Jagame Maya
Dhanya Balakrishna is in the lead role in the movie ‘Jagame Maya‘. Chaitanya Rao of ’30 Weds 21’ web series and ‘Mukhachitram’ movie fame and Teja Mainampudi in lead roles. Disney Plus will be streaming exclusively on Hotstar OTT from December 15. How is this movie (Jagemaya Review)?
Jagamemaya Movie Story : Anand (Teja Ainampudi) loses lakhs in IPL betting. As the lenders pressure him to return the money… he earns some money by blackmailing his lovers. After that, he shifts to Hyderabad to escape from his debts. He attends depression classes there… someone has to line up a girl with money!
He meets Chitra (Dhanya Balakrishna). She is an orphan. Raised in an ashram in Visakha. Ajay (Chaitanya Rao) is introduced when he comes to Hyderabad for a job. Ajay and Chitra fall in love and get married. Arnel’s married Ajay dies in an accident.
He comes to classes to get out of that depression. Anand impresses Chitra and her in-laws… makes them propose to get married. What happened after that? Actually, who caused Ajay’s accident? Who cheated whom? What are the twists in the story? is the rest of the movie. Must watch on Disney Plus Hot Star OTT.
Analysis: The hero says in the first half of the dialogue that ‘If you are dying to act like a real art film hero… what is this lag?’ Maybe… while watching the movie, the people got the word in mind first and wrote it!? Because… when that scene comes, the audience’s feeling is almost the same!
That is the situation that Lag Entra Babu should think about. The story doesn’t move forward until almost an hour after the movie starts. Everything is a stretch! Once the main twist in the story is revealed, the scenes are laughable. The words in the hero’s mind make us laugh.
Apart from the comedy, there is nothing much to say about the movie. The twists are easy to predict. Nothing is too difficult. Cinematography and background music compete with each other. It is difficult to say which of the two is better. Good camera work can be seen in the recent YouTube series. Can listen to music. Short film standards are also not maintained in technical terms.
How did the actors do it? : Dhanya Balakrishna’s character has two shades. He looked innocent at the start of the movie. After that, they showed gray shades. The actress did justice to the character. Chaitanya Rao’s role is short. Well done while it was. Teja Ainampudi is the main hero of the movie.
As mentioned above, his dialogue delivery in the scenes after the twist is revealed is laughable. If you work hard, you will have a good future as an actor. He has more Boy Next Door features. I don’t understand why Prithviraj’s character stuttered. It doesn’t help the story.
What is the final say? : ‘Jagame Maya’ is a crime drama based on software. The concept is ok. But, the method taken is not good. The comedy is good in some scenes. You can’t watch a movie for two hours for that. Try if too empty. Otherwise, skip it happily. The lead given to the sequel created more interest than the movie.
