Producer Bekkem Venugopal, known for films like Husharu, Nenu Local and Cinema Choopista Mava, is now presenting Roti Kapada Romance with a cast of young actors. Directed by debutant Vikram Reddy, the film also introduces new talent. After facing several postponements, Roti Kapada Romance finally hit theatres on Thursday.
PLOT
The story revolves around four friends and their respective love stories. Rahul (played by Sandeep Saroj), a software employee, falls in love with his boss Priya (played by Sonia Thakur). However, Priya wants to get married within a week, but Rahul is unprepared. Harsha (played by Harsha Narra), an event planner, meets Sonia (played by Khushboo Chowdhury) regularly, and they develop a physical relationship. When Sonia becomes pregnant, they must decide their next steps. Surya (played by Tarun Ponuganthi), a popular RJ, is proposed to by Divya (Nuveksha), and they start living together. However, Divya is also seeing another guy, while Surya genuinely loves her. Vikram alias Vicky (played by Supraj Ranga), a Telangana boy, falls in love with Swetha (played by Meghalekha), a new girl in town. He helps her get a job, but she changes completely after starting work. What happened to their lives and how they take their relationship is the crux of the story.
ANALYSIS
Roti Kapada Romance is another addition to the list of youthful comedies in Telugu cinema. Director Vikram Reddy narrates the four boys’ stories in a humorous and entertaining way, primarily targeting the youth. The dialogues and language used are realistic, making the film relatable. The first half of the film focuses on the friends and their love stories, which are narrated separately but blend seamlessly together. The director showcases the friends’ camaraderie and their realistic portrayal of youth.
Of the four stories, Vikram’s love story is the most hilarious and entertaining one. The scenes between him and his father is also very interesting. Then comes RJ Surya and Divya’s episodes. The best part of the film is that all the actors performed well and they perfectly fit into their roles. Also, their comedy timing and punch dialogues match perfectly.
While the first half portrays love, the second half goes in a different way. The climax is pretty interesting. But as a first time director Vikram Reddy has done a tremendous job narrating a youthful entertainer with a message in the climax. Though there are a few flaws, curse words and weak points in the film, you still can watch this one.
PERFORMANCES
The cast, including Supraj Ranga, Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, and Tarun, deliver impressive performances. The actresses, Sonu Thakur, Nuveksha, Megha Lekha and Khushboo Chaudhary, also play their parts well. Four music directors worked and they provided good music and background score. The cinematography is good. Though this is a small film, technically, the movie is looking very good. The dialogues are effective and some of them are punch ones and definitely get clapped.
VERDICT
Roti Kapada Romance is primarily aimed at the youth, and director Vikram Reddy successfully delivers a good film. Despite some loopholes, the film is entertaining and the director extracts good performances from the relatively new cast.
