It hurts when certain movies flop. Kalavaramaayae Madhilo is one such movie. Among the three films released today this was the one that was expected to set the ball rolling for the cause of small films. Instead director Satish Kasetty imagined himself to be a la-Viswanath and ended up messing the second half and thereby the movie itself.

Story

Kalavaramaayae Madhilo is the story of Shreya (Colors Swathi) and how she aspires to fulfil her lifetime ambition of singing for music composer A.R. Rehman. Shreya is a charming girl who on the surface seems to have everything. A good job in an audit firm, a boy friend Seenu (Kamal Kama Raju) and a dream to pursue; are all hers. But it is that dream (of singing for A.R. rehman) that gives her sleepless nights. To further her cause she joins as a singer (for a small band) in a hotel.

Not being a trained singer she lives by her wits and manages to live up to the demands of the guests who frequent the hotel. But one guest, a classical singer (an over the top performance by Vikram Gokhale) finds fault with her singing and chides her for lowering the quality of singing. A hurt Swathi takes that remark as a challenge and approaches Rao to train her in the finer aspects of singing and music. From thereon the story is about how Shreya over comes the challenges and realizes her dream of singing with the music maestro.

Presentation

The religion of the director who happens to be the story writer of the movie seems to be ‘Vishwanathism’ as far as this film is concerned. To elaborate, the elements in the films Sagarasangamam, Sankarabharanam, Sruthi Layalu and Swarna Kamalam would role on minds’ screen while watching this film. And there is nothing wrong and such attempt deserves praises. But it’s not just the story that becomes a movie. Proper screenplay, scene conviction and free flow are required to hook the audiences.

And moreover, such films need a right proportion of humor to balance the equation.The attempt of director to bring pathos in climax is laudable but the blend missed the goal. The choice of artistes is not so impressive. And the director didn’t do any attempt to balance the equation of emotions those are being delivered in the movie.First half goes little better with the humor and trademark style of Colors Swathy. But the second half mars the enthusiasm levels of audiences with heaviness in scenes and narration.

Lack of timing while delivering dialogues and giving expressions hindered the free flow in narration.Apart from this, the directors should know that there is huge talent within known sources and need not run for artistes like Vikram Gokhale.On a whole it’s an old concoction attempted to serve with newness but couldn’t reach the expectation.Attempt of director can be appreciated but pity on would-be box office result.

Conclusion

The film is a touch with the classical hits like ’Sankarabharanam’ and others but then it failed to have that sort of class and mettle. While the first half of the movie was okay with the light comedy, the second half was not upto the mark and had lot of confused scenes. The culmination of the plot was okay and though it was melodramatic, the effect was not felt properly on the viewers. The flaw lied on the screenplay and there was not much comedy which played spoilsport. This might fizzle out at the box office in no time.
