Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu

It is about two individuals with different introspections towards love. It is about two people who were, are and will be in awe of each other. It is the story of Varun and Nitya, their journey of life, their love and their decisions. Varun is the boy next door. He is not a charmer but he is cute, he is not meticulous but he is instinctive. He is caring and loving. He is also arrogant and proud. Nitya is the beautiful girl who every other boy dream of. She is the focused girl, driven by passion and emotional at heart. 

The saga of their love is the crux of the movie. Their decision making during the course of their life, and the factors which make them lead to take those decisions were portrayed. A 8 year old boy chooses boys as his playmates over a girl, a teenage girl choosesbeing a student leader over her possessive love, a young man chooses his career and family responsibility over his girlfriend. How these choices have created the rift and how they made it to the end is the second half of the movie. The differences, dualities and the complexities in the thought process of a girl and a boy are clearly established. 

Nani did an amazing job in showing different emotions. He was natural. The only glitch was he wasn't suitable as a school going kid. Samantha is adorable and beautiful. She is believable as a teenager, as a college student and as a complete woman. The only other notable character in the movie is Krishnudu and he did his given limited job. All other characters are not even worth mentioning. 

The good things about this movie are, it is about two people and it is all about those two people. There are no diversions, there is no forced humor. It was all about how their decisions affected their lives and only their lives. Dialogues were lengthy and slow but natural, situations were believable and romance unbelievable. The bad things about this movie are, background music, no picturesque photography, apart from few scenes in Malapad, which is so evident in GVM's previous movies. 

Climax was the best part where Varun struggles to get over his inner conflict. Songs were not up to my imagination. Overall, this is one kind of movie which you can enjoy if you have seen this happen any time in your life.

A dejected...

I never knew love at first sight would exist until the moment I saw you. Your smile was enchanting and captivating. My whole day would fill with your thoughts and my evenings would be spent to gain your attention. I used to love when you laughed at the foolish things I did to make you smile. Once I got your attention my world changed into a completely different one. My parents grunted, my friends taunted, everyone felt that I was over reacting; they said I was not the first person to fall in love. But for me it was the first time.

I was in awe of every step you took, every move you make. I felt your presence was the most important in my life. You started recognizing all my efforts. It was the proudest moment of my life when you said I was one of the best things happened to you and how you feel blessed about the fact that I love you so much. At that moment, I knew how it felt to be on the top of the world.

Initially, I was the major part of your life. But as time grew, more people started coming into our life. May be we were complacent or we took each other for granted. My likes would entice you before; your choices would make me proud.  Then came the troubled times, I wanted to know things happening to you. You felt I was being possessive, I thought I was being protective as we don’t get to be together all the time. You didn’t want me to do certain things and I wanted you to change some of your habits. Still, love was intact. At least I thought.

I couldn’t help noticing the fact that you started to change. You stopped sharing, you started avoiding. The inevitable happened. You wanted to move on. Our choices, decisions, principles started to differ. Our beautiful world started to break down. Then there came this day when I was no more a part of your world.

If I see back and try to remember all the moments we spent together, you can see the inadvertent smile on my face.  If anyone asks me are there any regrets, my answer will be no regrets at all. I’d have shown the same love even if I knew the sequence of events because you were my first love at first sight.

P.S:  These are not the thoughts of a dejected boy or a girl who got deserted but these are the words of a Dad who loved his baby girl from the day she was born. I bet most of us would feel the loyalties shifting once the writer is revealed.
