Below Average

Allari Naresh comes up with yet another comic entertainer. Let us see how far he and Brahmanandam have managed to tickle the funny bone of the audiences.

Story:

Subrahmanyam (Allari Naresh) works in a software company. His boss is Balraj (Brahmanandam) a 40 plus guy who is looking for a suitable girl to get married.

Subbu has a friend Malathi and they are going steady. One day Balraj gives a party and in the pub Subbu gets punch drunk and passes out. When he wakes up next morning he finds a girl Sanjana (Ritu Barmecha) besides him on the bed with very little clothes on.

Subbu thinks that he might have done something that night and Sanjana also thinks the same. Now Sanjana's three brothers, Sri Hari and two others literally force Subbu to marry their sister.

They even threaten him and taken him by force to the meet their father JJ (Nagineedu) a dreaded factionist in Warangal.

JJ likes Subbu and arranges for the marriage of his daughter with him. Subbu is dead against the idea of marrying Sanjana.

The three brothers then take the help of a love specialist in order to make Subbu falls in love with their sister and forget his girlfriend Madhu.

After several turns and twists Subbu realizes that Madhu has cheated him. He then understands what a nice girls Sajana is and how her lovable and innocent brothers have done all this as no one will agree to marry the sister of factionists.

Performance:

Allari Naresh has done a rather subdued role in the film. There is not much slapstick comedy that we are used to. He however does a good job and carries the film fairly well. Sri Hari is the next actor who has a big role and he does justice to it.

Nagineedu gets to play another role similar to what he did in Maryada Ramanna. He is okay. The new girl Ritu Barmecha is plain looking and more like a girl next door. She however looks hit in skimpy costumes.

Brahmanadam plays a full length role but his comedy is just routine. MS Narayana, Ahuthi Prasad, AVS. Jayaprakash Reddy and others have minor roles.

Analysis:

Aha Naa Pellantan takes the title of the all time super hit film of Jandhyala. However this film, a remake of the Hindi film Welcome is no where near the original.

The new version is okay as a comic caper but does not have much by way of story. The emotional bondings are also not shown in the right way.

The music is Raghu Kunche is average and the re-recording by Koti is also just okay. The film has nothing much to boast off and is infact a remix of several old films.

Verdict:

Aha Naa Pellanta is a rather slow moving film that does not have enough original comedy to make the audiences laugh. The director tries to evoke laugher with some misunderstandings and mix-ups. The film is okay in the first half but gets a little boring in the second half. This is not among the best of Allari Naresh's films. Strictly speaking the film is just average.
