Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki

Rating: 40.5

Characters:

Naga Shourya, Avika, Rao Ramesh and others

Technician's:

Naga Shaurya's growing confidence can be seen in the portrayal of Sai. This character is bit different from what he usually plays. He got into the skin of the character and just lived it on the screen. He is definitely an asset to this film. So is Avika. Thanks to her immense following among the Television audience, Avika plays pivotal role in getting decent opening for this film. She is a pretty decent actress too. She did well in the emotional scenes. Rao Ramesh does a Prakash Raj in this. He is believable. Vennela Kishore's Software Engineer role is funny at times. Sapthagiri does the usual stuff. Vidya did an important role and she is alright. Naresh and Pavitra are natural as Shaurya's parents. Writer turned director Nandyala Ravi proves his strength as a writer. His dialogues are the biggest asset to this film. But he has relied too much on dialogues and didn't concentrate upon the script. This half baked script never engages the audience at any point. Director's failure is evident throughout the film. He failed to handle the romance track between the lead pair in a convincing way. Soundtrack composed by KM Radha Krishna is good. Same cannot be said about the background music. Cinematography is decent. Editing is too bad. There are far too many disjointed scenes in this film. Production values are

Plus Pointies:

Minues Pointes:

LRMI has more negatives than positives about it. Despite having some funny moments and good dialogs, Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki fails to impress. Most of the damage has been done in its second hour. Good climax could have saved it from being a total disaster. LRMI's prospects turned upside down after the interval point and there was no looking back after that. Except for the lead pair and few good dialogs, there is nothing interesting about this film. Finally a lousy love story.

Conclusion:

Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki is old wine in new bottle. We have seen similar films with similar conflict points in the past. Sad part is we have seen better films with the same theme. LRMI fails on many levels due to lousy storytelling and lethargic screenplay. Love track between Shaurya and Avika is the biggest weak link of this film. It is impossible to impress the audience with a love story that has poorly written love track between the lead pair. There is thread about the past love of Rao Ramesh. Even that isn't dealt in a touching manner. LRMI has more negatives than positives about it. Despite having some funny moments and good dialogs, Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki fails to impress. Most of the damage has been done in its second hour. Good climax could have saved it from being a total disaster. LRMI's prospects turned upside down after the interval point and there was no looking back after that. Except for the lead pair and few good dialogs, there is nothing interesting about this film. Finally a lousy love story.
