The movie moves at a steady pace and keep the viewer interested at all junctions.Lead performance by Sidharth and Genelia are commendable though Genelia occasionally stumbles from sweet to sappy.The supporting cast does a decent job but I found Prakash Raj a little tiring as he does the same thing he does in every movie with the tapping-forehead-with-four-fingers-thing. 9/10īommarillu is the story of Sidhu's(Sidharth) struggle in dealing with a controlling father.Life moves along manageable well till the point where he gets engaged to a girl of his father choice and then goes on to meet the girl of his dreams,Hasini (Genelia).Sidhu who had been rebelling from within until then,finally finds a reason to bring out the rebel who had been hiding within him all along. On the whole, the movie is not just your average romantic comedy, but a pleasing mixture of human emotions, drama and romance.

These scenes have been presented in a good manner. Siddharth, Genelia, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Srinivasarao Kota suit well for their respective roles, especially in the scenes that require strong emotions. The rest of the story is how he convinces his family, especially his father about his state d'affaire and wins her over. He comes to terms with his own life and the things he misses, mostly his individuality. When he meets this happy go-lucky girl (played to perfection by Genelia D'Souza) who does anything and everything she wishes without constraints, he gets inspired and loves her dearly. When all the little details of his life are taken care of, he has nothing but a sense of emptiness left in him.

I'm glad I bought this movie (an original copy-no bootlegs for me!) I will watch it frequently.īommarillu (House of Toys) is the story of a young man (portrayed fantastically by Siddharth) who lives with his parents and faces an identity crisis as his overly protective father takes care of everything for him.

This year, I plan to show a brief clip of _Bommarillu_ to show the widespread knowledge of those characters and to make the point that arranged marriages are neither a thing of the past nor a way for parents to punish the young adults in their lives. My high school students read _Romeo and Juliet_. It urges balance and moderation on everyone's part.

The movie includes a plea for honoring traditions and taking them into account while also allowing for change. It took me a little while to warm up to Genelia D'Souza, but her character was so flawlessly, honestly bubbly that her enthusiasm became contagious. Here he made me giggle and relive the giddiness of new affection. Siddharth won my mind and sympathy in _Rang De Basanti_, one of the best movies ever made by anyone, anywhere. I don't always have much use for "cute," as it often dribbles over into "cutesy," but this movie had almost the perfect amount of cute.
