For a film that narrates its story through three phases, one wishes it was devoid of preachy dialogues or sequences.ĭespite some obvious flaws, Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi stresses on the value of friendship and director Kishore Tirumala needs to be lauded for crafting a compelling and absorbing film that will go down well with the youth.3312 S Memorial Pkwy, Huntsville, AL 35802ĥ000 S Arizona Mills Cir, Tempe, AZ 85282ġ0733 Westview Parkway, San Diego, CA 92126ģ2100 Union Landing, Union City, CA 94587ġ796 W Newport Pike, Wilmington, DE 19804ġ8002 Highwood Preserve Pkwy, Tampa, FL 33647Ĥ535 Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32216ĥ150 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819ġ01 Jordan Creek Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266ĥ340 Council St NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 Somewhere in the middle, the film's pace slows down. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is refreshing and the background score is stimulating. Lavanya Tripathi is not very convincing in a role that lacks substance and depth.įeaturing some memorable dialogues that are delicate, sharp and witty on friendship and life, coupled with magnificent cinematography, the film shines bright like a diamond in the careers of Ram, Anupama and Sree Vishnu. Both Ram and Vishnu bring out the emotions effortlessly, especially in the scenes where they feel for each other in the second hour. The perfect and subtle acting of Ram, Sri Vishnu and Anupama Parameswaran, and clean humourous performance of Priyadarshi, Kireeti Damaraju make it an engaging fare. In a film centered around two principal characters, Kishore has taken the trouble to give prominence to all the roles introduced to us. This episode, featuring a visibly puzzled Maha, will genuinely make you burst into laughter. The best part of the film is when both Abhi and Vasu meet Maha over a cup of coffee and confess their love jointly, one after another. The director perfectly captures the dynamics of today’s youth and how they drift away due to some misunderstandings. The screenplay stays on course and the casting also brings a degree of freshness to a story which has been explored many times in the past. Written and directed by Kishore Tirumala, whose last outing, Nenu Sailaja, was an ode to love and relationship which won commercial and critical acclaim, Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi is a pragmatic tale about friendship. VOZ has its good points, though these are marred by a sluggish start.

In Vunnadhi., the friendship between Abhi and Vasu leads to many exhilarating moments, but we have a premonition that this cannot last. Friendships built over the years sometimes end because of misunderstandings or due to some emotional conflicts.
