Behold OLK review. Its a disaster and here's why. It begins okay with a graduation speech but then things go downhill fast. NC's character Karthik(K) asks for a gap year to gain wisdom. Not really a bad move. There is an important side story whereby K stops the car, buys a couple of birds and sets them free. Next shot a plane takes off, the birds again. A metaphor, he is as free as a bird. The mandatory Telugu song sort of blends in as a few months go by but we see Nandana(N), the heroine enter in typical clichéd fashion. Destiny. Remember the birds K set free who else should find them but N. The birds were perched on a tree when it rains heavily and N nobly puts her hands over them to shelter them but clearly birds can survive these storms, or else there would be few birds left. She takes the birds to a pet store to buy bird-food when the vendor, Shah Rukh(SR) who sold the birds to K comes to the same store. sometimes coincidences happen (Refer to Laura Buxton's story) SR claims that those birds are his, like there are only two birds of that type in the whole of India. He tells her of K buying and setting them free in the name of freedom. She was impressed by this but wait you'll find this in contrast to her actions later on. She asks him to say thanks on behalf of the birds if he ever sees K except the birds are not really free as she still keeps them imprisoned which pretty much defeats the purpose of him setting them free.
Had enough of birds? Well if you watched the rest of the movie the birds would be the least of your problems. K sees N and falls in love at 1st sight. She's beautiful. Obviously she has to be doing something cheesy for the hero to fall for her otherwise its lust and that is a sin. She's having fun skipping over puddles when a truck approaches. Puddle. Truck. Oh no! Tense music. She hides behind her shawl and splash! Get this it was a selfless deed as big reveal she was protecting some school kids from their uniforms getting dirty. Hero flat. He gets out of the car and tries to catch her but misses. Don't worry K its a movie where things defy probability and extreme coincidence is the norm.
A joke about entrance exam into heaven postmortem which is actually funny. His father asks him 6 months are up got any clarity? I'll write a book he says. 1st time we're hearing about it. Improvisation. Book is about her, enter movie title here. How meta of you, movie? The final opening credit just for solidarity. Bird story arc continues as SR meets K. Gist: what did she name the birds?
Heroine follows her father's principles religiously. Thats okay I guess. K helps his friend by pretending to be bad making a bad impression with N who leaves before the "drama's climax". Bad 1st impressions are bound to bite hero and audience who would have to put up with this in the a$$ with a vengeance later on. Thus begins another story arc I would like to call the Prejudice like from Pride & Prejudice. Meanwhile Heroine's BFF flat.
Comedy for this movie is toilet humor. Ali's character Pandu(P), Uncle of K and thanks to said nephew gains a reputation of having the magical ability whereby children who he carries pee. The joke goes too far when everyone comes asking him to help with their kids having trouble to pee. There were other tortures K caused him to face but this was the main one. Due to which he flees to Dubai and gets stuck there for fifteen years visa problems. He returns with a vengeance but should have never returned.
N meeting SR: birds' names Laila + Majnu. She wants his number. Yay! Meanwhile on the Prejudice story arc N misunderstands K & N's BFF taking selfies as them dating.
...Happy freedom day. Freedom, K's favorite word. He buys a flag and kisses the sweet little girl on the cheek. N too buys flag from same girl, kisses girl on same cheek mind you. Flashback to reconfirm. Its a small world, really small, despicable, movie. He just misses her again. Song!
K Meeting with SR: bird names given, phone number please. No sorry in love with someone else. Will this bird talk ever end. Immediate cutaway to SR meeting with N. Impressed further that he didn't give her his phone number while in love with someone else. Oops song not over yet. K sees N giving an old man new clothes, gives chase. Meets with fatal accident but since he's hero sustains small injuries. N gives shawl not dramatically, thankfully, asks him for his family members' number. He gives her his, she dials it he now has her number mu ha ha. He professes his love to her. Anyone would think he is crazy at this point. I'm with N on this one. He gets details from old man of which center N studies at. Next day he joins. Mind games and reverse psychology. Meanwhile K's frustrated father wants him to get married so he could learn some responsibility.
Online site matches them. For a long time K doesn't know this. Pandu also delays the inevitable. All of K's wooing attempts N calls out as "cheap tricks" including one that is absolutely brilliant. But she's a woman scorned you see. When all good ideas fail only the stupid ones remain. In the end girl understands guy. Guy gets girl and all are happy. If only 'Everything Wrong With' could do Indian movies like this one the movie sin Tally would be off the charts.
Sentence: Birdemic 1&2 to view for eternity.
