Opinion: Happy Days - Tollywood Neads Many More!

It is refreshing to see once in a while a telugu movie,

  • Which does not show people killing each other
  • Which does not have any of the standard comedians yet generate lot's of laughs
  • Which does not have songs pictured in foreign locations or huge sets
  • Which does not have atleast one known star in the lead cast
  • Which does not have an "Item Song"
  • Which does not have hot shot Technicians
  • Which does not cause embarrassment to watch with entire family

Over the years tollywood has adopted some or all of the above ingredients in making any kind of film.

Kudos to Sekhar Kammula who has refused to adopt the routine formula of film making in tollywood and has shown that you can still make a successful movie without the "standard" stuff.

Shekar has chosen a genre of film which was not popularly attempted but has stuck to classic style of screenplay while narrating the story. The scenes involving misunderstanding between lead characters, college picnic, ragging are shown in many films, but it's the dialogues, actors and locales that brought lot freshness to the film.

The director has kept the characterization simple and did not go overboard with mannerisms and emotions. Music is good and technical values are up to the mark. Though the cast is new, Sekhar was able to extract decent output. I felt like few characters have strong resemblance to "Saved by Bell" a popular teen shows on NBC aired some time in late 80's and early 90's. (Sorry Sekhar, if that's not the case).

Overall the movie is thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended for everybody... Unfortunately you won't get many movies like this... so when you get one of those, go watch and enjoy it...

Finally , Tollywood , needs more Sekhar's to get itself out of the trap that contains Star Images, Huge spending, Violence, Vulgarity and can bring many more Happy Days.
