Dulquer Salman’s choice of films is always interesting. His latest release is Hey Sinamika, which has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story:
Aryan(Dulquer Salman) and Mouna(Aditi Rao) are a couple. But the over-sweet and possessive behavior of Aryan does not go well with Mouna. Fed up with him, she approaches a psychologist named Malar(Kajal Aggarwal) and asks her to woo her husband so that she can take divorce citing infidelity. But Malar falls in love with Aryan and creates more problems. What will Aryan do? Will he fall for Malar? or leave Mouna? That forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points:
The last ten minutes of the film make some sense as the emotions are decent. The realization of Aditi Rao’s character is shown in an impressive manner and the film is ended on a sensible note.
Dulquer Salman is quite subdued in the film but makes it up in the last half an hour. The film belongs to Aditi Rao as she has the best role and performs superbly. Not only does she look beautiful but the way she showcases emotions like jealousy, frustration, and love was good to see.
Minus Points:
The film is filled with so many drawbacks that everything cannot be put up here. Firstly, the basic plot chosen by Vrinda is horrible and showcases nothing new. A top-notch actor like Dulquer Salman is pushed aside and is lost in translation. In so many scenes, he sleepwalks in his role and one wonders as to why he even chose this film.
The basic drawback of the film is there is no bonding between the couple. The film starts on a weird note and why Dulquer behaves in such a way with his wife is not established properly leaving the audience clueless.
The entire first half goes for a toss and excessive length bores the audience. Aditi wanting to leave her husband is showcased in a funny manner that looks weird and has no strong conflict.
Last but not the least, Kajal looks weird with her makeup and the glamor associated with her is not at all showcased here. The way her character comes into the picture and falls for the hero is also showcased in a silly manner.
Technical Aspects:
The music is decent and so was the camera work. All the actors were styled horribly. Dialogues and Telugu dubbing is decent. Editing is pathetic as close to 15 minutes could have been chopped off.
Coming to the choreographer turned director Brinda, she has done a poor job. Even after having so much experience, she has written a water-thin plot. Such love stories have come in the ’80s and 90’s already.
She showcases nothing new and right from the beginning, her narration lacks clarity and basic emotion for the audience to connect. Even after having seasoned stars like Dulquer and Kajal, the film looks so dull and outdated.
Verdict:
On the whole, Hey Sinamika is a badly made romantic drama that makes sense only in the last ten minutes. The film is dull, lacks romance, and has no proper connection. Even though the film has big names, don’t get tempted and avoid it this weekend and look for something else.
