Aarya-2 -- Mr. Imperfect and Confused

I had a hidden feeling that over past couple of decades Indian Cinema has largely helped in deterioration of Indian Traditional Values. Barring movies by few directors like K. Viswanath, there were movies, portion of whose, attacked the traditions. Some attacked Guru-Sishya relation by treating Teachers like buffoons. Some attacked Parent child relation by making fathers look like idiots. But thankfully not many movies in Telugu attacked marriage system completely and made a ridicule of it. This I must say is merely a relative comparison with the bollywood movies which repeatedly attacked marital relation.

In Aarya-1 its director Sukumar tampered with “love”. I am not much worried about it as there was no precise description/guideline for boy-girl love. But in Aarya-2, he tampered with marriage, which is not in good taste. Especially when the movie is targeted for youngsters who are future of the country and supposed to be torch bearers for our cultural values into future. It is also risky as if it “influences” them and it is proven fact that bad influences faster than good.

Story Line:
Honestly I am confused or the director is confused rather. Storyline says it is story of a man who wants everyone to be happy. It is real good as Sarve Janah Sukhinobhavantu is real good thing to preach. But before passing this judgement, please mind that definition of everyone is merely Aarya, his friend and his lover turned wife. What’s so special in this? I am unsure. Either I misunderstood the storyline or the director misunderstood definition of everyone. Also most part of the story every lead character looks like a sadist in the making than anything else. Of course it was packaged and written on top of it as lighter vein.


Performances:

Arjun:
He is usual routine self. There is nothing special that can be mentioned here. I would hate to know a person like his character in real life. His dance performance is also good.

Navadeep:
He did justice to his allotted role as supporting artist. He probably is getting breaks in his second entry with revised look.

Kajal:
She is beautiful if that is all is required for heroin. But she did her bit of acting too when required. If only characterization is a bit better, I would have been happy. She depicted confused bubbly girl who is confused about love. I could have tolerated her that far. But she is confused even after marriage. Its unpardonable. If today’s girl identifies herself with the lead character, then I dare say future of our tradition is in real risk.
