Nara Rohit left a mark of his own on the Industry with content-driven films since his journey as an actor began. Quality, Innovation & Speed are the aspects he mostly focus. Just 3 weeks after 'Tuntari' release, 'Savitri' directed by Pavan Sadineni of 'Prema Ishq Kadhal' fame hits the screens. Does the content of this new release looks as promising as the promotional material? Let's see…

Synopsis:

Savitri (Nanditha) is obsessed with marriage since her childhood. Its Love at first sight for Rishi (Nara Rohit) soon after he gets to see Savitri. Since then, He tries his best to win her heart but she doesn't pay any interest. Both Rishi and Savitri weren't aware of the fact that their families have already fixed their marriage with each other. While Rishi informs his family about his decision of not to marry the girl of their choice but his soulmate, Savitri made up her mind to live the rest of her life with the man of her parents choice. Its only after these developments, Rishi & Savitri come to know about the big twist of their lives. What follows is, The remedy Rishi finds for a happy ending...!

Performances:

Nara Rohit is a class act. May be, He is the only Young Hero to be loved by all the sections of audience. With 'Savitri', He just comes much closer to the movie lovers by playing the role with utmost conviction. Making right choices on a constant basis has certainly boosted his confidence levels. He is flawless throughout the movie, especially stands out in the sequence where he speaks to Heroine's Sister. Be it the screen presence or dialogue delivery or comic timing, This Man is top class and will only get better n better in future.

Nanditha Raj is an apt choice to play female lead and she doesn't disappoint. Murali Sharma and Ajay have done a good job. Noted comedians such as Posani, Prabhas Seenu, Shakalaka Shankar and Fish Venkat keep the audience in splits. Even Dhanya Balakrishna, Satyam Rajesh, Vennela Kishore, Madhu Nandan and Srimukhi does complete justice to their roles. Ravi Babu as Antagonist isn't very effective.

Pros:

Nara Rohit

Music

Humour

Narration

Cons:

Love Track

Technicalities:

'Savitri' is technically sound. Sravan's Compositions were refreshing. The theme music is outstanding and a good feel has been maintained throughout the coarse of the movie with soothing Background Score. Cinematography by Vasanth is topnotch. Krishna Chaitanya's meaningful dialogues are entertaining & thought provoking at times. Production Values are rich. Pavan Sadineni proves he isn't an one-film-wonder with 'Savitri'. Apart from choosing a subject which has got huge potential to reach out to youth and families, He came out with flying colors in the execution part.

Analysis:

First things first, You don't get to see a new story in 'Savitri'. What makes it work is the taut screenplay and the lively narration from start to finish! Hero's Characterization & Narrating the story from Heroine's point of view gives a unique feeling.  

Pavan Sadineni mayn't have scored the success he deserved with 'Prema Ishq Kadhal'. But, He bounces back with 'Savitri' which is a perfect blend of light-hearted humor and family emotions. Each and every scene in 'Savitri' is engaging. Thanks to the good Characterizations & Casting!

There might be mixed reactions about Nara Rohit-Nanditha's chemistry & love story, but that doesn't mean they failed to entertain. Audience could comes out of theaters with a smile of their faces as humor takes the centrestage in 'Savitri'. Though Nara Rohit takes the major share, All the Comedians have contributed to the best of their abilities.

First Half of 'Savitri' is very entertaining with the episode of Rail Journey & Road Trip. A good balance between Humour & Emotions has been maintained in the Second Half. The Climax block, realization of Heroine's Family, is the major asset to the movie. Director made sure there isn't too much melodrama in these portions. Meaningful Dialogues has just elevated the emotional scenes to an another level. Overall, 'Savitri' is a clean family entertainer having a huge reach & repeat value.

Bottom Line: Go For It!
