Movie Verdict
We very rarely see science fiction movies in Telugu. Probably Aditya 369 is the only full-length movie with the concept of time travel in Telugu. Oke Oka Jeevitham is refreshing content, as we are watching only particular genres like Thrillers, Dramas, and Romance. This movie has all the elements that will connect with all sections of the audience, though the movie has the concept of time travel in it. But the movie has its flaws in the narration, which might seem boring to some sections of the audience as well. The way the movie tries to explain the concept of time travel, and destiny is appreciable.
When it comes to acting, Sharwanand is impressive as Adi, who loves his mother. His performance in emotional scenes clearly shows how good an actor he is. Amala Akkineni is seen on screen in Telugu after ‘Life Is Beautiful’ and she was perfect for the role. Ritu Varma has less screen presence, yet she did her part well. ‘Vennela’ Kishore and Priyadarshi also did a good job in portraying their roles and evoked a few laughs in some scenes. Nasser always lives in the character and makes it look believable. All other actors did their part well as required for the story.
Technically Oke Oka Jeevitham’s movie looks okay. The music composed by Jakes Bejoy was good, Amma song & Okate Kadha song were good. The background music also suits the mood of the film. The cinematography by Sujith Sarang is okay and a few shots look beautiful on screen. We can see a few compromises in terms of budget and that is common for time travel concepts as it needs more funding for the VFX. The production values of this movie are good.
Director Shree Karthick is impressive with his making style. This debut director dealt with the concept of time travel very well, making it understandable for everyone without any confusion.
Overall, Oke Oka Jeevitham is a very good attempt in Telugu, on the concept of time travel mixed with emotional drama. This movie definitely watchable in theatres for it’s new content.
