Kalyanam Kamaneeyam Review - Worth watching on OTT
Shiva (Santhosh Shoban), an unemployed bachelor who lives on his parents' money, fell in love with Shruti (Priya Bhavani Shankar), a software firm employee, one lovely day. shiva continues to live his life as he did before they got married, shruti provides for him financially, and everything appears to be going according to plan. However, one day a twist in the story occurs when shruti requires shiva to work. Finally, how did shiva handle the circumstance given that she has no aptitude for finding employment? What issues did they encounter in their marriage? Will they maintain the relationship that the movie needs to see?
The movie gets off to a decent start before immediately getting into the plot and character development. The tale is very current and realistic, and the first half of the movie contains several moments that keep us interested in what happens next. Although the narration moves slowly at first, once they get married, there is just the appropriate amount of drama and humour to keep the first half interesting and keep us interested during the intermission.
While maintaining the comedy of the first half, the second half of the story is primarily driven by emotions. This is where we can see the emotional viewpoint. All of these points—a husband who is jobless even after marriage and a wife who wants him to work—as well as how each party deals with it and works to maintain their relationship—are incredibly relevant and keep your interest throughout the movie. The narration and the humour help to keep the film on course even when it occasionally becomes predictable.
Santhosh Shoban did a fantastic job portraying Shiva; he truly owns the part and did his best to keep it as true to the source material as he could. priya Bhavani Shankar, who made her acting debut in this movie, performs a passable job as Sruthi, but she absolutely fails in the emotional parts. The top performers were Sapthagiri, Saddam, Kedar Shankar, and Devi Prasad. By humorously expressing the modern perspective and new age love story, Anil Kumar Aalla performed a great job. He skillfully tackled some societal taboos that still apply today, such as marriage and finding work after getting married. He only half succeeded in holding the audience's attention.
Overall, Kalyanam Kamaneeyam is a compelling modern love story with an understandable conflict that is worthwhile to watch on OTT.
