Story
The story
revolves around two orphans—Ravi Teja and Ileana—created by Lord Vishnu
(played by Brahmanandam. The story opens with Lord Vishnu and Goddess
Lakshmi (Kovaisarala). Brahmanandam promises Kovai that he would show
her an entertaining story
and that's where the story begins (although it's not strong). Ileana
will be a cab driver in Thailand while Ravi Teja will play a mediator.
In a cinematic way, the couple happens to meet each other and falls in
love.
Analysis :
There
are many draw backs of the film. Although people don't care for logic,
Puri should have not brought in Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi into the
picture. Brahmanandam and Kovaisarala looked terrible as Vishnu and
Lakshmi. Even on a comedy note, they really didn't fit into the role.
The music of Devudu Chesina Manushulu was just okay. People were
confused as to why a song came all of a sudden. Abrupt songs rubs salt
into the wounds of the viewers. The background score of Raghu Kunche was
not appealing. On the technical front, cinematography was not good. It
could have been much, much better.
The script of DCM is weak and
so is the screenplay. Although this movie was a love story, there was no
proper attention paid by the director towards the love scenes. There
were no punch dialogues too in DCM. The second half of the movie is
certainly a set back. Right from cinematographer to costumes to script,
no thumbs down to DCM.
Performance :
Ravi
Teja gave his best. Ileana was okay too but emphasis was more on
exposing than acting. Prakash Raj was again just ok. Ali's acting was
outstanding. Brahmanandam and Kovaisarala were not okay. Since script
itself was weak and so was the story, there was in fact, no scope for
performance anyway.
Final Word:
Devudu Chesina Manushulu Entertainment lost in narration.
