Shreya (Swathi) is an aspiring singer; her aim in life is to sing for A.R.Rehman. Meanwhile, she sings at a five star hotel for money. Everyday, a handsome guy watches her singing at the restaurant but doesn’t compliment her like other audiences. That bothers Shreya and she confronts him on this and soon a friendship develops between them. He encourages her to achieve her goal. One day, a music exponent (Vikram Gokhale) scolds her for singing without the basic knowledge of music that prompts her to take up tutelage under him. The reticent exponent doesn’t accept her first but later changes his heart after her repeated sincere attempts to learn. How does she reach her goal and what is the bond between this guru and shishya forms rest of the story. Analysis Kalavaramaye Madilo is about a girl’s dreams to become someone and her passion towards music. Like all the movies in this genre, Kalavaramaye Madilo treads similar pattern but looks like the director has heavy influence of K Vishwanath’s early classics like Shankara Bharanam and Sagara Sangamam. Most of the situations remind of those movies; hence you get feeling of déjà vu. However the film is neatly handled and executed despite many flaws in screenplay and clichéd moments. It starts off with Swathi’s narration - she introducing herself, her family, her dreams and her infatuation with this handsome guy. Soon after that the director forgets this first persona narration and ends it with like any other film. The film offers nothing new but the music is good on ears. First half is okay, but second half is big bore. Performances Colors Swathi looks cute but her expressions and diction is similar to what she had been doing on Television as anchor. It is acceptable to cash in on her image because youngsters like her peculiar style of voice and overt mushy expressions, but that cannot treated be as ‘acting’. Kamal Kamaraj suits to his role of well-educated, foreign returned guy. He does whatever that is required for. He showing off his six-pack body in middle of a song for no purpose is really silly. Marathi actor Vikram Gokhale gives effective and restrained performance, especially in the climax. S.P.Balu has lent voice to his character. Tanikella’s role reminds us of Allu Ramalingaiah’s in Shankara Bharanam or Sharat Babu’s Sagara Sangamam. Delhi Rajeshwari and Pragati are okay. Music is best part of the movie. Newcomer Sharret Vasudevan has come out with some mellifluous numbers. “Toli Toli Ashalenno Reputunna Thillanna..” (seems Chitra sang this one with flaws purposefully to suit the situation) and “Kalavarmay Madilo..” songs are best from the this supposedly musical film. Cinematography and other technical aspects are neat. As a director Satish Kasetty has improved from his amateurish taking of his first film Hope. But he seems to have heavy influence of K Vishwanath’s films. Bottom-line! Kalavaramaye Madilo doesn’t offer any refreshing theme, angle or situations. It treads on similar terrain of past musical films. Second half of flick reminds of films that came two decades ago. Except from music, it is b ig disappointment and very boring.
