Bubble Gum Review
Debuting actor Roshan Kanakala takes center stage in the youthful film “Bubble Gum,” directed by Ravikanth Perepu. Backed by People Media Factory, the film attempts to blend bold elements with a narrative about self-love and resilience in the face of failed relationships.
Overview
Aadhi (Roshan Kanakala), a youngster from a slum with dreams of becoming a DJ, encounters Jaanu (Manasa Chowdary), a girl from a wealthy family. The film unfolds as their relationship faces challenges due to a communication gap. Aadhi decides to pursue his dreams independently, setting the stage for a revenge drama.
Analysis
While the film kicks off with a bold introduction, it struggles to maintain momentum in the first half, lacking engaging episodes. The interval sets the stage for Aadhi’s revenge, but the second half loses clarity, with some scenes feeling forced and lacking meaning. The film attempts to convey a message about self-love, but the execution falls short.
Performances
Roshan Kanakala impresses with a natural performance, fitting well into the role of Aadhi. Manasa Chowdary’s character appears ultra-modern, but her performance leaves the audience puzzled. Other actors deliver competent performances in their limited roles.
Cinematography and Music
Suresh Ragutu’s cinematography captures varied emotions, while the music, with a mix of steamy kisses and a loud background score, adds a contemporary touch. However, the impact is limited.
Conclusion
Despite Roshan’s commendable performance, “Bubble Gum” struggles to deliver a cohesive message about self-love. The director’s lack of clarity and deviation from the main plot affect the overall narrative. While the film boasts a youthful vibe, it ends up being a mixed bag, with some elements working well and others falling short of expectations.
Final Verdict
“Bubble Gum” offers a glimpse into the complexities of modern relationships and the importance of self-love but falls short of making a significant impact. Despite its youthful appeal, the film’s execution leaves much to be desired.
