Kiran Abbavaraam, the young hero, who underwent many struggles and faced insults, before making his mark in the industry, decided no one should face such troubes and so turned producer and took upon himself the responsibility to encourage new talent. His first production venture Thimmarajupalli TV introduces many newcomers and his camera assistant Sai Tej as the lead actor and the online editor for his projects, V.Muniraju as the director. The film's OTT rights are yet to be inked. Let us see how the film entertained movie lovers.
Thimmarajupalli TV story revolves around a remote village and the happenings involving a TV and how it impacts the lives of the young lovebirds and the other villagers. Satish (Sai Tej) and Sarada (Veda Jalandhar) fall in love in a calm and serene village of Thimmarajupalli.
But everything changes once Sarada's brother Rajappa (Pradeep Kotte), becomes the first person to bring TV in his village after his marriage with Yellamma (Swathi Karimireddy).
Many become envious of him and one one fine day shocking incident happens. What is that shocking incident and how it impacts the lives of Satish, Sarada and others and what role Rajappa's father Sallapuri (Satyanarayana), Satish's mother Vasantha (Madhavi Prasad), Ramachandraiah (Amma Ramesh), TV.Kumar (Teja Vihan), Ganesh (TV.Raman), Siddhiah (Latheesh Keelapattu), Keeranna (KL.Madan) form the interesting part.
The entire cast came up with commendable performances. They came up with natural and realistic performances and nowhere did they show any artificiality or forced expressions. They emoted quite well on screen and delivered dialogues with ease.
Sai Tej who played the lead role performed well and carried himself on the screen quite effectively. He showed the innocence and also at the sametime, feelings towards the girl he loved. He also emoted well and expressed himself according to the situation.
Veda Jalandhar /Vedasree looked good in the role of a village belle. She looked natural and performed well supporting Sai Tej. The scenes featuring both of them came out quite well. Pradeep Kotte showed the intenstiy in the role of the female lead's brother and elevated the scenes with powerful performance. Swathi Karimireddy is good in her role especially in the climax.
Others like Amma Ramesh, Satyanarayana, Lathish, Teja Vihan, TV.Raman performed well and gave a powerful push to the proceedings.
Thimmarajupalli TV story is penned by Muniraju who made his debut as the director. He came up with an interesting plot and tried to highlight how the entry of TV in a remote village, brings in changes along with the ego clashes. He showed all of them in a natural and realistic way.
He highlighted the characters in the first half and so took his own time to enter into the conflict point. This at times slowed the proceedings impacting the narration. Till the core point, he established the romance between the lead pair and also ego clash that was brewing in the village.
The narration picks up once the core point is out and from there on the screenplay becomes more racy and manages to engage the viewers in the second half with more emotions along with the climax twist. The emotions in the climax increases the curiosity among the viewers. Dialogues are realistic and highlighted the rustic village atmosphere.
The music tuned by Vamsikanth Rekhana and the songs are situational. They are shot in the backdrop of natural village atmosphere. He elevated the scenes featuring emotions with his impactful background music. Akshay Ram Podishetti's cinematography showed the village atmosphere of the 90s quite well in a realistic way bringing in nostalgia. Editing his done by the director Muniraju himself and it is just ok. He left out many scenes that slowed the pace of the narration out of love for his script. Production values are good.
Altogether, Thimmarajupalli TV is a decent entertainer. All the debutantes did a decent and commendable job. Director Muniraju on debut came up with an interesting story revolving around the TV and the happenings in the village. After the slow start introducing various characters, he managed to generate interest with the mystery and then during the climax he highlighted the negative effects of TV and people thronging to watch in a small house. He also spoke about the relationship between newly married couple and how their lives got affected due to TV.
However, the slow pace in the narration, simple point and lack of emotional connect undid all the good work despite the cast, most of them newcomers came up with a decent and spirited performances. Little finetuning of the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the narration.
Kiran Abbavaraam should be commended for beleving in the story and the script and also encouraging new and aspiring talent. He ensured that the newcomers get all the support in the industry and released the film without any hiccups on the aforesaid date while many top films are facing release day blues and getting postponed at the last minute. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Thimmarajupalli TV.
