Director Maruthi
scored a success with the adult comedy ‘Ee Rojullo’ sometime back and
he is now back again with ‘Bus Stop’. The movie has been produced by
Bellamkonda Suresh and due to Dhamarukam’s delay, the film has released
early today. Let us see how it is
Story :
Bus Stop largely
revolves around the lives of undergraduate students but the lead
character in the film is Sreenu ( Prince ). He is head over heels in
love with Sailaja (Sri Divya). His friends also have their own love
tracks. Rather than a set story line, the film keeps revolving around
emotions and scenarios which parents and youngsters experience in real
life.
The basic theme of the
film is about the lifestyles of youngsters these days and the challenges
faced by parents in keeping tabs. The youngsters fall in love
with members of the opposite sex – some for fun and some sincerely.
There is the character of Seema (Hasika) , who falls in love with one
guy while she flirts around with another just to keep receiving
expensive gifts.
The movie also deals
with the sensitive subject of Trust between parents and children. Some
love stories succeed. Some do not. And some end up with unwanted
pregnancies. Who is the winner in this age old fight between teenagers
and parents? That is basically what ‘Bus Stop’ is all about.
Plus Points :
If you love adult
comedies, crude language and sexual humour , Bus Stop is going to be
highly enjoyable for you. Youngsters will connect instantly with the
dialogues and the scenarios shown in the movie and director Maruthi has
ensured that the film stays true to its target audience.
Comedy quotient is
maintained right through the movie and pace of narration is generally
fast. Prince and Sri Divya have done a good job in the movie. More than
Prince, it is Sri Divya who takes the cake with a spirited performance.
Hasika who has played the character of Seema is pretty good.
Saikumar Pampana, who
is seen as the son of Tiffin Center owner Panakaalu has done a good job
and he brings a lot of fun into the movie. Rao Ramesh has a neat and
dignified role. DMK Muralikrishna is good. The two fathers of Sailaja
and Seema have portrayed their emotional struggles well.
The first half of the
film will be highly enjoyable for young adults. The second half has good
sentiment value and the climax message is nice. This film will have a
wider appeal at the Box Office than ‘Ee Rojullo’.
Minus Points :
The movie is largely
predictable and there is no novelty value in the story. The film’s
coarse language and sexual humour may not be comfortable for all
sections of the audience. Especially in the first half, dialogues tend
to get pretty rough and vulgar.
Some of the scenes
shown in the film may be a little too realistic for people to deal with –
for eg, the cyber sex scene in the bathroom. The attitude of Rao Ramesh
towards the romantic endeavours of his daughter will also be a little
hard to accept for many.
The interval block could have been better, with more shock value.
Technical Aspects :
The film has been shot
completely with a Canon 5D system and the output is commendable for the
equipment used. Editing is largely good. Dialogues are crude and coarse,
but then that is what this movie is about. So they do the job well.
Music by JB is good and works well.
Maruthi has succeeded
in coming up with an entertaining and realistic take on the lives being
led youngsters and college students these days. He has the potential to
be a good director. But it will be good to see if he can attempt a
subject where the vulgarity is toned down.
Verdict :
If you liked ‘Ee
Rojullo’, you will like ‘Bus Stop’. The film is an entertaining youth
comedy with a nice message in the end. The good emotional quotient in
the second half will strike a chord with parents as well as students.
Some may find the vulgarity in the film a little uncomfortable, but hey,
this is an A rated comedy. So you should know what you are going to
watch.
