In Jayebhava Kalyanram trusts his role and lets the story take over in the second half of the story as such he has not much to do. There is nothing exciting that the story offers in the first half too and Kalyanram surprisingly has little to do, allows the other characters to take over, his dialogues lack the punch and sound clichéd (Example: heroism anukunte vaccheyadhu, blood lo undaali). The movie puts you to slumber but you wake up when Brahmanandam arrives but again he too utters 'sunta' so many times that you want to plug your ears.
Jayebhava suffers from an imaginative storyline, there is neither seriousness nor comedy and even if it is there it has been oft-repeated in so many films. The industry screams for fresh story writers and dialogue writers. The audience is bored with the twirling of mouch by the hero, dances in foreign countries..now travelling and sight-seeing abroad is far more cheaper than touring Indian tourist spots. The audience wants a nice, fresh story that keeps you involved and some novel gags. If this is the rate of films dished out week after week hoping that a picture or a scene of NTR can pull crowds then we are absolutely wrong.
Ali is disgusting, in Bumper Offer he wore a garish pink like Amitabh did in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom number and became a female, this film has him being dressed like one again. Jayaprakash Reddy, Mukesh Rishi, Ashish Vidyarthi are three towering figures and they waste their time in a lackluster drama that has knives, violence, blood..and to soothen your nerves there is Hansika in a role that requires her to smile and roll her eyes more often. Techniically it is superior, photography impressive, songs nothing exceptional..just run of the mill music.
Raghu Babu is the one who makes his presence felt..don't know if it is because he is being constantly slapped or if he is slapping someone. Kalyanram could have come up with a far more better story, looks like he relied on entertainment but he got lost in the process, all he got to do is some dances, songs. The story is about how Ashish Vidyarthi causes a fracas between two friends and how with the help of Chalapathi Rao, the hero and the heroine plan to unite the families. The film is a thorough disappointment.
