Although Surya's future looks bleak Sandhya decides to live with him. Can they ever get together as Surya gets into deeper troubles
Performance ::
Naga Shaurya’s performance he has done complete justice to the character. Rao Ramesh, Avasarala Srinivas have supported the characters amazingly. Vennela Kishore and Krishna Bhagawan gave a slight comedy touch.
Niharika's debut movie has given her best and still needs to work on her emotional expressions. Few scenes she looked pale but in few she nailed it. Overall, good attempt Niharika
Analysis ::
Oka Manasu is a romantic drama that is set in contemporary times but will only appeal to people from the previous generations. Will a doctor blindly fall in love with some random guy with whom she sees no future? Oka Manasu is poetic, but it is impractical. There is scope for better drama with the conflict point, but the director chooses to make it a never ending saga of philosophical conversations between the lead pair. More than ninety percent of the scenes are on the lead pair itself. They meet in various places and keep on talking all the time. At times they kiss or hug! There is absolutely no chemistry between the lead pair.
It is hard to get involved into these sluggish proceedings even during the climax part where the story heads for an unusual ending. Love stories needs to be pleasant and make us root for the lead characters. But the lead pair in this film get on our nerves that we don't even feel the pain during their biggest miseries. There are sub plots and other characters that are not used at all. There is a lot of scope for drama, but Oka Manasu refuses to make use of it. It is not fair to compare this to a television serial. Even they are trying to be funny these days. On a whole, Oka Manasu is like an ultimate test for one's patience
Verdict :: A Slow Romantic movie
