Surya s/o Krishnan is a kind of film which you would like to watch it on a DVD for the depth it offers, but not in cinema halls where we watch films to get entertained. The negative points are unappealing second half and slow narration. The positive points of the film are Surya’s multifaceted performance, the romance with Sameera and the music. Semi-biographical films would not work in Telugu unless there are dramatic elements in it. But the second half is too slow and little boring. The first half of the film is nice with the romance between ‘Surya – Sameera’ being the highlight.

Production values are extraordinary.Īnalysis: The movie starts off on a grim mode. Cinematography by Ratnavelu captures the mood of the film. There are many English dialogues as well. Listening to the music of the film, nobody would have an iota of doubt about the strained relationship of Gowtam Menon and Harris Jayaraj. All three guitar based songs – Yedane Koyake, Nalone Pongenu Narmada and Monna Kanipinchavu – are magnificent. Other departments: Music of the film is fabulous. The kidnap rescue episode and the war scene in the end slow down the pace of the film further. The entire romance thread between Sameera Reddy and Surya is excellent and extremely natural. The pace of the film is the major problem. We can’t watch hero going through depression and resorting to drugs. What I did not like is the screenplay in the second half. I don’t find anything wrong with the direction as Gowtam Menon is just perfect in this film. And a semi-biographical story should be told with nice amount of dramatization like Mani Ratnam did for Guru film. People enjoy the good moments of life, but are little averse to the bitterness life offers.
But making a biographical film in India has a strong drawback.
Director tried to narrate the story of a life time in ‘Forrest Gump’ style. Life is not like a box of chocolates it has many bitter moments too. Story - screenplay - direction: It is pretty hard to incorporate a life story into 3 hour film. Simran is excellent and you can see the transformation of her from a teen girl to 50-year old lady. Divya Spandana (Ramya of Kannada films) is adequate. The dubbing done to her has a sexy huskiness in voice. She is looking ravishingly sexy (no exposing). Others: Sameera Reddy sweeps you off your feet with her looks in this film. He applied minimal/realistic make-up unlike Kamal Hassan and came up with fabulous histrionics. He portrayed various shades in a highly impressive style. He is an extremely gifted actor and he plays two roles of varied dimensions without imitating anybody. Surya: Surya played the role that spans a lifetime. The rest of the story is all about how his parents motivate to redeem himself.
Something terrible happens and it forces Surya into a depression. He goes to the extent of going to USA to see that girl.
Surya falls in love with Meghan who he met on train. For Surya, his father is a role model and a motivator. Krishnan becomes a more responsible person after giving birth to Surya (Surya). Krishnan (Surya) loves Malini (Simran) and marries her.
