Holding a success meet less than 48-hours after a film’s release may seem a bit rich. But if you understand the kind of impact that Bommarillu is having the talk of film running to over 300 days seems highly realistic. The cute love story of Siddu and Hasini (Siddharth and Genelia) is making the youth audience feel weak in the knee with rosy romantic feeling. Yes, you can certainly tell it to the world that Dil Raju has come up with the fourth consecutive winner. And naturally, Sri Venkateswara Creations and the cast and crew of Bommarillu are in a mood to celebrate. A quick success meet was arranged yesterday evening. Dil Raju, Bhaskar, Siddharth, Abburi Ravi, Vijay Chakravarthy and Prakash attended this meet. Dil Raju, who was in an expansive mood, was in no doubt as to who is responsible for this splendid show. Bhaskar, he said. The new director knew how to fuse everyday life happenings into an interesting script. The debutant director, in a sense, seemed anything but a debutant. Dil Raju also singled out Siddharth for his bravura show. In his hour of glory, he also made it a point to thank every member of his team. Bhaskar, who spoke from his heart, likened Dil Raju to Prakash Raj in Bommarillu. He gave me more than what I wanted. But at the same time, he gave me enough freedom to work on the script. Siddharth was ever full of quiet dignity and charm. He recalled that he had talked of the film running to 175 days at the audio function. I am happy that those words are ringing true now. The true gentleman that he is, he gave full credit to Dil Raju and Bhaskar for the film’s success. He also spoke very highly of Genelia’s performance. Her performance was the highlight of the film, he said with a rare sporting spirit. He also spoke of the chemistry between him and Prakash Raj in the film. A happy film. A happy team. A happy audience. Well, it all matches. |
