Review

Story
Arjun (Vishwak Sen) is a 33 years old bachelor from Telangana. His engagement is fixed with Madhavi (Rukhsar Dhillon) from Godavari district. When Arjun and his family visit the house of Madhavi, covid lock down is announced. Arjun realizes that Madhavi is slightly reluctant to interact with him. Since there is a prolonged lockdown, Arjun and his family are forced to stay in the house of Madhavi. Elders decide to marry them off. And an unexpected thing happens.

Artists Performance

Vishwak Sen who is perceived as an aggressive guy does a very timid guy’s role in this film. He has changed his body language and looks. He is perfect in the film. He is a terrific actor and does an excellent job in emotional scenes. Rukhsar Dhillion plays the role of a shy girl and she is pretty good. Ritika Nayak who did the heroine's sister role fits the bill with her spontaneity. Vidya Sivalenka is good as the hero’s sister. The scene-stealer in this film is Ramana Goparaju (Middle Class Melodies fame). He is excellent as an uncle from Telangana gang who irritates with his comments. Kadambari Kiran gets a meaty and important role as the heroine’s uncle. Vennela Kishore is entertaining in a MLA cameo. Rajkumar Kasireddy is first-rate with his entertaining performance. He was first noticed in Rajavaru Ranigaru film. Kedar Shankar is good as the hero’s father. Ashok Selvan did a cameo appearance.

Technical departments

Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is simple. It’s a treatment and moments based film. It’s about characters. Writer Ravi Kiran Kola succeeds in writing genuine characters and setting up the plot. The first half of the film is interesting and is handled well. The 2nd half doesn’t have enough material to sustain the interest. However, it's filled with a couple of entertaining scenes (drunken scene and Vennela Kishore scene) and some heartwarming message oriented scenes (about daughters). It's a decent debut for Vidya Sagar Chinta as a director.

Other departments: Songs scored by Jay Krish are melodious. O Aadapilla song is the best among the lot. Background music is also good. Cinematography by Ravi K Pavan is very good. He has explored greenery and village colors well. Editing by Viplav Nyshadam is sharp. Dialogues written by Ravi Kiran Kola are entertaining and thoughtful sometimes. Production design by Pravalya Duddupudi is authentic. Production values are neat.

Analysis: AVAK is a romantic comedy that explores the insecurities and frustration of 30+ aged Indian bachelors who find it hard to get a bride. Vishwak Sen fits the role perfectly. Writing of the film by Ravi Kiran Kola is good. We had a similar lockdown marriage film ‘Vivaha Bhojanambu’ released directly on OTT a year back. The bachelor frustration and second heroine angle makes this film much more engaging. The first half of the film is engaging. The 2nd half should have been better. The freshness offered in the first half turns repetitive in the 2nd half. Entertainment provided by actors like Goparaju Ramana and a few entertainment episodes (drinking scenes) saves the 2nd half. This film is a good addition to the career of Vishwak Sen as it adds another dimension to his portfolio.
