Hello Nanna overview

Shouryuv’s 2-hours-35-minutes-long movie isn’t made for the impatient. If you happen to’re searching for a quick paced or conventionally entertaining story stuffed with fights, overtly dramatic moments, random peppy songs, et al, look elsewhere. However should you can’t cross on an emotional love story that takes its personal candy time establishing its characters and progresses at an unhurried tempo as a result of it needs you to get misplaced in its world – this one’s for you. Positive, you would possibly guess a number of the ‘twists’ the movie throws your approach. However the truth stays that the way in which Shouryuv unfurls the story makes it an attractive journey.

Nani, Mrunal and Kiara make this movie work

The story depends closely on Nani, Mrunal and Kiara’s performances and the three make you need to root for them. Nani is flawless as Viraj, a single father trying to battle for his daughter towards all odds. If you happen to share a loving relationship along with your father, it’s onerous to not see him within the character. Kiara is cute and pulls off the function with ease. She even performs properly in a number of the movie’s emotional moments. Mrunal is the guts of this movie.

The canine that performed Pluto is obvious cute, Priyadarshi is hilarious.

Stunning music and cinematography

The movie is usually shot in Mumbai, Coonoor and Goa which lends for some lovely, romantic frames. Shouryuv makes a stellar debut, he clearly is aware of what he’s doing. Sanu Varghese’s cinematography is a delight, so is Hesham Abdul Wahab’s music. The songs may not stick with you, within the sense that you simply need to hearken to them over and over, however they slot in properly with the narrative and typically, even add to the scenes. The music Odiyamma (with a cameo by Shruti Haasan) is the one one which appears misplaced and pointless, dragging on the run-time.

Has its coronary heart in the correct place

Hello Nanna may not be Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, as Shouryuv promised. However should you’ve seen romantic dramas like Positively, Possibly or Everlasting Sunshine of the Spotless Thoughts or The Pocket book, a number of the main beats of Hello Nanna will likely be predictable. Whereas Shouryuv makes these beats his personal, it doesn’t negate the truth that Viraj’s backstory is cliche. A revelation is made earlier than the interval, which makes the second half heavier. There’s even some drunk comedy to veer away from the heaviness of all of it, which doesn’t work. However the movie’s ending greater than makes up for it, as a result of it coronary heart is in the correct place. And it is no spoiler to disclose that Viraj, Mahi, Yashna and Pluto find yourself proper the place they at all times belonged!
