“Inti Ninna Preethiya”, is a film which will give you a kick of over-dose alcohol. The film’s first half is refreshing with two young lovers and their dreams. Soori handles the scenes between the lovers minutely.
But the problem arises in the second half. The screenplay in the second half completely revolves inside a bar. Lot of scenes involving drinking scenes may make it irresistible even for the Devdas if he ever existed. This is the main minus point of the film.
We feel some relief after Kitti sets right his life with Bhavana. But Soori again gives a twist and tests the patience of the audience. We feel like walking away at this moment. The climax involving the programme “etv ede tumbi haaDuvenu” being played in a bar is quite funny. May be we will have to expect that this film will change the trend!
The real hero of this film is camera man Satya Hegde makes us feel everything as a natural lighting. He makes sure each frame comes out as artistically as the art works of Soori. The locations chosen in the first half are good. The song “ondonde” is a foot tapping number which everyone enjoy.
But the well written and composed song “madhuvana” karedare comes at a time when the screenplay is at its darkest pace. Hence the audience fail to appreciate the song. The film mainly fails due to its over drinking scenes and the bad pace of the screenplay.
Yet Soori has made the film in an artistical way. We cannot compare this one with the usual 5 songs, 2 fights films. Soori has said many things using images and characters, which the normal audience may fail recognize. His way of showing the complexities and bitter truths of life is amazing. The scene where Kitti goes to a prostitute and sleeps on her lap and tells her about his love is one scene which will show what a wonderful humane thinker Soori is.
Rangayana Raghu who until now attracted us with his mannerisms and dialogues is here without uttering a word. He plays the role of disappointed lover who loses speech during after disappointment and does the work of burying dead bodies. Raghu makes one cry with his speechless acting. Kitti alias Krishna ha done a good job, but his talks when he is drunk is somewhat unclear and irritating at times. Bhavana, Sonu are good. Kishore has done very well.
In whole, Soori has tried to show what will happen in life without love. But the film does not live upto its expectations and fails.
