Ananda Thandavam - An unhappy dance
IndiaGlitz  [Friday, April 10, 2009]

The essence of a heartbroken lover meeting up with his old flame at one point leads to a new twist in his life. Whether he accepts his old love or does he move on with his life, let us see.

Story

Raghupathi (Siddarth) is a fresh pass out engineer who comes to be with his father Govindaraju (Kitti) and there he chances upon Madhumita (Tamannah) the bubbly and innocent girl who is the daughter of the Chief engineer. Soon, he falls for her and in no time, his alliance is fixed with Madhu by her parents. However, when Raghu goes for a job and comes back on holiday, he discovers that Madhu’s parents have fixed her marriage with Radhakrishna (Rishi) who comes from the US. Feeling betrayed, Raghu tries to commit suicide but is saved. He decides to put his past behind and go to the US to pursue his education. He goes to New York and there he meets the beautiful Rathna (Rukmini). There, Raghu bumps across Madhu again and meanwhile, Rathna begins to fall in love with Siddharth. Time passes by and finally the day comes when Rathna and Siddarth are planning to get engaged but then Madhu discovers a truth about Radhakrishna and she makes a decision. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Tamannah came across as a confused character and her transition from a innocent and confused girl to a bubbly girl was alright. Siddarth lacked energy and looked frozen at many places, Rukmini was beautiful but she needs to add more flesh, Kitty was elegant and graceful, Charlie was regular. The others did their bit to contribute, Rishi was okay.

Technical aspects

The dialogues were quite sleazy, the script was shallow and the screenplay was random. The major flaw in the movie was the editing which has been done very brutally and amateurishly. There is no proper connectivity between the scenes and the audience fails to relish any emotion. Music was alright and two songs can be hummed, locations were excellent and the cinematography did a fabulous job. Costumes were good for everyone except the hero who looked duller due to the pale shades. The art department was quite colorful and exemplary.

Director’s portrayal

The director seems to have been confused as to what he has to convey, though his presentation was alright, the narrative was pathetic. There were many times when one would feel a strong flavour of perversion in his narrative. He brought about a very touching storyline but he was in no position to actually conceive it into a proper movie. The emotional scenes could have been a lot better but he was not able to handle the situations very well. A lot of focus was put by him on covering aspects of relationships after marriage but then it turned out to be a sham.

Critic’s view

The film is no way connected to the title since it has got more of sadness and perversion than anything else. The pace of the movie is quite mild and it goes on at a speed which tests the patience of the audience. Moreover, the issues and conversations tend to get so dirty at times that the audience has no choice but to lower their heads in embarrassment. One did not expect Tamannah to be a part of such debacle and it must be said that the editing and obscene dialogues have spoiled the mood of the film.

Verdict

Attempt it if you love tragedies with slow narration.
