Movie Verdict
Kalapuram features a slew of well-known comedians, but the film’s main story is really about the filmmakers themselves and their struggles to get their films made. On the other hand, you’ll probably be bored by most of the rest of the film.
Well, the beginning is intriguing since it demonstrates how difficult it is for the filmmaker to get a producer, but then it falls into a standard commercial zone with silly comedy and characters that don’t contribute anything to the tale. Even though the second part of the film is more engaging because Satyam Rajesh begins filming in Kalapuram village, the film ultimately fails to engage because of its predictable finale.
Jabaradast Apparao works well in his part, Chitram Seenu is serviceable, and the rest of the cast does a fantastic job with the material they were given. To say that Satyam Rajesh excels in his role would be an understatement.
Karuna Kumar creates a compelling narrative, but he lacks the filmmaking chops to bring it to the big screen. Although he tries, he just can’t seem to catch the film’s overarching mood, which is disappointing given the quality of the material.
On paper, Kalapuram shouldn’t be a problem. The majority of Prasad G.K.’s cinematography is solid, the score by Manisharma is what ultimately rescued the film, and everyone else involved in making the movie did a fine job as well.
Last but not least, Kalapuram is a movie worth seeing once if you’re stuck in a cinematic rut.
Rating: 3/5
