Arjun (Sushanth) had a break up and is happy being single. But his overbearing mother (Anu Haasan) wants to marry him off. Arjun meets Anjali (Ruhani Sharma) at house in private (pelli choopulu). He tells her that he is not interested in marriage and he has certain goals to fulfil before getting marriage. But, Anjali has a big issue. She need to get married as soon of possible due to certain compulsion. Rest of the story is all about how these two reluctant youngsters fall in love!
Actors: Sushanth has never looked so much in command of his acting in his past films compared to Chi La Sow. He is casual and natural. He unlearns his commercial film acting and performs well as per the demand of the character. Ruhani Sharma looks like girl next door with a charming smile. She performed like a seasoned actress with a lot of confidence. Though has limited scenes, Vennela Kishore hogs limelight in entertainment section. The character he played in this film belongs to his zone and he generates a lot of humor. Rohini character demands heavy histrionics and she impresses even in tight close-up shots. Anu Haasan is very good as a caring mother of hero. Rahul Ramakrishnan makes his presence felt in a cop role. Vidyullekha Raman played the role of a character actress, instead of comedian in this film.Tamil Jayaprakash is seen in a brief role.
Technical departments
Other departments: Prashanth R Vihari’s music is very soothing. Except for solo solo (idli bandi song), all other songs are nicely placed. They have used a song each for the beginning song and end song as well. Mellaga Mellaga song is wonderful. Background music is also apt. Cinematography by R Sukumar is neat and goes well with romance genre. Dialogues written by Rahul Ravindra are good and contemporary. He has good understanding of women and it reflects in his dialogues. Editing is alright. Production design is good. Production values by debutant producers are decent.
Analysis: Director Rahul Ravindran has good story and a great female character. He infused very good comedy through Vennela Kishore in few scenes. First half of the film goes smoothly, but second half looks stretched and is a bit tedious. Narration of the film is little slow. Despite a few hiccups, Chi La Sow is a good attempt at delivering a different love story with strong family values!
