Erra Bus is 151st movie Dasari Narayana Rao is directing and a remake of Tamil hit movie Manjapai. Manchu Vishnu and Catherine Tresa are the lead pair. Dasari is quite confident on the movie. Lets see how the movie is…
Plot:
Rajesh (Vishnu) is a software engineer who has only one dream, to go to US as soon as possible. He is also in relation with Raji (Catherine), whom he wants to marry. Rajesh wants to spend three months with his grand father (Dasari) before he moves to US. After his grand father reaches his place, Rajesh’s life takes turns due to Dasari’s village actions and habits. How Rajesh deals the situation and what happened to his love story makes the movie.
Analysis:
Erra Bus is completely a family drama and completely built on sentiments. The first half of the movie deals with show casing the funny side of Dasari being with village actions. Second half deals on the other side with his actions. The chemistry between Dasari and Vishnu as grand father and grand son worked out very well, they are pillars of the movie. Dasari’s performance at the climax is top-notch and the current generation will come to know his acting skills. Family values and relations are portrayed in an excellent manner. Climax is well designed.
Coming to negative side of the movie… Slow narration is the main draw back. There are many scenes that can be chopped and reduce the run time for 30 minutes. Slow narration will definitely test the patience of current generation. Comedy is a huge minus to Erra Bus. Brahmanandam’s is not necessary and didn’t worked out. Movie is completely predictable.
Cast Performance:
Dasari: No one from current generation can judge or criticize or review Dasari’s acting and directional skills. Whole movie revolves around his actor and he did it spot less.
Vishnu: Vishnu once again proved his content. His matured performance saved Erra Bus at many places.
Catherine: She did justice with the limited role she has.
Technical Department:
To start with, present generation will know why Dasari is called as Darshaka Ratna. Being at of age 70 and directing a movie is not an easy job. He almost avoided the generation gap in the movie. He proved again that he is king in making family dramas.
Music is fine and Namasivaya song is treat to watch.
Cinematography is good. Dialogues are written well with lot of depth.
Editing is a big negative.
Verdict:
An one time watch family entertainer. Only aimed at family audience, not for commercial movie lovers.
