Filmmakers Tharun Bhascker Dhassyam, Nandini Reddy, Nag Ashwin, and Sankalp Reddy have come up with a Netflix anthology titled Pitta Kathalu. Unlike the rumours, Pitta Kathalu is not the remake of Netflix's Lust Stories. The film has a completely new set of stories with different backdrops. Amala Paul, Ashwin Kakumanu, Eesha Rebba, Jagapathi Babu, Lakshmi Manchu, Saanve Megghana, Sanjith Hegde, Shruti Haasan, Naveen Kumar, Satya Dev, Srinivas Avasarala, and Ashima Narwal, amongst others that are a part of the film. The film is currently streaming on Netflix. The movie is engaging with a few stories and boring with the rest.
From secrets to lies to jealousy and control, four stories in this anthology film explore the darker and deceptive sides of love. Adulterous, Agonizing, Downright artificial. Not all love stories can be romantic. This anthology film tries to explore the same. This anthology film deals with four different women, and their journeys of love and betrayal. The common thread among all these stories is their tenacity when it comes to challenging norms.
Ramula is the title of Tharun Bhascker's short story and it is the first among the four. Abhay Bethiganti, Lakshmi Manchu and Saanve Megghana played the leads in it. The short deals with the love between Abhay and Saanve. Saanve plays Ramula in the short and when differences pop up between them, Swaroopakka (Lakshmi Manchu), a local politician enters between them. With a proper mix of regional politics and the complex nature of humans when it comes to love, the short explores a unique yet realistic dimension of love in a rural backdrop. The short is engaging, relatable, gripping, moving, and the best of all the four. Tharun who comes from the background of short films knows where to begin and where to end. He used the limited runtime format so well to come up with an engaging story. The three lead actors have given their best for the film. Abhay and Saanvee need a special shoutout. Lakshmi Manchi attempted something new and excelled in the same.
Technically, the film looks sound. The quality of the film is exceptional. Great care has been taken in making the film. The production values are grand. The camera work in every story is grand. Mickey J Meyer, Vivek Sagar, Prashanth Vihari, Sanjith, and Soorya composed the music. The music did help the film for all the shorts. Except Ramula and Meera, the rest of the stories fail to impress.
