Varudu **

A very creative movie from Director Gunasekhar. For sure it is not a commercial bet, but the producer wins over the lovers of traditional cinema for taking the challenge. Music by Mani Sharma lives upto the occasion.

Opening scene showing Sneha Ullal makes one wish she was there in the movie for more time, while the debutant heroine Bhanusri Mehra delivers a decent performance for the role. Allu Arjun tries to put up a stylish performance in a kind-of traditional movie unnecessarily. The concept of 5day telugu marriage is sure to catch up with the audience, though not all sectors of them. The traditional costume, the sets and the creativity put in for Varudu is commendable. Arya looks fierce as the villain but, the character background could have been stronger to match his body language.

Would have been a great art movie, had the commercial movie aspects been kept at bay. In all, a feel good movie show casing the traditional style of telugu marriage !
