NTR‘s brother-in-law, Narne Nithin, stars as the lead in the newly released film “Aay”. After facing delays, the movie is finally available to audiences today. Bunny Vasu and his team have promoted it as a large-scale village comedy. Let’s see if their efforts pay off!
AAY Movie Story: Karthik (Narne Nithin) has been upset with his father since his teenage years because he didn’t get to attend his preferred college. He moves to Amalapuram, claiming to work from home before the second COVID lockdown, and falls for Pallavi (Nayan Sarika) at a bus stand. He spends his time trying to win her over. Although Pallavi initially loves Karthik, she later learns about his caste, which creates problems for their relationship at home. The film “Aay” explores why caste becomes a barrier in their love story and what Karthik and his friends do to overcome it. Does their love story have a happy ending?
Performances: Ankith Koyya and Raj Kumar Kasireddy stood out with their strong performances and more screen time than the heroines. Their comedic timing especially impressed the audience and became the highlight whenever the movie slowed down.
Nayan Sarika appeared as a lively Telugu girl, though her character’s role was a bit confusing at first. However, the ending offered some clarity. Narne Nithin feels that this film doesn’t quite match up to the first one and that the emotional scenes could have been better. Senior actor Vinod was a pleasant surprise, with his character receiving a significant boost by the end of the film.
Technical Aspects: Director Anji K. Maniputhra has done a great job presenting a simple concept in a funny way. However, stretching the story too long to add more comedy in the first half was a downside. If the story had been wrapped up in two hours, there wouldn’t have been a need for extra scenes. Despite this, the combination of scenes of Rajkumar Kasireddy and Ankit Koya, along with the emotional climax, are the movie’s highlights. The ending left the audience satisfied, even if they felt something was missing earlier. Anji received praise as both director and writer.
The songs are decent, and the camera work is okay. The rain scenes were so intense that you might wonder how much was spent on the rain effects.
Analysis: Aay has some unfunny comedy scenes in the first half and the songs in the second half distract from the movie. Despite this, the film crew worked hard to make up for these issues with a strong climax. If you enjoy village comedies and emotional stories, you might like “Aay” in theaters!
Verdict: “Aay” delivers a mix of comedy and emotion with a focus on caste issues, though it stumbles a bit with some unfunny scenes and distracting songs. The film shines through its strong climax and the engaging performances of Rajkumar Kasireddy and AnkithKoyya. If you enjoy village comedies and emotional narratives, “Aay” is worth a watch in theaters.
Bottom Line: Enjoy the village comedy
Rating: 2.5/5
