Viswamantha Prema - A Short Film by Harsha Annavarapu
My Review
Here comes a commercial love story short film. Well the story runs around a young college boy "MANU" played by Manohar Manu and the college girl played by Anusha, well Harsha also tried showing life from the love between them to the lie to the parents, from life to death and again from death to life. There was one comedy track set in between the story just like in feature films where the comedy characters have nothing to do with the main story or even with the main characters. The cinematography was really good, direction was also good. The let down was the overall story, it got a little dragging at places. If the actors can put a little more effort I am sure they can reach heights, the director Harsha Annavarapu should have worked with them once for the best results. Editing was really worth appreciating. Good song, great BGM and good use of the song. This short film looked more as if Harsha Annavarapu tried showing this as his demo film to enter the world of film making and work as a director for commercial projects. Many of his previous short films were really great, talented and stood out even story wise.
Overall, a 100% commercial short film, something I don't prefer to see in short films as we have enough feature films releasing with that aspect. Not a short film that you will feel bad even if you miss it.
