Story:

This will set a goal for him in life.


Analysis:
Endukante Premanta is a complicated storyline which deals with illogical elements. In a way it is a romantic fantasy. Director failed to get the perfect balance between fantasy and reality. The film is illogical throughout. Despite offering few entertaining scenes here and there the film falls short of entertainment.

Director didn’t do much homework on the script and it is evident in each and every scene. None of the scenes touches you. Love story is half baked. The chemistry between the lead pair is absolutely absent. May be the storyline doesn’t demand intimacy between the lead pair, but that doesn’t mean love should be non-existent.

Endukante Premanta is inspired from the film Just Like Heaven. Director failed to adopt it to our style. Due to lack of proper work on the script it falls flat. On a whole Endukante Premanta is a badly done film with half baked story.


Performances: 
Ram was energetic. He did his best to the role. His performance was lovable and his presence was adorable. He has put in extra efforts in the dances to enthrall his fans. Tamanna did well as the damsel in distress. She was gorgeous in close ups. Rishi was just Okay as the villain. Sayaji Shinde was nice. Brahmanandam provides few laughs. Anu Hassan was decent. Kona Venkat didn’t make his presence felt. Krishna Bhagavan was alright. Rest of the cast did a fair job.

Technicalities:

Prakash Kumar’s music was a letdown. Much needed Melody was completely missing. Background score was not up to the mark. Editing could have been better. Cinematography was an asset. Andrew’s camera work stands out. Dialogues were neat.

Karunakaran, who is known for making feel good romantic entertainers, faltered this time. Story and screenplay were the weak links. The director in him could have lifted the spirits but somehow brand Karunakaran was absent in this film.

Final Word:
Endukante Premanta lacks the soul and feel that are much needed for this type of films. Except for few funny sequences, the film offers nothing to any section of audience. The concept too isn’t universally acceptable.
