A refreshing journey of self-discovery
prafulb2 October 2015
Watched this movie after a friend's recommendation. The film is about a materialistic guy (Subramanyam) who meets his old school friend and then goes on a path of self-discovery to answer the complex philosophical question "Who he really is" (hence "Yevade Subramanyam") . Despite the clichés at multiple places and also a "Gamyam" like feel, the cast, screenplay and the beautiful locations make this film an amazing experience to watch. Nani was able to effectively portray a character that starts as annoying and shallow and then transforms into someone with whom you can relate to. Nani has been picking some real good scripts and trying some worthy experiments. Kudos to him. Malvika Nair lends an able support with an author-backed role. Though she is a newcomer and this is her first film, her mature performance should surely bring her many laurels. Vijay Devarakonda shines in a small but significant role. The music is fine and the cinematography is awesome (especially the dudh-kashi sequence). This is a rocking start for debutant director Nag Ashwin who must be commended for taking a philosophical theme but did not make it boring and I will surely look forward for his work in future. Although it will be a great mistake to compare this film with other classic films (Motorcycle diaries for e.g.), it is still a mighty attempt. In the mess of larger than life "hero" - 5 songs - big family - 5 fights - 5 comedy tracks formulaic and intolerable films, such films are a breath of fresh air. One of the best films of 2015 in my list so far. Go watch it !!
Its been watch-full

Nani has always been thrilling us with his innovative approach, he strikes again with another good movie. I really love the movie was portrayed, expressing that life is not about money and luxury its about living your life the way you want.
Coming to the artist performance Nani at his best again, Vijay as Rishi played a very good supportive role, playing as Nani's best friend.
The music and background score was pretty cool and loving. Screenplay and editing was awesome. This is as good as I ever seen in recent times.
Bottomline: Watch it if you are looking for some different.Bet me, you wont regret it......

Set with a goal, appeasing his boss for promotion, buying him shares which are not even near picayune or easily obtainable, getting engaged with his daughter, Subramanyam, in his thought process- achieving goals, being rich, having a reputable status and being famous as the only reason and way of life, is a near successful industrialist who is always, at the end of the day, the man of laud at his office.
Rishi, having a thought process which is the binary opposite of his best friend, has always envisioned life as something very valuable and precious. "Not to be wasted on petty things.", he says, "If one day people ask me when was the last time I really enjoyed, I make sure I can tell them it was the right last moment."
Slow paced, tawdry scenes in the first half exist which make you think it's a lackluster but the brilliantly crafted scenes putting you in complete amazement and bliss make you rethink your words. Blending phenomenal music and some of the best character development into play, an engaging cast with direction and execution done aright, Yevade Subramanyam though falling flat in some parts of its first half, shines as something very beautiful and thought provoking for the remnant as it becomes from a story of two best friends of opposite thoughts to a journey of introspection, change and self discovery.

This is the gist of one's life. Movies like this should be played in schools, of course we have other things that is just for our knowledge. Never know when we will die, why should one sacrifice the real and actual happiness for a future we don't know if it exists or not. The movie conveys this message in a clear cut way and the cast did well to bring the ideology to audience in a perfect way. Finally thanks for giving us such a movie to all of them who worked for this movie.
The present way of leading Life can be adjusted and make it memorable!

Any person who is stressed out in his life and running for materialistic matters in his life has to have a look at it, what ever hapiness we get from the materialistic aspects like job, salary, house, car etc cant beat the peace a person attains through out the journey of his life in living every second and making life colourful.
This movie has changed my mind set and made me realize whats more important in life to cherish.

Disappointed!

I expected that this movie would be interesting as overall Imdb rating is high but disappointed after watching it.
Negatives: screenplay, execution, Rishi's character, female lead character. These characters are not clear, the second half is slow and lagging. And the philosophy of rishi is not explained clearly.
Positives: Nani's acting, story, cinematography.

Best movie- shown a path towards self-realization
kondapallieswararao9 March 2020
I wondered after watching this magnificent self realization movie. Especially director nagi, he's really amazing..In the early stage and that too first movie with such a subject succeeded in carrying the soul throughout the movie. Rarely such connect or feeling happens to viewers. Undoubtedly this an unconventional break through film shown an entirely different path to Telugu film industry. All the actors did a fantastic job. Wonderful movie. Thank you so much Naagi!
Feeling so lucky that I had a chance to see this beautiful movie in my life... Soulful

Best film of new telugu cinema

Not a crisis, but still a matter of identity

In a movie called 'Koncham Ishtam koncham kashtam', the female lead's dad is named Subrahmanyam, and there's a song that ridicules him, which the makers of this movie have borrowed for their title. In spite of said 'borrowing', the title actually fits, since our lead (male), without wanting/needing to, gets to question who he really is, even though this is done by those who are close to him, with him questioning the pertinence of that question itself. Nani, as the main lead, has the audience's complete attention and empathy, since those around him seem loud, dramatic, filmy, and even a little insane in comparison.
Also, someone'd remarked that the 2nd half is more like a location documentary on Discovery. It shows the person's ignorance of what a true documentary does, and also indicates that the makers had lost that particular audience-member for the key part of this drama. Not their fault, of course, just goes to show that there is one ignoramus who thankfully purchased a ticket to this movie, but the unfortunate part is that his opinion might be taken seriously by some who might choose to miss out on the theatrical experience.
Nag Ashwin goes analog for this, and though I am a fan of digital camera-work in movies being projected theatrically, looks really good. Both the urban sequences in the 1st half, as well as the on- location sequences in the 2nd.
My reason for watching this, was an opportunity to see Malavika Nair in action once again, after her fantastic performance in 'Cuckoo'. She does not disappoint, getting an author-backed role for sure, but making it her own, nevertheless, in much the same fashion as she did with playing a feisty visually-challenged lass in her breakout role.
Anyway, this is about Nani's character, being one of those we always knew at school, for whom excelling at everything meant the world, and comparisons to the privileged kids ensured a fire in their bellies to go out in the world and make themoolah needed to move up in society from lower/middle class to the have-all upper classes, who do take their fortune/s for granted. This is more about how a virtually irredeemable character such as him, can, quite by accident, and definitely not wanting to, finds eventual redemption (no spoiler there, if you've seen the trailer or read any of the words that are being written as the movie expands its distribution).
Comparisons to 'Gamyam' are inevitable at this point, with Vijay Devarakonda effectively standing in the role that Allari Naresh made iconic (though the characters themselves are miles apart, with Naresh's still standing out). There is also a sense of irony in comparing Nani's character to Gamyam's Sharwanand, and Naresh's to Devarakonda's. A kind of delicious irony. And if 'Gamyam' was missing something, it was a strong female lead, which is effectively compensated for her by Malavika Nair's character, who, surprisingly, also acts as comic relief, which thankfully, occurs organically over the course of the movie's runtime.
Rajesh Vivek, Nasser, Krishnam Raju, Ritu Varma etc. round out the rest of the supporting characters, and perform fine, justifying their casting, but the movie focuses firmly on Nani, Devarakonda and Nair.
One of the best surprises in the movie for me? The inclusion of one of yesteryear's Ilaiyaraja's tracks, 'Challa gaalitaakutunnadi', which has also been picturized almost lovingly, and is placed almost perfectly.
A few nits I'd like to pick, though:
All in all, content-over-style, with great performances and each department complimenting the narration of the tale, as it well should be. Not to be missed, especially on the big screen, and might even merit multiplex viewings. I know I'm gonna watch this once again.

A few nits I'd like to pick, though:
- Nani's character's written in a way that is grounded, while not playing true to character, especially when it comes to conversing with Rajesh Vivek's Pemba in either English or Hindi, which is inconsistent with a person having grown up in Hyderabad (assuming that - its quite possible he grew up in interior Andhra and came to town later), while ensuring Pemba's character doesn't relapse into Telugu unrealistically, once again conflicting with having an American relapse into Telugu during key moments in the flick, that completely took me out of the movie. Pandering to the local audience, but not done consistently. If that was important, why not have Pemba's language follow suit as well?
- While Nani's character's growth is focused on, and his arc is gradual, using a very soft but sure touch, the same is not true for Malavika Nair's character. Every time her character gets into a key scene, it feels like that was shoehorned in, right from her intro, to sequences where it is necessary for Nani to have someone strong to interact with. It helps that local audiences, using to a very high degree of suspension-of-disbelief, might not pick this particular nit, while her performance anchors her character in each frame firmly.
- The non-existent sexual tension between two supposedly heterosexual characters thrown in together for extremely long durations of time, a typical example of sweeping-under-the-carpet if ever there was one. Certain 80s movies did a better job of acknowledging this. However, to be fair, it also could be a realistic depiction of today's mostly frigid generation (not their fault, more to do with cultural dictates taken to heart through years of conditioning). This was very Nolan-esque(except for interactions with Carrie Ann-Moss' character in 'Memento').
- One of the most important threads in the movie, featuring Krishnam Raju's character is, disappointingly, only paid lip-service. There's another spin-off movie in there, which also might act as something that would act as a sort-of message kinda flick, to do with agriculture, organic farming and the like. I do hope someone sees the potential for that, since it just might be that we're forced to get environmentally-conscious as soon as possible.
All in all, content-over-style, with great performances and each department complimenting the narration of the tale, as it well should be. Not to be missed, especially on the big screen, and might even merit multiplex viewings. I know I'm gonna watch this once again.
Failed to meet my expectation
bornstarpratik12 May 2020
Being a Fan of Nani Sir and Vijay, I kept a lot expectation from this movie. The synopsis is very intriguing but somehow not portrayed well. Scenes were magical but character building is very disappointing. It seems they have forcefully put scenes in between. Rishi reminds me of Hrithik Roshan from "Main Prem Ki Deewani Hu" - Too much enthusiasm.
This script can be turned into cult classic movie if interpreted bit deeply.
