Movie Verdict
The film starts off well by showcasing forest dwellers’ lifestyles and for the first time politicians taking the forest dwellers into consideration to casting their votes for upcoming elections, it then dives into the discussion of who will go to the forest and ask them to cast their vote, once the protagonist went to Maredumalli, from there the starts getting even more interesting, the first half of the narrative quite gripping with showcasing forest dwellers life, how they are facing problems in day to day lives and when they are unaware of the voting process, the protagonist became the voice for them, all these pulls you into the world of Itlu Maredumalli Prajanekam and makes you part of it, the interval bang created the curiosity to watch the later half when the dwellers ask the justice for Appanna’s death to the politicians.
The second half also starts off interesting when the protagonist takes it seriously of dwellers problem he starts facing problems after becoming a voice for them and once he gets to know the dark truth about politicians and government officers makes you invested in the story, but the pace dips before the pre-climax and the story flounders in the climax but when we look at the whole package the film has all the elements that every common audience will surely connect.
Allari Naresh was again impressed with his natural performance, but we miss his comedy in this film, and Anandhi is good though she doesn’t have much scope to perform and Vennela Kishore is the breath of this serious film he makes you chuckle with his acting and Chammak Chandra, Praveen, Sampath Raj, Raghu Babu, Shritej all are did their best.
AR Mohan came up with an interesting story in the election backdrop and he did his best in bringing a good product, though the film runs on the backdrop of the election he raised many questions by showcasing forest dwellers’ lifestyles which makes us think as we came out of the theaters and he succeeded in engaging the audience.
Technically Itlu Maredumalli is good, except for the poor VFX, majority of the film was shot in Maredumalli’s dense forest, and cinematographer Raam Reddy captured the beautiful locations but the color tone could have been better, Sri Charan Paakala’s songs were not up to the mark and his background score partly good, rest of the team did their best.
Plus Points:
- Story
- Screenplay
- Performance
Minus Points:
- Slow Narration in the Second half
- Predictable scenes
Rating: 3/5
