Love Life and Pakodi : A teenage love story told without frills ( Movie Review)

 Chennai, April27: Love- Life and Pakodi ( Telugu) is a love story of two youngsters who are grappling with the issue as to a legalised  marriage is needed to continue living and loving each other. Director Jayanth Gali tells the story as it is and conveys the feeling of the two youngsters towards this issue. He just leaves you to make the judgement and as he says in the end it is for the lovers to decide when they come across practical problems in our society.

The boy and the girl get together in rather a strange situation which many might not face. This bonds them further. They think alike and they are the bindaas type. Having sex and sharing an apartment has no issues. In fact, the girl loves him for the space that he gives and him being non judgemental about her.

Over a time, the boy develops the feeling that it is needed to get married to go further in their relationship. She is dumbfounded as to why this demand when everything is rosy. This moves creates a query in her mind about marriage. Things move on till it lands at the Registar office and she then tells her mind about what she thinks is life together without somebody uniting them on paper and her idea of what marriage is all about. You expect him to walk away but he says that his love for her makes him go along.

Without getting into a mushy romance or as the girl says Shah Rukh Khan style, it is a pleasant watch for elders too. The only twist in the tale of the boy's father and the girl's mother linkup was something that was filmy. It reminded me a K Balchander movie and the puzzle.

Actors Bimal Kartheek and Sanchitha Poonacha ( new finds) do well and film is technically good .
