Sandeep Saroj’s “Committee Kurrollu” REVIEW

Story:
In the serene village of Purushothapalli, West Godavari, a tight-knit group of friends—Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), Surya (Yaswanth Pendyala), Subbu (Thrinadh Varma), William (Eshwar Rachiraju), Peddodu (Prasad Behara), and others—enjoy an unbreakable bond. However, a sudden dispute among them disrupts their harmony and the village’s tranquility. What sparked this fallout, and how does it impact the village and its culture? Will the friends find a way to reconcile? Also, what is Bujji’s (Sai Kumar) role in this dramatic turn of events? Discover the answers in this captivating film.

Pros:
The film’s promotional campaign effectively sets the tone for a vibrant and youthful entertainer, blending humor with emotional moments. Standout performances from Sandeep Saroj, Thrinadh Varma, Yashwanth Pendyala, and Prasad Behara bring their characters to life, enriching the narrative. Supporting roles by Kishore Kumar Polimera, Sai Kumar, and others add to the film’s charm. The childhood scenes, rich with youthful antics, evoke nostalgia and offer plenty of laughs, making them a memorable highlight.

Cons:
While the film excels in comedy and a few emotional moments, its storyline lacks engagement and depth. The plot doesn’t fully captivate, with the first half being entertaining but the momentum dropping in the second. Some emotional scenes miss the mark, and the election subplot and climax feel rushed and underdeveloped. The conflict and reunion scenes needed more impact to enhance the drama and emotional connection. Certain scenes come off as forced, and confrontations with characters like Sai Kumar and Goparaju Ramana lack depth. Although the heroines and their romantic subplots are well-crafted, they are given minimal screen time in the latter part of the film.

Technical Aspects:
Director Yadhu Vamsi crafts a visually engaging film with entertaining moments, though the writing could use refinement. Anudeep Dev’s music is enjoyable, featuring several standout tracks. Edurolu Raju’s cinematography captures the village setting beautifully, while Anwar Ali’s editing could have been tighter to improve pacing. The film benefits from rich production values.

Verdict:
Overall, “Committee Kurrollu” is a decent youthful comedy-drama that offers laughs, nostalgia, and strong performances. Despite a less engaging second half and a storyline that lacks depth, it remains an enjoyable weekend watch, especially with friends. The film delivers a generous dose of nostalgia and humor, making it a fun choice for light entertainment.
