Review: ETV Win’s Shanmukh Jaswanth Starrer – A Nostalgic One-Time Watch
After a brief hiatus, we’re back with a review of the latest ETV Win original featuring Shanmukh Jaswanth in the main lead. This film, with a run time of 1 hour 38 minutes, streams exclusively on ETV Win. After an initial two-minute advertisement for ‘All India Rankers’ and title sequence, the effective runtime clocks in at a crisp 1 hour 30 minutes. Here’s our take on whether this film is worth your time.
Plot & Premise
The film centers around a proposal made in 2008 and the subsequent wait for a response, exploring what unfolds until the very end. This narrative premise draws parallels to Kiran Appavaram’s ‘Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru,’ which also revolved around the theme of proposing to a girl. The reviewer notes that those who have personally experienced similar situations might find the story deeply relatable, while for others, it might simply be an ‘okay’ experience.
Family-Friendly Content
For viewers wondering if this film is suitable for family viewing, the answer is a resounding yes. The film contains no adult content. However, a minor caveat exists: approximately 20 minutes before the end, a specific word is used by the hero’s friend, and a similar instance occurs during a recharge scene. These particular dialogues might cause slight discomfort for some, but the rest of the film is free from any such issues.
What Works (Plus Points)
Despite the basic storyline often being predictable in its outcome, the film successfully maintains suspense regarding the exact events that transpire until the climax. The fun scenes involving friends are a significant highlight, especially moments like the pooling of money during the recharge scene, the friends’ support in the pre-climax, and their conversations in the climax. The movie also delivers on nostalgic moments, portraying a village setup during the time when China phones were just beginning to circulate, juxtaposed with the use of a Nokia phone. Additionally, the music and songs contribute positively to the viewing experience, and the cinematography is generally good, though some instances of lighting issues were noted, which could either be intentional or situational.
What Doesn’t (Minus Points)
The story is quite simple and suffers from a rather slow pace. Some scenes involving friends, intended to evoke nostalgia, feel somewhat forced and included just for the sake of it. The narrative frequently explores various ‘what if’ scenarios and possible outcomes, which, while realistic, become excessive and repetitive. Furthermore, the heroine’s role is limited, fitting the demands of the story, but it felt as if a song was inserted purely to give her more screen time and an extended appearance. The performances, while generally acceptable, could have been better in some scenes, though they flow with the narrative.
Final Verdict & Rating
The overall verdict for ETV Win’s Shanmukh Jaswanth starrer is that it’s a one-time watch. While it does have its slow moments, it offers enough nostalgic elements to make it worthwhile for a single viewing. Based on the reviewer’s opinion, the film receives a rating of 2.75 out of 5.
