Darling - A run of the mill

Darling is out and out prabhas movie which unfortunately didnt exploit the actual talent of Prabhas. Apart from few beautiful captures of kajal, there is nothing new in the movie.

First half of the movie is completely dedicated to switzerland, portraying kajal as a music lover and prabhas as a rock star. I felt he was more of a street side lover than a rock star. There was nothing new as there were umpteen movies which came around this same theme of guy chasing the girl.

Introduction of hero was one of the worst i've ever seen before. Heroines intro was not upto the mark in the lines of karunakaran.

Second half was much of a relief and brings a fresh breeze as kajal was seen in a completely new avatar. Family sentiment, comedy was dealt with in patches. Songs just pop out of random. Action sequences were forcibly included which wasn't necessary at all.

Coming to the performances, Prabhas and kajal did well, but their roles doesnt demand much performance. Prabhas danced well. Prabhu was fine, Prabhas friends gang were kind of successful in tickling the funny bone.

Photography was excellent, screenplay was good, since the story was an age old cliche, but there was much scope for improvement.

Overall nothing creative, same old stuff. Prabhas needs to have better judgement in choosing roles. These kinda roles can never put him in the big league.
