Nirmala Convent Movie Review

Story

After ‘Janatha Garage’ storm, we had two releases last week and now we have ‘Nirmala Convent’. The movie is entirely filled with debut actors and technicians and that itself promises a breath of fresh air. The trailer was highly promising and the colours were vibrant and gave a positive vibe for the movie. G. Naga Koteshwara Rao is making his debut as director and let’s see in this review, what he has to offer. The movie opens with Shanti (Shriya Sharma) narrating her dreams where a Young man rides a horse dressed as Prince comes to her. Later she tells us who that young man is and what the dream is all about. She is a 11th grade student from Nirmala Convent in a small beautiful town called Bhupathipalem. She falls in love with her class mate Samuel (Roshan) and she gives special attention to him. Samuel’s father and grand father has a clash with Shanti’s dad and grand dad as they are feudal lords for their village. But Samuel and Shanti fall in love and as the matter reaches Shanti’s dad he beats Samuel with his goons. When Sam’s father goes to Raju’s house to speak about marriage alliance, he was insulted by Shanti’s father. Will Sam tie knot with Shanti ? Will he take revenge on Shanti’s father ? All these are answered on big screen.

Performance

The movie has a fresh casting scenario and that is a positive aspect. Roshan Meka has delivered a good performance as Samuel and he will be having a bright future in Tollywood if he selects the right scripts. Shriya Sharma as Shanti has already enacted in dozen of movies as child artist. Now she is a glam doll and she steal our hearts. Her eyes itself speak a lot and however she still needs to channelize a lot for better scripts. Supporting cast is the biggest strength. Aditya Menon, Sammer, Surya, Prabhu, Chandrahas, LB Sriram, Thagubothu Ramesh have done justice to their roles. They are absolutely flawless. The movie has no problem with casting.

Techinical Performance

Roshan Saluri has given a brilliant music and that is the backbone of the movie. He doesn’t seem to be a debut composer. All songs are instant catchy and attractive. The tunes are hummable. He also scored on background work. Ananta Sriram has written Lyrics for 4 songs and they are also meaning ful. Editing could have been better as most of the scenes are a tad lengthy. Crispy editing would have been better. S. V. Vishweshwar’s cinematography is another plus. Cinematography and Music are the biggest positives. The frames are simple and vibrant. But the story and screenplay is what troubles. Most of the scenes give a delusion that loving at wrong age is a good thing (!) Also this might mislead most of the young generation. Don’t let the children be conned into thinking life is all singing and dancing and falling in love.

Final Say

‘Nirmala Convent’ has a good fresh cast supported by lead actors. Technical team is also solid. Music and Cinematography are the biggest positives. But Screenplay is bad and it is executed in worst way possible. So due to this everything gets rotten. The redundancy is obvious in every frame. It seems the scriptwriters ovioulsy ran out of ideas. Furthermore the characters are incredibly boring and totally lack complexity.
