Something Something Review: Heartful laughs

Rating:  3.00/5.0

Audience today have matured a lot. They know what to expect from a movie. They have their own demands from a film. But that does not mean they look out for something sensational or extraordinary in a movie. Just a little bit of story and little bit of entertainment is enough to impress them. But that does not even also mean, they will settle for inferior content and presentation. If director can mix story and entertainment in proper proportions and presents it impressively, they will lap it up. But that’s not an easy job. Sundar C has done that difficult job perfectly in Something Something. Let’s find out what does Something Something has in store for movie lovers

Story

Kumar (Siddharth) an IT professional stays away from females in his office and even requests his bosses not to put him in teams that include females. Kumar avoids females and turns female hater after he had bad experiences with them since his childhood.

However his life takes sudden change after he meets Sanjana (Hansika), a new employee in his organisation. Though he falls for her, he couldn’t express himself due to fear and in the meantime, he faces competition from his charming and handsome colleague George (Ganesh Venkatraman). To win sanjana he in his desperation meets Love Guru Premji (Brahmanandam). What happens next should be enjoyed on screen.

Performance

Siddharth came with a neat performance. He looked like Lover Boy once again with his cute looks and expressions. Hansika is a big disappointment in the film as she looked older to Siddharth. Even in songs she disappointed a lot. Her role did not have scope to perform.

Brahmanandam is excellent and created laughing riot as Love Guru Premji. Minus Brahmanandam, the film has nothing to see. Samantha in her little role thrilled all, while Rana came and supported Brahmi.

Technical

Editing could have been better in the second half. None of the songs is enjoyable. Cinematography is ok. Director could have created some romantic comedy scenes between Hansika and Siddharth.

Plus Points

Siddharth performance

Brahmanandam comedy

Samantha’s special

Minus Points

Lack of romantic elements

Predictable storyline

Second half

Tamil flavor in sentiments and final comedy

Analysis

Director Sunder chose a script which is routine. However he tried to treat it differently, giving comedy flavor to it. In the first half, his treatment is ok as Brahmanandam’s comedy made everyone forget the other drawbacks. The moment he went and the director came to the story and tried to bring it down to the logical conclusion, his drawbacks came out into open.

Director failed to create interest in the film with lack of romantic scenes and love elements between Hansika and Siddharth. Simple storyline and predictable climax are the drawbacks. Though the climax seemed ok, nearing towards it like pregnant experiencing pains.

Final Talk

Except for Brahmanandam, Something Something has ‘Nothing’ new for movie lovers.

It may be recalled that the CBI has said that  an amount of Rs.2.25 crore was transferred to a company owned by Dasari from the Jindal group, as a quid pro quo deal for the coal blocks he has sanctioned for it, violating the rules. CBI is charging that the Jindal group was sanctioned the coal mines on the basis of fake documents.
Apart from Dasari, CBI also named Congress MP Naveen Jindal, head of the group,  as an  accused in the case. It may be mentioned that the CBI conducted raids on Dsari’s his offices and residence on Tuesday. CBI which already questioned Dasari once earlier, conducted extensive searches at his office and residence on Tuesday. It is learnt that CBI has information that Dasari had done some out of the turn favours for the Jindal group when he was the union minister. Searches which the CBI started at Dasari’s places at around 6 am on Tuesday, continued till 3 pm. Dasari was not allowed to either move out or answer phones during the period, said reports. CBI sleuths reportedly seized some documents from Dasari’s residence and office.

Five coal blocks were sanctioned to the Jindal group of Navin Jindal, a Congress MP during Dasari’s tenure as minister. Santosh Bagrodia was also a minister of state of the department at the time, along with Dasari.

CBI registered cases under sections 120B, read with Sections 420 and 13 (1) (D). The agency has also registered cases against four companies of Delhi including Gagan Sponge Ltd and Jindal Steel and Power Limited and the Sowbhagya Media of Hyderabad. Dasari is a major stake holder of the ‘Sowbhagya Media’ which produces films and TV serials.

Cases against Dasari and Jindal were registered in connection with the allocation of coal blocks in Amarakonda Murgadangal of Jharkhand. It is being said that the Jindal group got the sanctions through false documents. It is being said that Dasari might be arrested any minute now.

It may be recalled that the CBI found that Dasari had done undue favors to the Jindal group of companies and got investments into his Siri Media, in a quid pro quo operation similar to the one followed by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

CBI initially stated that Dasari received Rs. 2.25 crore as an indirect kickback for allotting coal blocks to the Jindal group.

It is in this context that Dasari reportedly sought the help of Chiranjeevi, who expressed his helplessness. It is learnt that state ministers and close followers of Chiru, Ganta Srinivasa Rao and C Rama Chandraiah also refused to come to the rescue of Dasari.

It is being said that Chiranjeevi was hurt by the frequent criticism of his family by Dasari and this was the reason why he kept clear of Dasari’s problems.

The CBI special court has adjourned hearing of CBI’s petition seeking the custody of former ministers Dharmana Prasada Rao and Sabita Indra Reddy to June 19.

The state government said since the march could lead to violence, no permission could be granted.

Major Industries Minister J. Geeta Reddy has made it clear that the government can’t allow the ‘chalo assembly’ march. The minister, who is looking after home portfolio during the current assembly session, said if the JAC wants to hold a meeting on the city outskirts, the government may consider giving permission.

The ministers from Telangana had Tuesday urged Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to give permission for the ‘chalo assembly’. The chief minister, however, rejected the appeal, saying the rally could disturb the peace.

Meanwhile, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) once again appealed to the chief minister to allow the march. TRS legislators submitted a memorandum to Kiran Kumar Reddy in the state assembly on Wednesday.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Communist Party of India (CPI) have also requested the chief minister to allow the march.

TRS and BJP are constituents of JAC, which has vowed to go ahead with the march even if permission is not accorded.
