Jorugaa Husharugaa Movie Review, Rating

Viraj Ashwin of 'Baby' fame is back at the box office. His latest film is titled Jorugaa Husharugaa. Pujita Ponnada is the female lead in this entertainer directed by Anu Prasad. Here is its review:

Story: 

Santosh (Viraj Ashwin), born in a weaver's family in a village named Pochampally, moves to London for higher education. Due to an incident, he joins a software company in Hyderabad. His girlfriend Nithya (Pujita Ponnada) joins the same company as a team leader. The company's owner Anand (Madhunandan) tells Santosh that he loves Nithya. Meanwhile, Suchitra Joseph (Siri Hanumanthu), who works in the same company, is secretly in love with Anand.

What kind of turn does this love triangle take in the end? Why did Santosh, who was supposed to go to London, have to work in Hyderabad? Answers to these and more questions are found in the second half.

Performances:

Viraj Ashwin delivers a commendable performance without overdoing anything. The film could have slipped into a routine template had the performances not been strong. Both Viraj and Pujita Ponnada handled the scenes pretty well.

Madhunandan delivers a few laughs as someone who is too old to fall in love but entertains youthful fancies. Brahmaji is interesting, while Siri Hanumanthu gets a good role.

Dialogue King Sai Kumar is excellent in the emotional scenes. Rohini Molleti, who plays his wife, is another plus. Sonu Thakur is seen in a supporting role.

Technical Departments:

Praneeth Muzic's songs are decent but not great. Marthand K Venkatesh's editing work is effective. Mahi Reddy Pandugula's cinematography is respectable.

Analysis:

Viraj Ashwin has managed to become fairly popular with youngsters, thanks to the blockbuster hit 'Baby'. In the film under review, his characterization is in complete contrast. In 'Baby', he was rich, flamboyant and self-centered. In 'Jorugaa Husharugaa', he is a picture in contrast. Viraj's character has been designed in a likable way. He is a middle-class person whose sensibilities and emotions are relatable.

In the first half, the director engaged the audience with a series of fun scenes. The workplace comedy, the banter, the natural bonhomie, and the camaraderie shared by the different male and female colleagues are neatly done. Clean comedy scenes in the backdrop of an IT company engage the audience.

In the second half, the director explores the triangular love with interesting plot turns. His attempt to impress the family audience by delving into the father-son sentiment is impressive.

Verdict:

This film is a breezy entertainer with an emotional touch.
