‘Thellavarithe Guruvaram’ review: In pursuit of love

A simple narration of a reluctant couple finding love in each other

Debutant director Manikanth presents a breezy romantic comedy that’s reasonably good. Not waiting for compelling stories, directors these days started focusing on engaging the audience throughout the film. Thellavarithe Guruvaram is about a couple who are on the verge of entering into wedlock the next morning. The previous evening at the reception, the audience understands that both of the are disinterested in each other and have plans to elope. The girl has issues of her own and the boy is in love with a doctor who’s unsure about their love. The soon-to-be couple go on a journey that night and minutes before the wedding, and having learnt a few lessons, realise they are indeed made for each other. The story takes place in a span of a few hours and there aren’t many location changes. The film is entirely dialogue-driven and comedian Satya plays the most significant role. Right from the first frame to the last he stands out with his exceptional comic timing and sparkling dialogues and leaves you asking for more.
