Plus points:
· Story
· Performance
· Cinematography
· Message
Minus Points:
· Few routine scenes
· Lack of major twists
· Lack of commercial elements
Performance: Suhas’ performance is amazing. He makes the audience glued to the narrative. Sharanya Pradeep also acts very well in another key role. Nithin Prasanna’s role is unique. Shivani Nagaram who plays the female lead is very entertaining. Jagdish Pratap Bhandari, Goparaju Ramana, Gayatri Bhargavi, Surabhi Prabhavathi, Kittayya and others justify their roles.
Technical: The story of the Ambajipeta Marriage Band is simple and good. Shekar Chandra’s music is good. The cinematography work is a special attraction of the film. Producer Dhiraj Mogilineni should be appreciated for believing in the director’s idea and making such a realistic film. His production values are also very good. The movie lacks major twists
Analysis: In one word, the Ambajipeta Marriage Band is a film that reveals the sentiments of the socially backward and depressed sections. The story is very realistic. The scenes of mentally torturing innocent people in the name of caste by the upper caste society are also very emotional and impressive.
Although this Ambajipeta Marriage Band movie is impressive with its mind-blowing message and emotional scenes, the lack of commercial elements and slow screenplay are the minus points of the movie. The gripping narration is missing in some scenes. It would have been better if the director had made the first half of the story more interesting.
Rating : 3/5
