camera was invisible, as there are no specific long shots. The whole movie is shot in a straightforward and realistic way which is a huge bonus. From locations to interiors decors it was all well put and also colorful at the same time. There was life all through the film and hardly there was any dull visual. Also, the film was fluid with very few dull moments (dull moments were mostly in the sentimental last half hour). The cuts done were nice; there were no jump cuts and it is simply put. So, Telugu Film Industry can look forward to Nagesh Banell the cinematographer and Ravi Teja Girijala the editor. These are two good finds from the film.
I was impressed by the use of music too. Taking the budget constraints into account Music is a commendable job done by Vivek Sagar. I loved the usage of the song "Raalu Raaga Poolamaala." Also, I must appreciate a huge fact this film is done in Sync Sound. That is there is no dubbing used; a terrific challenge is handled well and the results are seen in the movie.
I am not putting the story or any dialogues out here. I am sure the Telugu Film Audience will embrace a film like.
A 4/5 for a Telugu Film. A rarity from me but this is one film I will watch multiple times.

A breath of fresh air
After the very well deserved failures of Brahmotsavam, Sardar Gabbar Singh and Aagdu, the Telugu audience had shown maturity in rejecting formulaic horrible movies with larger than life hero worship. Pellichupulu, the little movie, comes as a breath of fresh air. The USP of the movie is a simple story that connects. For a change, no one in the movie is running around screaming as if their life is at stake. I do not want to write about the various aspects of the movie as the other reviewers have already said it better. The movie is based on real life incidents which are extremely believable. The lead pair has a fabulous chemistry and the comic situations are extremely funny. The future of Telugu film industry is glorious if such movies keep getting attention and success. Go watch it, this one is a gem.
Breezy and beautiful
The movie is completely surrounded by positive vibes. From beginning to ending the charm of the film never fades. Vijay devarakonda excels in his role with his natural emotions. The character called kowshik made movie extra special.

Pellichoopulu is the one of the best Telugu movies I've seen in a while!
I watched Pellichoopulu without much hope of being impressed or even of being entertained. Recent Telugu movies have been passable, but nothing that really got my attention. Pellichoopulu totally blew these thoughts out of my head!
The first half of PC was riotously funny, as the gang led by Prashant (Vijay Devarakonda) are goons who engage in the same dumb things college guys do around the world. Koushik (Priyadarshi) was unbelievably funny--the last time I remember laughing that much at a comedian's antics was maybe the Sunil of old (movies like Dhee, Ready, etc.). Ritu Verma as Chitra was awesome--I distinctly remember being amazed that there was finally a true-to-life strong female character in a Telugu movie. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the first half was that it was so current and relevant. Every teenager sees aspects of their group of friends in Prashant's gang, and the insertion of jokes about social media was timely and hilarious. Chitra's determination and modern character makeup was far more reminiscent of today's Indian women than the made-up doll roles that Tammannah, Samantha, and even Kajal frequently find themselves in.
The second half slowed down considerably, as the focus shifted to the emerging love story between Prashant and Chitra. I was a little less enthused about this half, but I believe it to have been very well done in its own way. The tension between the two kept me engaged, and the non-obvious way in which it resolved itself left me more satisfied than the usual fight scenes that Telugu movies use as a way of having a hero save the heroine.
Overall, Pelli Choopulu is a must-watch with great writing, direction, and action. I know I will be watching it again for many years.

Awesome Comedy
Pelli choopulu is one of the most refreshing romantic comedy movie that i have ever seen.
#10/10 For a Telugu Movie
A feel good movie.
Defiantly worth a one time watch for the pure brilliance of the cast and the simplistic story line. Might feel slow for some and it can get a bit boring at times but the characters bring the story alive and make it worthwhile to get through. A simple, feel good movie that will definitely attract both the youth and families alike.

3.)Comedy- All the comedy were realistic and its something which we also see in day to day life and its presented out well on screen by actors. Director needs to be appreciated for portraying youth's stupidity with realism and i am sure all youth's could relate to it.
4.)Emotions and message mixed very well in the story and audience could get the feel.
5.) songs and bg score Negatives- (Nothing) Is it a must watch? Yes, and its a movie not to be missed. I hope this movie gets remaked so that non-Telugu audience can also see it.

Pelli Choopulu serves a sweet dish of love, professional desires, comedy and slight bit of woman empowerment.
Pelli Choopulu (2016) :
Brief Review -
Pelli Choopulu serves a sweet dish of love, professional desires, comedy and slight bit of woman empowerment. There are some films which offer something out of their genre but never get known for that. The reason for it is quite acceptable that we don't have any specific genre to fit them in, we have same old tags which are used and will be used forever. Pelli Choopulu is known as a rom-com but actually it is not even half of what it is called. Numerically, there is 30% rom-com portion while rest of the 70% combines a sweet mixture of ambitions, realisation and slight bit of woman encouragement. We see many films made on these topics separately so obviously it becomes typical, but fortunately not boring. Maybe tasting a new dish of unknown genre made by using all the known ingredients is what makes it tasty. Nevertheless, Pelli Choopulu still fulfills your appetite of watching a good film. A wannabe businesswoman and a happy-go-lucky guy meet each other during an arranged marriage blind date but eventually team up to start a food truck on their own. This unexpected union serves them to realise the actual taste of life and then typical romance follows the rest of the story. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Verma makes a very sweet chemistry on screen. Their individual performances, looks, accents and rest of the characteristics are fine too. The film has very thoughtful dialogues coming in very genuine way, so genuine that sometimes you even miss the point and then realise it after a moment. The music is good, cinematography is decent, screenplay is engaging and Tharun Bhascker's direction is perfect for the limits of this content. Pelli Choopulu may sound mediocre as a love-story but other elements like drama, family problems, self-esteem and woman empowerment saves it from sinking and swims it to the shore safely.
RATING - 7/10*

The one movie that started it all for Telugu cinema uprising into new dimension
Its a soul touching masterpiece from Tharun Bhascker which will be remembered for ages to come for its the razor sharp dialogues, clean comedy, and soul touching exploration of protogonists love and life mixed with amazing women empowerment themes.
If Akali Rajayam is Old Age classic, then #Pellichoopulu is the new age classic
A very cool and enjoyable movie. Concept and content is quiet fresh. Its a story driven movie, there is purpose of every character, scene and dialogue in the movie.
This probably one of the finest movies in the recent times. You can feel the movie while watching it.
The lead actors and supporting actors did their jobs quiet well.
I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie.
The storytelling in the movie is quiet convincing rather forcing audience to believe it.

A genre defining movie?
I typically don't like romcoms as I think it is too easy for them to fall under the trap of the omnipresent, banal, and repetitious themes and character personalities that plague 95% of the the romantic movies that exist. But this is a great movie with a lot of heart that escapes most of the aforementioned pitfalls, and provides a fresh story with new ideas and characters. Movies like this are essential to keep the genre alive.
The director worked brilliantly with this script, and has created an entertaining spectacle that has enough substance to easily carry the movie past the predictable themes that it does contain. All the characters here are in some way flawed but also likable, which gives way to some lighthearted moments where you couldn't help but smile. Everyone also always stays in character, which I feel is vital for any film. There are many instances in this movie that will surprise you, and for a comedy all of it surprisingly holds well together. You know a movie is good when some scenes stay with you after it is over. Indeed, some of the scenes here are so clever and funny that you couldn't help but appreciate the ingenuity of it all.
Apart from all this commendation, there is one thing which is tugging at my stomach. On one hand it is the freshest take on a romcom I've seen in recent times, on the other, I kind of hate the apparent acceptance of dowry the movie portrays. There is even a scene in which Prashant, the male lead, says directly to Chitra, the female lead that there is nothing wrong with dowry and she says nothing to counter it. I understand that this indirectly comments on the social acceptance of dowry in our nation and this is how many Indians perceive it, but Prashant does not have to fall under that category. The movie industry has a tremendous influence in shaping our culture along with the mindset of the younger audience, and it's a shame that the director chose not to stand against it. I may be coming along as too harsh, so I am just dropping that awesome 9 to a solid 8.

An Excellent Watch !!
Chitra has just completed MBA and aspires to pursue further studies in Australia and become an entrepreneur. Prashanth is forced to pursue Engineering course by his father though he aspires to be a chef. He is also too lazy to chase his dream and seeks shortcuts to settle down in life. The movie takes off when the two protagonists meet accidentally during a pellichoopulu (a common Indian ritual where potential groom and bride meet along with their families). What follows is a narrative that presents a predictable story in an engaging manner with oodles of humor and very relatable situations.
Vijay Deverakonda is authentic in his portrayal of Prashanth who is used to the daily taunts from his father and would prefer to laze around seeking simplistic solutions without a care. Ritu Varma, with her sparkling presence lights up every frame and is pitch perfect as the ambitious Chitra who is at ease in conveying a wide range of emotions. They share an easy chemistry and are ideal foil for each other which make them instantly likeable and keeps the viewers invested in how they fare. Besides the leads, the movie benefits from a competent set of supporting cast who register their presence even in the smallest of roles and adding to the funny situations. Composer Vivek Sagar has provided some good songs and adds value with his background score.
Debutante director Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam has made a breezy romcom which checks almost all the right boxes a genre which is mostly messed up in narratives that are mired in melodrama or mindless action or other "masala" elements. His competence as an engaging storyteller is evident in the way that he strikes a fine balance in presenting the multiple threads of understated romance, aspirations of girls which are often ignored or even trampled upon as well as the casual attitudes of a section of youth Wei fail to follow one's dreams due to their lethargy and seeking easy solutions, family bonds without getting preachy or melodramatic and constant flow of jokes which do not feel forced.
With an entertaining first feature, Tharun has announced his arrival as a film maker to look forward to.

Pellichoopulu review
Such a nice, fresh movie. There is a very simple plot but it so different in a way. I was really surprised with this film and I truly enjoyed every bit. Vijay and Ritu are fresh faces and their acting is amazing. Songs are very breezy and sweet. The comedy will leave u in splits XD Tharun did such an awesome job!

Good Movie
The movie is completely surrounded by positive vibes. From beginning to ending the charm of the film never fades. Vijay devarakonda excels in his role with his natural emotions. The character called kowshik made movie extra special.
The good thing is that this film does not have any dances, there are no fights, there are no melodramatic dialogues. Though the sentimental part drags the movie, the humour overtook the drag and added a pull. It's the fun I took back home and was happy with the feeling this movie gave.
I was impressed by the use of music too. Taking the budget constraints into account Music is a commendable job done by Vivek Sagar. I loved the usage of the song "Raalu Raaga Poolamaala." Also, I must appreciate a huge fact this film is done in Sync Sound. There is no dubbing used; a terrific challenge is handled well and the results are seen in the movie.
