Film Review: Ami Thumi
Film: Ami Thumi
Cast: Avasarala Srinivas, Adivi Sesh, Vennela Kishore, Eesha Rebba and Aditi Myakal
Director: Mohana Krishna Indraganti
Music: Mani Sharma
Producer: KC Narsimha Rao
Director Mohan Krishna Indraganti is known for choosing plots which are not run-of-the-mill kind. This time he has come up with a slapstick comedy which has been missing for a regular movie buffs of late. His last outing Gentleman fared well at the box office and actor Advi Sesh and Avsrala's last film were received well by the audience. So does this film continue the purple patch for the trio?
Story
The film is a romantic comedy based on lives of four characters - Adivi Sesh, Eesha and Srinivas Avasarala, Aditi. The two young couples Advi and Eesha, Avasarala and Aditi fall for one another, but what forms a twist in the tale is with the entry of Vennela Kishore (Shree Chilipi). As the name suggests he does all naughty and weird stuff which makes the lives of the two couples topsy-turvy. What happens with the entry of Vennela Kishore forms the crux of the story.
Performances
Advi and Avsrala delivered a bang on performance and it is needless to say how good the latter is. The Two Telugu girls who have next door image justified their roles and never went overboard. But the person who hogged the limelight and must be given credit for carrying the movie on his shoulder is Vennela Kishore. After the entry of the comedian a tinge of humor seeps in and you are sure to laugh your guts out with his comic timing in almost every frame of his.
Technical
The filmmaker has a track record of giving importance to production values in his films. And this film too has been short aesthetically brilliant. Though it's a low budget film but one can't underscore in rich locales and good background score. The first half certainly keeps you engaged with the interval being precise. Despite the second half falling in pace Vennala Kishore's quirky lines runs the show.
Verdict
One time watchable fare to have laugh riot.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
