Chaavu Kaburu Challaga (2021)
Basthi Balaraju (Kartikeya Gummakonda) falls for a young widow called Mallika (Lavanya Tripathi) even as he transports her husband’s body to the grave. With everyone telling him he’s wrong to woo her, how does he manage to win her over?
Hearse driver Basthi Balaraju (Kartikeya) has seen too much death in a short span of time – so much so that he doesn’t believe there’s something monumental in one’s passing. He does something a ‘hero’ is not expected to do – fall in love with the young widow Mallika (Lavanya Tripathi) even as he carries her husband’s dead body to the grave. But what he does next is what any ‘hero’ in commercial cinema would do – stalk and harass her despite her apparent disgust and even police involvement. Because love can face any hurdle. Mallika reasons that she values life because she works at the maternity ward and sees the beauty in it every day while he sees the reality in death. There is philosophy in this film that lies deep within all the drama..

Though “Chaavu Kaburu Chalalga” is peppered with some dramatic and emotional moments in the final portion, it doesn’t move us at all. At most times, the proceedings look ridiculous and bizarre..

To sum up, “Chaavu Kaburu Challaga” doesn’t work entirely, though certain sequences in the second half are appealing and Kartikeya’s performance stands out.
Bottom-line: Cold Narration.

Though there are a few laughs in the first half they could not save the film. Dialogues are good though some turn preachy. The climax is routine and predictable. There are lack of scenes that elevate the movie. Chavu Kaburu Challaga ends up as a lost chan.

All in all, Chaavu Kaburu Challaga is not up to the mark. The film botches mainly due to lack of emotional connect. Though comedy works in parts and Kartikeya gave his best, we feel something is missing. You may like the film if you don’t care about log.

Chaavu Kaburu Challaga is an attempt that never appeals to the audience. A major surprise for the audience would be how Geetha Arts backed such an attempt..

On the whole, Chaavu Kaburu Challaga is a different love story with a unique premise. The emotions are neat but the love story is dull. Karthikeya does well in his role and holds the film for the most part. The film has some decent emotions at regular int.

Chaavu Kaburu Challaga dares to go where few films would – show that a woman’s life does not have to end, begin and revolve around her family. If only the film was surefooted enough to deliver that message..
