The conflicts in this case even though on the surface appear to be Religious, age and Language based, on a deeper level they tend to be purely based on Jessi’s confusions partly driven by her insecurities and to some extent by her circumstances. All familial, religious and age-related obstacles quoted by Jessi repeatedly are definitely conquerable with true love and are at best mere excuses. Though driven to near insanity by Jessi’s fluctuating moods he tries to convince her that nothing can stop him from loving her and making her his lifetime companion. Karthik is the sane and serene presence here and always staying steadfast in his passion and feelings towards Jessi. Whoof.! So much to say and so many ways to say and each time either breaking the heart or taking the breath away or sometimes both in one.! What makes Jessi more endearing are the occasions/situations she chooses to reject Karthik’s advances, and also express her love …! And then again break away from him just when he least expects it. For there is no fun in any chase without hope. As any girl in her position Jessi is confused about her emotions and keeps vacillating towards and away from Karthik.Īs expected the guy is the hunter and the girl keeps denying him his prey but keeps leaving agonizing trails for the guy to chase. Jessi is the prime mover and also the obstacle in Karthik’s journey. In fact Karthik is the tenant in Jessi’s home but can he make a home in Jessi’s heart ? Or will he just be a guest is for the screenplay and characters to decide. And then as luck has it she resides on the top floor of the same building.
YMC starts with Karthik falling in love with Jessi besotted purely with her looks. Thought enters the picture only when the guy wants it all for himself, for all his life and for no real reason. And it only needs a pair of forlorn eyes to see that something that no one else has seen before and instill an unknown and undying passion to behold and take into arms the girl that triggered the hitherto dormant emotion.
No thought goes into it at that very moment or at that first sight. Just like a beautiful spring flower or a gorgeous sun set, it is an emotion driven purely by instinct. Well, it is true that people do fall in love at first sight and yes Love is such an emotion which when organic is entirely in the eyes of the beholder. Most of the love stories typical to Tollywood strut their stories completely on ‘love at first sight’ notion. Both these characters had such pristine freshness and in effect it made Karthik falling head over heels in love with Jessi seem so real and too true to be fiction. I love this line which conveyed it so perfectly – Mounam tho nee madhi ni bandhincha …manninchu priya. When she finally does declare her love to Karthik, boy what a moment she chooses, conveyed so sincerely with oodles of compassion in that soothing song – vintunnava. The entire first half of the movie rested on her being silent about her true feelings towards Karthik. Its as if we knew what was in her mind by just looking into her eyes. And for Samantha, I was floored by her range of expressions and she spoke so eloquently with her eyes.
Even for directors it helps them to tell their stories just as they imagined.Ĭoming to YMC, Naga Chaitanya was so easy to relate to as a boy deeply in love and his mannerisms seemed so casual and natural which made Karthik a believable lover boy. For Love stories to be believable, actors making their debut as lead characters lend a lot in terms of credibility and not having any image helps them to be identified as the girl next door or the boy next door.
