A multistarrer of real mama-alludu Venkatesh-Naga Chaitanya raised the most unexpected expectations. The title 'Venky Mama' too is very solid and very apt for the promotions of the film. I missed it in the theatre due to my semester examinations. Now that it's out on Amazon Prime Video, let's find out how the movie is.
Venky Mama is a 2019 mass masala entertainer starring Victory Venkatesh, Naga Chaitanya, Payal Rajput, Raashi Khanna in lead roles. It revolves around Venkatratnam Naidu and his alludu Karthik and their bond. The rest of the story centres around how their relation is tested in various situations.
The first half of the movie is quite good although the story goes nowhere. The foundation of the movie is laid strongly in the first 15 minutes of the movie. Suspense builds, Comedy works. Venkatesh Rocks. The heart is set in the right place. We actually can observe the momentum slowly falling until the interval. The military scenes in the first half set the tone of the film. But, the second half shit, they screwed up. I told you the momentum was falling, until in the second half, the movie falls flat. The story becomes predictable almost serial like. Then, the anticipated military fight comes along. Although, the idea was good, it looks like a cheap copy of Uri- the surgical strike which makes the experience a little off.
The acting in the movie is subpar. I actually found an equation for this film specifically

The acting in the movie is subpar. I actually found an equation for this film specifically
Acting(Everybody)-Acting(Venkatesh)-Acting(Naga Chaitanya) = 0
The acting of venkatesh and naga chaitanya and their chemistry is very very good. This is serious though. Senior actors like Nasser, Prakash Raj just scream and just act for their pay check. The heroines you know play their part of looking glamorous and stand in the background like all other heroines in other masala films.
The technical aspects are mixed. The music and score is very good although the songs look dragged with one catchy tune sprinkled all throughout. The cinematography of the movie is very good because it transports us to their world. The editing is very mixed. They have to cut some scenes. The use of green screens is the worst. This particularly shows in the military scenes.
Overall, it is an average mass masala commercial entertainer with good comedy but bad second half. It's okay because it is a commercial entertainer. It's a big hit anyways. So, I would definitely recommend it to all the Venkatesh and NC fans. It would be a fun watch on TV. So, happily watch it.
