After a ridiculous supply of pseudo western trash, which is still continuing in the form of Dum Maro Dum, it was highly refreshing to watch Mr. Perfect a Telugu movie. This movie continues a fairly distinguished line of movies in Southern Cinema, particularly Telugu industry which cater to the whole society right from elders to kids, with very good issues in our society picked on analyzed and a definitive judgment made in terms of a choice to make in life.
The story line deals with a very delicate question that youngster of today faces, which is whether to marry someone who aligns with everything you desire/have/aspire. Or should you in some sense be accommodating for the overall health of the relationship. Such a simple yet very important theme has been woven into a beautiful movie with life in India portrayed as to how we are all social animals and the relationship across generations and families is a very important thing in an “Indian Marriage” is told exceptionally well indeed. Even with my fairly limited understanding of the Telugu, I found the dialogues touching and to the point with not an unnecessary word spoken anywhere in the movie.
All the characters have their space in the movie and have delivered the performances with aplomb with no overacting anywhere. How the human interactions we have with others are in some sense dependent on the beginnings we make in our interaction with individuals is beautifully portrayed. Prabhas and Kaajal have excellent on screen chemistry. Kaajal has delivered the performance of her career so far, portraying the emotions of hatred in the beginning, upon listening to her father how she goes about (re)judging Prabhas and falls hopelessly in love with him is beautifully portrayed.
Prabhas has portrayed the daring of the youth very well. His decisions based on the firm belief of no compromise in life in your wants and desires in life isl well etched. His run-ins with Prakash Raj are all very well done. This is a movie without any villain, with every character crucial to the eventual outcome. Even the seemingly sentimental scenes early on how they are brought out with relevance in the end is simply too good. Finally he settles on Taapsee, as a no compromise choice but to win over the family what all he has to do and become-- form the basis of the eventual outcome. How marriage is a truly family occasion is brought out very well indeed.
Writing anymore would give the plot away, so watch it and thoroughly enjoy. It is a movie that reinforces the romance with your spouse as well as the value systems you espouse for your kids which are “Old Fashioned” for them. My family enjoyed it thoroughly…..
