Viraj Ashwin, the breakout star of the acclaimed film Baby, is back with Joruga Husharuga. The trailer has captured the audience’s attention, and the film’s post-release reception remains to be seen. The storyline revolves around the love story of Santosh and Nitya, taking an unexpected turn when Nitya joins Santosh’s workplace, sparking feelings from his boss Anand. Simultaneously, Santosh’s father anxiously awaits the repayment of a Rs 20 Lakh debt, setting off a chain of events that Santosh must navigate. The resolution of these events forms the climax of the story. At the trailer launch, Buchi Babu Sana lauded the content, extending best wishes to Viraj Ashwin, and acknowledging his positive image from Baby. He expressed optimism for Jorugaa Husharugaa to triumph at the box office and conveyed good luck to director Anu Prasad and producer Nireesh, signalling confidence in the film’s bright prospect.
Performances
Viraj Ashwin carries the film admirably, showcasing significant growth as an actor. His improved expressions and increased believability in his character are evident. However, the role doesn’t offer anything entirely new compared to his previous work. Siri Hanumanth and Poojitha Ponnada deliver decent performances but play roles with limited impact on the narrative. The supporting cast, featuring Sai Kumar, Rohini, Madhunandan, and others, all contribute effectively to their roles.
Technical Aspects
It appears that the film’s director lost a clear narrative direction midway, introducing various elements that create a sense of inconsistency. Joruga Husharuga oscillates between being a rom-com and a father-sentiment film, making it feel disjointed and hindering emotional connection with the audience. The screenplay lacks proper establishment for the depicted emotions, contributing to an overall sense of confusion. A more coherent approach to establishing emotions could have significantly improved the audience’s experience with the film.
The cinematography stands out as a major highlight in the film, complemented by an adequate background score. However, the songs leave little impact and are forgettable. While the production values are decent, the editing falls short of expectations.
Verdict
Joruga Husharuga has promising emotions that unfortunately don’t deliver, resulting in a mixed bag that doesn’t neatly fit into any category and can be skipped.
