Silly Fellows

Silly Fellows is a 2018 Indian Telugu-language comedy film directed by Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao and produced by Kiran Reddy. The film features an engaging ensemble cast, led by the appealing comic duo of Allari Naresh and Sunil. The supporting roles are played by well-known actors such as Shamna Kasim, Chitra Shukla, Jayaprakash Reddy, and others. The film was released on September 7, 2018, and received an overall positive response from audiences for its captivating comedy sequences and engaging storyline.

The film primarily revolves around the befuddling comical journeys of Veerababu (Allari Naresh) and Suri Babu (Sunil), two simpletons whose lives intertwine in a series of unpredictable and hilarious circumstances. Veerababu and Suri Babu are friends from a smaller hamlet, where their antics are well-known and often land them into trouble, offering many chances for light-hearted humor and comic relief.

Veerababu is a small-time tailor who dreams of making it big in life, while Suri Babu is a narcoleptic with a job as a beautician. Their lives take a topsy-turvy turn when they unwittingly cross paths with a local MLA Jacket Jaanaki Ram (Jayaprakash Reddy). The MLA, known for his corrupt practices, is a comically feared figure in the village. The interaction between the two friends and the eccentric MLA forms the crux of the story, resulting in a roller coaster of humor, twists, and turns.

In addition to the performances of the lead actors, the film also stands out for its supporting performances. Shamna Kasim as Sita, pairs up with Allari Naresh and brings a bubbly charm to her role, while Chitra Shukla, playing the love interest of Sunil, has a relatively smaller yet influential role.

The storyline of Silly Fellows is peppered with carefully constructed slapstick comedy and quick-witted dialogues, which are the bedrock of this comedy-driven film. Director Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao, known for his previous successful comedies, adds his distinctive touch to the film with a fine balance of humor and narrative flow. The screenplay of the movie is filled with eccentric characters and funny situations, woven into an intriguing plot which makes it an enjoyable watch.

On the technical front, the film is well made. The cinematography by Anish Tharun Kumar gives the film an appealing look, capturing the essence of a small village milieu with noticeable precision. Sri Vasanth's music is another highlight, with catchy tracks and peppy background score that suit the tone and feel of the film.

On the whole, Silly Fellows, as the name suggests, is a fun-filled comedy riot, offering a generous dose of laughter and entertainment. The movie wins the hearts with its effortless comedy, thanks to the stellar performance by the cast, especially the two leads who are known for their impeccable comic timing and on-screen camaraderie.

Allari Naresh, with his witty comic timing and casual yet convincing acting skills, is the life of the film. His rapport with Sunil is an appealing facet of the movie. On the other hand, Sunil, who made a comeback in a full-length comic role on the Silver screen, has done justice to his part and sustains the humor quotient with his excellent expressions and punch-lines.

The film is an excellent choice for anyone seeking to experience a vibrant and entertaining comedy that is filled with humorous twists and turns. Silly Fellows is not just a film but a comical extravaganza that guarantees to tickle the funny bones and keep viewers engaged from start to finish. Despite its simple plot, the movie is a delightful watch due to its vibrant performances, cleverly written dialogues, and its inherent humor. This movie is a testament to the fact that light-hearted, feel-good films still have a special place in the hearts of the viewers.
