Chandram
(Sivaji) and Rajyam (Laya) are happily married couple
for seven years with a child. When Rajyam is away, Chandram
is struck with a model (Sangeeta) who joins in the flat
next door. Chandram gets infatuated with her. The rest
of the story is all about if Chandram sticks to his
marriage vows or give them up for the sake of another
woman.
Sivaji is fabulous in this
film and proves himself as an alternative to Rajendra
Prasad in comedy timing. Laya's
character in this film is an extension of her housewife's
role in Missamma. Sangeeta
is adequate, but her character in not etched properly
by the director. MS Narayana
and Brahmanandam are passable.
Story:
Story of this film has roots in Hollywood Classic 'The
Seven Year Itch' (1955 - starring Marilyn Monroe). A
film on similar lines has come in Telugu in the form
of 'Sarduku Podam Randi' (Jagapati Babu & Soundarya).
Another film was made in Kannada in the name of 'Bisi
Bisi' with Ramesh Aravind as hero. This film appears
like a remake of Kannada 'Bisi Bisi'.
Other
departments: Screenplay of the film is adequate
in the first half and goes haywire in the second half.
Direction is mediocre. A couple of tunes scored by MM
Srilekha are good through you get a feeling like heard-them-before.
The background music used for Adirindayya Chandram punch
is inspired from the Bee-gee's Staying Alive. Dialogues
by Nandyala Ravi are witty. Cinematography by Adusumally
Vijay Kumar is average.
Analysis:
First half of the film is decent with ample comedy.
The second half goes into boring mode. The vital episode
of Sivaji getting infatuated with Sangeeta was not shot
in a proper way. Plus points of the film are Sivaji's
fabulous comedy timing and the first half of the film.
The major setback of the film is immature handling of
second half. On a while Adirindayya Chandram makes a
below-average flick.
