Movie Review

Story

DD (Sumanth) and Chinna are orphans and childhood friends. Their aim in life is to set up a ‘Pulihora centre’. DD joins a local goon’s (Jayaprakash Reddy) gang so that he could easily get money for the pulihora center. On his first job, he is assigned to kidnap a girl Pragathi, a minister’s daughter with noble intentions. In fact, Pragathi herself hatches a kidnap plan with her friend to demand 4 Crores from her father to rescue farmer who are losing their land. She thinks that DD has kidnapped her on her friend’s advice. Later she knows the truth but by that time she starts liking him. Then DD’s boss comes to him and orders him to kill her. But he flees with her. The rest of the story is finding the person who hatched the plan to murder Pragathi.

Artists Performance:

Sumanth has done such orphan-rowdy characters in the past and he does role effortlessly. His sidekick is irritating to the most, it is very purely etched role. Newcomer Kriti is okay. Jayaprakash Reddy’s role is in the lines of Paresh Rawal’s in Kshana Kshanam. Comedy track by Satyam Rajesh and Naresh, Bablu and others is mediocre. Chandramohan portrays the ‘surprising role’ with ease. Movie Review

Technically, it is cinematographer Andrew’s camera and music director Ramana Gogula’s work is appreciable. New director Raj Pippala has tried to present the movie in novel way but he is letdown by his own team of writers. Writing is bad, to say the least.

Boni tries to tread path with action-love backdrop but fails miserably. Boni is not a right debut for the producer and director. The movie is laced with hotchpotch of screenplay, lengthy and unnecessary scenes and predictable humor.

Analysis:

Music director Ramana Gogula has turned producer with Boni and apart from producing it, he also handles the departments of music, picturisation of songs and creative design (whatever that means!). NRI director Raj Pippala has made debut with this film. The director’s basic premise - a guy kidnapping a girl who herself wants to be kidnapped for noble reasons and during the episode, they start falling in love with each other - sounds good on paper. Sadly, the execution, especially the screenplay, is too hotchpotch that the movie finally ends up a cockeyed one. Writing is too bad (both the screenplay and dialogs). Till interval, hardly anything happens. Except cinematography and couple of good songs, this badly executed, badly written movie leaves the audiences in boredom. And it is too lengthy for this sort of a kidnap drama.

Is there any Pulihora center (exclusively Pulihora selling hotel) exists in Andhra Pradesh? Even if it does, how much it costs to set it up? Rs 7Lakhs? Hero joining a mafia leader to get Rs 7 Lakhs to set up a pulihora center is hard to believe.

Final Analysis:

Boni tries to tread path with action-love backdrop but fails miserably. Boni is not a right debut for the producer and director. The movie is laced with hotchpotch of screenplay, lengthy and unnecessary scenes and predictable humor.
