Family relationships and values are the main focus in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu says Radhika Rajamani.Director Srikkanth Addala's big project Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC), the first big multi-starrer with Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu, which has been in the news ever since it was announced, is finally out in the theatres today.
The film is a good old family entertainer, without any violence, of the kind that was popular in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Those emotional family dramas touched a chord and the family values and bonding they showed are evident in SVSC too.
The film is a little long at about 160-odd minutes. While it cruises along smoothly, delving into relationships within the family, without too many conflicts or twists and turns, one feels an emotional disconnect sometimes because society has changed so much from what is portrayed on screen. In that sense, it seems more like wishful thinking on the part of the director.
The film is set in Relangi village in Coastal Andhra. It is about the family of Relangi Mavayya (Prakash Raj), a much respected elder, his wife played by Jayasudha, his mother played by Rohini Hattangady, his two sons Peddadodu (Venkatesh) and Chinnodu (Mahesh babu), his daughter played by Abhinaya and his niece Seetha played by Anjali.
Their temperaments are different. Peddadu is straightforward and strong-willed, while the humorous and handsome Chinnodu attracts the girls.
The film revolves around various relationships and bondings the relationship with Seetha's uncle's family (the uncle is a bit opposed to this family), the relationship of the brothers with the parents, the bonding between the brothers, their love life, etc.
