After the family entertainer Swathimuthyam, Ganesh Bellamkonda is back with his second film Nenu Student Sir! which is Directed by debutant Rakhi Uppalapati.The movie is bankrolled by ‘Naandi’ producer Satish Varma.The promos looked very interesting and let us dive into the review.
Story:
Subbu Alias Subbarao (Bellamkonda Ganesh) is a student who madly wants an iPhone.He buys one doing odd jobs in his free time.
He loses the phone on the very day he purchases it.He decides to get it back at any cost but in the process, finds himself in an unnecessary mess.Subbu’s efforts to get his mobile lands him in a serious trouble – murder case of fellow student.Realising that he was trapped in the case, Subbu digs deeper and he unearths a serious scam.
Performances :
Nenu Student Sir has two main characters – Bellamkonda Ganesh and Samuthirakhani.Then, there is Avantika Dasani as the heroine and Sunil, Srikanth Iyengar, and Jabardasth Ram Prasad in other roles.
Ganesh is struck where he was in his first film, Swathimuthyam.He struggles to emote and deliver dialogues.
At times, we see a slight smile on his face even in the scenes that are not necessary.His lanky structure also hinders movement and body language in places.
The innocent look he naturally has fits the initial portions where he is shown obsessed with an iPhone but even those portions are disappointing due to some mediocre writing.He needs to undergo so much of a grind if at all to make a mark on the audience in his coming outings.
Avanthika Dasani, daughter of Senior actress Bhagyasree makes her Telugu debut with this film.She is a perfect pair in the sense she struggled with basic expressions.
Samuthirakhani is completely wasted with poor writing and hollow characterization.Sunil is there for the sake of having a known face and does not do much.
Srikanth Iyengar is as usual a beaten-to-death formulaic character.There are several other small characters that are filled with Television or unknown actors who do not make any impact.The producer Satish Varma himself was seen in a cameo.
Technical aspects :
The music by Mahati Swara Sagar is decent, and the Maaye Maaye song was good on screen.Anith Madhadi’s camera work is good, and so are the production values.The dialogues, as mentioned earlier should have been written better.The editing is below-par.
Coming to the director, Rakhi Uppalapati, he did a below-par job with the movie.
Despite having an interesting point, he didn’t succeed in coming up with an engaging screenplay.The last forty minutes act as the saving grace.Nenu Student Sir! indeed had a lot more potential, but it hasn’t been used effectively.
