The movie based on how to deal with relationships. How younsters fall in love and few misuderstandings immidiately after marriage lead to a breakup. Excellent photography, memorable music and lyrics, tidy screenplay, timely and apt dialogues and passable performance lift the film from what would have been a mediocre film.Dinakar joins the band of first time directors who made it big in Kannada cinema. For his subject he has worked vigorously for the neat presentation of the film. The film has the shades of bollywood's Chalte Chalte. But where Dinakar is outstanding is in his touching presentation of emotions by not going overboard. The watching of this film definitely leaves a strong impression to the present youths.
Nakul(Prem) and Divya(Ramya) fall in love. They marry against the wishes of their parents and leave their home to settle alone. Everything goes fine with Prem improving his ad company business very well and Ramya too enjoying their relationship. But work pressures for Nakul makes him neglect Divya which brings a sense of doubt to Divya. The situation becomes worse when Nakul works late night with his company model. Divya is also insulted by Nakul for misunderstanding him and this leads to Divya abandoning Nakul and returning back to her parents. None of Nakul's pleadings or compromises are able to satisfy Divya who evetually applies for a divorse. A series of situations leads to a differently shot climax.What happens next?? You have to watch the movie.
Prem comes back again with a bang. This time a more serious role which brings out his best acting skills. He's improving film by film here he's portrayed himself very well. He has done a good job as a lover boy and his sentiment and comic sequences have also come out well thought he still has a long way to go as far as dialog delivery is concerned. He sure is a promising actor, someone to look out in the near future. Ramya is depicted very beautifully and giving her the Uttara Kannada dialogs has completely given a new image to her regular roles. As usual she excells in all departments. Sharan,Tarun Sudheer,Amrutha and Netra as friends do justice to their roles playing the supporting and comic roles.Dwarakish after a long time is back in a much more matured character.
Technically well made JoteJoteyalli impresses from the beginning. Songs are the main strength in the movie. Thanks to V.Harikrishna for the amazing tunes. Siktare Siktare , Gunavanta impress above all. The most pleasant aspect of the film is cinematography. Venus Murthy has done a brilliant job especially in the picturisation of the songs. Some neat lyrics by V.Nagendra Prasad adds a lot of value. Darshan's special apprence in the movie brings a lot of energy into the audience.
Thought the screenplay lacks the energy at some points regular timing of the songs save the movie from breaking down. In a nutshell, 'JoteJoteyalli' is a film for the entire family and a good film from the writing, performance and presentation stand point.
