Oopiri had created a lot of hype right from the time the time the casting has been announced. Now let’s see how this bilingual turns out to be.

After interviewing several persons, he finally opts for Karthik Sivakumar Karthik Sivakumar, or popularly known as Karthi, i >> Read More... , who happens to be a crook. While others have a dislike for Karthi, Nagarjuna looks at him beyond the imperfections. But life is not a bed of roses. Both have their share of problems and how they emerge victorious in solving these form the crux of the film.

Star Performances

Nagarjuna, who still looks young for his age, has given a graceful performance. He has understood the subtleties of his character well and played it with conviction. And as far as Karthi is concerned, the role is tailor-made for him; he slips off into his easy-go-lucky character with great ease. Also, he proves that he is good in comedy. In fact, the humor of Karthi in the film will have an impact on the audience. Tamannaah Bhatia looks ravishing, and her comedy track with Karthi is commendable. Prakash Raj Prakash Raj, born on 26th of March, 1965, as Praka >> Read More... and Jayasudha, both seasoned actors, ably support.

Analysis

Director Vamsi Padipally has intelligently directed Oopiri, which deals with a great bond between two men. The movie, which is an adaptation of the French flick The Intouchables Click to look into! >> Read More... , is loyal to the latter regarding the feel-good aspect. For the uninitiated, even The Intouchables was based on a real story.

Sometimes the directors make changes to a remake film so that it suits the taste of the audiences. And in that process, the outcome is not convincing. But Vamsi is efficient enough in bringing those changes that only embellish the film.

What’s there?

The story of Oopiri is appealing.
One can get immersed with the characters so much so that you will feel as though you are one among them.
Director Vamsi has diligently seen to it that the sentiments work well. And the acting of the lead actors assists this.
The movie is an exceptional case of the astute remake of a foreign movie.
The cinematography of P S Vinod gives the movie a rich look.
The film has a unique blend of richness and simplicity that is quite rare in Telugu films.
Gopi Sundar’s BGM and music are outstanding.

What’s not there?

The pace of the second half is quite dragging.

Verdict

Watch the film and experience the joy of living.
