There are three girls who meet regularly at a bus-stop while alighting
bus to their schools/colleges. Tanmayi (Gayatri) is doing 10th class,
Anjali (Divya Swapna) is doing her +2 and Veena (Bobby) is doing her
engineering. Tanmayi is from a lower middle class. Anjali is from a rich
family but parents are too busy to give her time/affection. Veena is
from a middle class. Veena girl falls in love with a dubious guy Kiran
(Sai Anil) who calls himself as a ‘short filmmaker’, secretly shoots
live sex scenes and blackmails them. Tanmayi falls in love with Sanjay
(Manoj Nandam). He really loves her and can do anything for her. He
turns into a chain-snatcher and then into a murderer for her. The rest
of the story is all about how things go wrong and what they learn in
their lives.
Most
of the cast in this film is new. Hence you see characters. Though a few
of them are amateurish, it adds freshness. Manoj Nandam gets the major
portion in the film and he justifies. Divya Swapna looks beautiful
among female leads and Bobby does well in acting department.
Director
Sunil Kumar Reddy has always been selecting good and socially relevant
subjects, but has been failing with uninteresting narration (Prayatnam
and Sontha Vooru, for example). This subject is interesting and
contemporary. Since it deals with teenage and adolescence, there are
certain scenes and dialogues that are titillating (one girl asking
another girl: share auto lo baga massage cheyinchukunnava, 10th
class girl keeping a bun in bra and looking at mirror etc). The
director has chosen a taboo subject in Telugu cinema which deals stuff
like teenage sex, teenage abortions and sex mms. Some of the scenes in
the film are bland (especially abortion by RMP doctor). The
justification given for the killer to become one is not strongly
established (about why he hates system and his justification for 8
killings). Sunil Reddy didn’t get it right in this film.
This
film is shot with digital camera. They might have used handheld camera
(may be Canon 5D) in certain scenes like bike chases. Dialogues are
realistic and raw at times. Cinematography is adequate. They used
graphics in songs which are completely unnecessary. The songs in this
film disturbs the narration as there is no need. Music is okay.
Oka
Romantic Crime Story subject is made with good intent. But the rawness
in narration and uninteresting screenplay make you uncomfortable. The
only difference between the films directed by Sunil Kumar Reddy in the
past and this film is sex. There is nothing wrong in taking up taboo
subjects. But one should narrate it in a mellowed and interesting way to
make people appreciate it.
