Raj Manty

Though this movie is the remake of love mocktail (Kannada), It has some freshly written sequences, soulful music tracks and eye-soothing cinematography. Four phases in Dev's life are beautifully represented by 4 shades and 4 beautiful/talented actresses in the movie. The performances by all the actors/actresses are apt for their characters. Special mention to Satya dev for living the character, Tamanna for underplaying the character and Priyadarshi for his excellent comic timing. In recent times of Telugu film industry, this movie has refreshing visuals and music. The movie avoids over-the-top heroism and unnecessary drama usually found in love stories, which is a good move. In general, most viewers will feel nostalgic when relating to one or another sequence of the movie. Overall, a feel good movie with a fun filled first half, an emotional second half and finally a realistic/worthy climax. Note: The Kannada version had 90% comedy and 10% drama. This movie has 60% comedy and 40% drama. Both movies worked for me in their own ways.
