Shakalaka boom doom

The discouraging footfalls is a true reflection of the quality of the film. With two and half hours stretching ahead of the viewer, resignation is advisedly an early sentiment. With a long drawn love story for an intro and the narrator giving you clichéd one-liners, it is clear that this is going to be yet another yawn filled formulistic outing.

Given that Tollywood builds its heroes to unbelievable scripts and the larger-than-life characters heroics is now predictable and common place, you are no longer impressed with the heroics. You just gape in disbelief. Some stars have the glitter to take it and give you a near make believe. With some others you see the guffaw and wonder what next.

It is so boring to see these multi-faceted heroes sing, dance, beat up goons, fall in love, superbly strategise, defy all laws of human physiology, display dare, woo to succeed and do the impossible. The formula is getting so crass that it is a poor reflection on audience’ intelligence to make such packages and market them with hope and aggression. Why would a person with a modicum of sanity be 'entertained' by such contrived tale and storytelling style? Also why would one travel into such a laborious violent love story in the name of amusement? Some can sure part with their wealth with ease. The result is ‘Doosukeltha’.
