Behind the screens:

Stylish Star Allu Arjun, Trivikram Srinivas are coming together to entertain us with ‘S/O Satyamurthy’ in a grand manner. Expectations are in high and this combo is trying to recreate the magic of their previous hit ‘Julaayi’. Let us see how much  impact they created with S/O Satyamurthy.

Story:

S/O Satyamurthy, Viraj Anand (Allu Arjun), following father's values decides to inherit his dad's debts though he has the option of disowning them after his death. To solve them all, he returns back to India along with his brother (Vennela Kishore) and his family. He turns as wedding planner and there he ends of falling in love with Sameera (Samantha), who happens to be a daughter of Sambasiva Rao (Rajendra Prasad), a money minded entrepreneur. When he accuses his dad in front of him, Viraj decides to solve his problem by bringing back the property papers of the land encroached by powerful person Devraj (Upendra). To unravel, where this will lead to watch ‘S/O Satyamurthy’ in theatres.

Performances:

Allu Arjun did his job well. His stylish looks are attractive. He played subdued role and he restricted himself from mass elements like rough look, his highly standard dance moves and high tempo energy to do settle role.

Samantha attracts and she tempts with her beauty. Adah Sharma got limited screen presence. Her makeup is not good. Nitya Menon is wasted in her small role. Sneha is decent in her role as Upendra's wife.

Upendra performed well in his role. Rajendra Prasad performed well. Prakash Raj got limited screen presence and so is the case with Rao Ramesh, Kota Srinivas Rao, M.S.Narayana. Few Comedy scenes by Brahmanandam and Ali are good.  Vennela Kishore's comedy is not attractive. Pavitra Lokesh, Sindhu Tolani, Sampath, Chaitanya Krishna and others performed accordingly.

Analysis:

'S/O Satyamurthy' story is about how a father plays a important role and impact in shaping up their son’s career. Director Trivikram Srinivas extracted main story theme into 162 minutes of film. He fails to execute the story with mixing of unwanted comedy scenes and boring screenplay. Interval bang is not Upto the mark. Trivikram with galaxy of stars did not make justice to anyone and Tamil flavor too put viewers off. 

Trivikram failed in his screen-play and direction. 

Technical Values:

Music of Devi Sri Praad is good.  Background score is not up to the level. Picturaisation wise my picks are Super Machi, Seethakalam. Prasad Murella’s cinematography is attractive. Few Dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas are good. Fight sequences are good. Few action sequences are attractive. Editing by Praveen Pudi could have been better. Choreography of the songs is apt for the lyrics. Production Values of Haarika & Hassine Creations are all right.

Positives:

- Mid of Second half

- Cinematography

- Few comedy scenes 

Negatives:

- Story execution

- First half

- Predictable Story

- slow pace

Final Verdict:

First half is going like up and downs 

( Sentiment scenes- Poor Comedy scenes- Sentiment scenes- Poor comedy scenes...) and drags upto post interval. And moves little bit faster from mid of second half and goes quite predictable.

Director Trivikram fails to execute good theme with mixed points of morals and family values.

Fans who expects Alluarjun's sensational dancing moves will be disappointed for sure.

S/O Satyamurthy film is Alluarjun-Trivikram combinational misfire.

Movie Rating: 2.5/5
