Starts like Pournami,Ends like Amavasya

You might be wondering what is this Pournami and Amavasya.Since this movie’s title is named as Chukkallo Chandrudu(something like The moon among the Stars, mind you i’m not good at translating telugu to english), i’m comparing it with Pournami and.....oops sorry, Pournami means full moon day and Amavasya means no moon day, The starting of the movie is like full moon day, interval is like half moon day and climax.....yawn..like a no moon day.The songs were pretty impressive and there was Siddharth, who shot fame with Boys, Yuva, Nuvvostaanante Nenoddantaanaa?, and finally, Rang De Basanti and 3 heroines, Sada, Charmi, Saloni.There are also veteran actors like Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, Vaheeda Rahman, K.R.Vijaya and finally Prathap Pothan.Music is by Chakri, Story and Screenplay by Siddharth himself, and direction by Siddharth’s buddy Siva Kumar.Story:Arjun(Sid...th)is a Germany based NRI.He loses his parents in a flight crash when he was a child and lives with his grandparents, A.N.R and Vaheeda Rahman.His grandparents have only one wish...to see Arjun as a married man.One day as usual, his g.parents ask him to marry, particularly his Grandmom makes some more pressure.but he says simply no.The same night his grandmom passes away(may be due to the pressure).Then his granddad requests him to marry.Again, a no.He gets fed up and secretly goes away to india.Arjun gets tensed but finally he comes to know that the old man is in his village in A.P and goes there and asks him to come back to germany.this time the, old man says a ’no’.He acts as if his health is getting deteriorating in indian climate and finally....phew, convinces him to marry.Arjun goes to Hyderabad and meets his childhood friend ??(Sunil), sorry, forgot his name.He has 3 childhood girlfriends, Shalini Rao-whom he used to play tennis, Sandhya-his classmate, Sravani-His granddads car drivers daughter.He enquires and finds out that the 3 have grown into Shalini Rao(Saloni)-a star tennis player(like our Sania Mirza), Sandhya(a social activist and a firebrand), Sravani(Sada), a medico cum cry baby, who cries all the time).He meets them and introduces himself as Krishna, as they know about Arjun and they may easily fall for him.He meets Shalini as a business man and she falls for him.Then as a P.H.D student for Sandhya and she falls for him.Then as a Hutch company employee for Sravani and she too falls for him.And the twist is that he too falls for 3 of them and gets confused......-Interval-I too confused???Then he asks his granddad and he advices him to marry his true love??Shalini goes to Swiss to play Wimbledon tourney, she calls him there and expresses her love.Both roam in a bike and sing a duet.But suddenly our hero remembers that she is a tennis player and has bright future.he thinks that his love may spoil her career and confesses that he is Arjun and rejects her love.He comes to hyderabad and Sandhya comes to know that he is Arjun and asks him to marry her.But here too, there’s a problem-she had a lover Sharath(Prabhu Deva, to save the day)with whom she separated due to ego problem.Our kind hearted hero unites them and his third option, the cry baby Sravani is getting married to another man, coz she loved Krishna and came to know that he cheated her.But she does not know that he is Arjun.He goes to her marriage to wish her and comes to know that the person who is going to marry the cry baby is a cheat(common thing in telugu cinema)he gets into fight with him and his friends bash him.Then comes our A.N.R and tells Sravani that he’s none other that Arjun.She understands that she has mistaken him and marries him.......aahhh finally this movie gets over.First half is filled with good humor and songs.Second half is very boring because the secret of whom the hero loved is revealed.and there is a song when Sharath(Prabhu Deva)is introduced which is just included for a dancing practice for him.I think the screenplay by Sid....th is influenced by Rang De Basanti, which is awkward, as he wrote the story and screen when in Rang De.. shooting.Story, direction is excellent but screenplay harmed the movie.
