Valmiki(Murali
Sharma) is a small-time employee in a big company. During his son’s (Sushanth)
birth, his boss’s wife (Tabu) also gives birth to a baby boy (Allu Arjun). But
upset with his financial status, Valmiki cleverly interchanges the babies and
brings the boss’s kid to his house and raises him. As time passes by, a tragic
turn around of events happen and the truth is out in the open finally. The rest
of the story is as to how Allu Arjun known as Bantu sets things right.
The
story idea is very good and Trivikram has given his own spin to the film with
solid dialogues and breezy narration. From start to end, Ala Vaikunthapuramlo
has non stop entertainment which will please everyone completely.
Allu
Arjun is in his elements and proves that a star like him cannot be pinned back
for long. Bunny’s all-round performance is the biggest highlight of the film.
His dances, comic timing, and performance will be a treat for everyone. Bunny
has grown as an actor as all his scenes with Murali Sharma have been designed
quite well.
Speaking
of Murali Sharma, he is the backbone of the film and delivers his best
performance to date. He as a desperate and cunning father is terrific and gives
a whole new angle to the film. Tabu makes a good comeback and was good along
with Malayalam actor Jayram in crucial scenes.
Pooja
Hegde is beautiful as her role and chemistry with Bunny is so cute. They make an
adorable couple. Sachin Khedekar gets a crucial role and is quite good in the
emotional scenes. Sunil is just about okay and so were Nivetha Pethuraj,
Navdeep, Rahul Rama Krishna and Harshvardhan.
Lastly,
Sushanth gets a good role. He is quite subdued in the beginning but performs
well in the last part of the film. Last but not least, Thaman is the unsung
hero as his music takes the film to another level altogether.
The
villain’s track is a bit weak as a talented actor like Samutrakani has not been
used well actually. The so called hero-villain moments are just about okay and
do not create much impact.
The
emotional content in certain areas could have been even stronger. Tabu’s role
is dull for the most part as some solid family emotions between her and the
other family members at the end would have made matters better.
Production
values are top-notch as every frame looks superb. The camera work by PS Vinod
is just amazing as he gives the film a classy look. Lyrics are very good and so
was the production design. Bunny has been styled superbly as he looks uber cool
in all the songs.
Editing
is perfect and so was the dubbing done. Samutrakani’s voice and the way all the
lead actors like Tabu and Pooja Hegde dubbed for themselves looks authentic on
screen. The sets laid and the backdrop of the film is very good. Choreography
in all the songs is dam good especially the Butta Bomma and Ramulo song.
Coming
to the director Trivikram, he once again proves why he is the master of
entertainment. The way he has written the story, dialogues and narrated the
film with good entertainment and emotions speaks volumes of his work and gives
an entertaining ride for the audience. He has showcased Bunny in a new avatar
and made him the highlight of the film which his fans and general audience will
just love.
On
the whole, Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is a full-on solid family entertainer that
ticks all the boxes right. Be it the story, dialogues, fights, romance and
music, this film has it all and will be loved by the audience this Sankranthi.
Allu Arjun makes a stylish comeback and is a treat to watch on screen with his
all-round performance. The film will make good money this season and break many
records in Bunny’s career. Barring the slightly dull and predictable ending,
this film is a sure shot blockbuster this new year.
