‘Jathi Ratnalu’ movie review: Naveen Polishetty sparkles in this nonsensical laugh riot
The HinduWhen the teaser and trailer go viral and keep viewers in splits, there’s always the possibility of the film not meeting expectations. Jathi Ratnalu Cast: Naveen Polishetty, Faria Abdullah, Priyadarshi, Rahul Ramakrishna Direction: Anudeep K V Music: Radhan Srikanth is embarrassed to be called ‘ladies emporium Srikanth’, the store which his dad established in his name, and wants a white collar job so that he can be Cyberabad Srikanth. Srikant falls in love with his neighbour Chitti, but this story isn’t limited to a Jogipet guy speaking broken English falling in love with a girl from a well-to-do family. The wafer-thin plot also doesn’t do justice to the issues that crop up along the way, like the corruption in the sports ministry or the predicament of a local electric company owner. However, Jathi Ratnalu redeems itself in the final courtroom portions and Naveen, who is the backbone of the film, makes every little expression and dialogue count.
