The audience member witnessing ‘Virata Parvam’ is immediately bombarded with conventional wisdom and cliches. Vennela (Sai Pallavi) is taught by her father, “Only two days in life are meaningful: the day we were born and the day we discover why we were born.” In the early days of the Internet, the quote was a fantastic viral E-mail. Then there’s Ravanna’s (Rana Daggubati) revolutionary poetry, whose lines are brimming with explosive passion but have lost their energy due to the continuous usage of stolen lingo in both folk traditions and mainstream culture.

Director Venu Udugula saves the most important scenes for the final act. The touching climax has a sad tone to it. Even so, if Ravanna’s character hadn’t been so poorly developed, this stretch could have been even more heartbreaking. He needs to express himself verbally by yelling at the top of his lungs. We understand he’s a Maoist. But why make Maoism synonymous with flamboyant poetry, Laal Salaam-ing, and loud declarations/denunciations?

Vennela is the author of the narrative. As a result, ‘Virata Parvam’ is the most heroine-centric novel about Naxal combat and the state’s retaliation. After secretly reading Ravanna’s illegal work, Vennela falls in love with him. She begins to fantasise of a life with him in the war-torn forest.

Ravanna is a mythic person in Vennela’s eyes, deserving of the reverence Mirabai lavished on Lord Krishna. She is a hopeless romantic who, in a predictable course of events, turns to romanticised Naxalism. If the conflict scenes between the Maoists and the police had been the ONLY unimaginative bits, ‘Virata Parvam’ would have been a forgivable film. Thankfully, even Vennela’s odd love for Ravanna isn’t staged with poetic fancy. The only thing that stops the love tale from becoming ridiculous and weak is Sai Pallavi’s magnificent performance.

Vennela’s surreal love affair with a man who is unaware of her existence has a frenetic quality to it. Even when he isn’t on screen, this man is expected to have a commanding presence. This idea needed a sprinkle of excellent writing because of its theatricality. Vennela’s transformation from a common girl to a rare lover girl should have been plausible. However, it comes across as straightforward and unsophisticated. Vennela’s willpower and capacity to battle in life-or-death situations aren’t credible either.

There are no visual highs in the battles between the radicals and the cardboard cops. Themes such as incarceration violence, police torture, and continual surveillance of suspects/villagers are brought up again and again. A top cop (played by Banerjee) introduces Mahabharata’s Virata Parvam to his boss in the middle of a meeting designed to devise an anti-Maoist strategy in an inadvertently amusing sequence. Try to figure out why he does it. To inform him of the need to hire a spy. Clearly, the boss never went to the police school.

The film has a habit of appearing pretentious when it comes to jargon related to or surrounding Maoists. ‘State phobia,’ for example, is thrown around with the glee of a kid learning about radicals for the first time. But these are small issues in comparison to how Ravanna is made to appear as if he needs life lessons from Vennela on one occasion. Isn’t it because he’s flawless that Vennela adores him?

Nandita Das’ character contributes to the plot, but Zarina Wahab’s mother will be remembered for the overly emotional interaction she has with her son. Naveen Chandra and Priyamani are passable, but Sai Chand, among the supporting cast, steals the show. The cinematography in the picture is outstanding. The BGM is adequate.

Pippa is a difficult film due to its delay.

Introduction: The process of filmmaking is often a complex and unpredictable journey, with numerous factors that can contribute to delays and challenges. One such film that has faced its fair share of obstacles is “Pippa.” This highly anticipated project, directed by Raja Krishna Menon, has encountered delays, leaving both the cast and eager audiences eagerly awaiting its release. In this blog post, we delve into the reasons behind the difficulties faced by “Pippa” and the potential impact of its delayed release.

The Initial Excitement: When “Pippa” was initially announced, it garnered considerable excitement and anticipation among cinema enthusiasts. The film, based on the book “The Burning Chaffees” by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, tells the story of India’s iconic tank battle during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971. With a promising cast and an intriguing plot, “Pippa” had all the ingredients to become a highly anticipated film.

Unforeseen Hurdles: Despite the initial enthusiasm surrounding “Pippa,” the film has encountered unexpected hurdles that have led to its delay. The complexities of production, including scheduling conflicts, technical challenges, or even financial constraints, can all contribute to the delay of a film. These obstacles often arise during the filmmaking process, requiring adjustments, additional resources, and sometimes even a complete reevaluation of the project’s timeline.

The Impact on Cast and Crew: Delays in film production not only affect the release date but also impact the cast and crew involved in the project. For actors, it can mean prolonged commitments to a single project, potentially causing conflicts with other professional opportunities. Similarly, the crew members invested in the film may face uncertainties regarding job security and financial stability. The delays can take a toll on morale and enthusiasm, requiring additional patience, resilience, and adaptability from the entire team.

Audience Anticipation: When a highly anticipated film faces delays, it can be disheartening for the audience eagerly awaiting its release. Moviegoers build expectations and invest emotionally in the anticipation of a film they are excited about. Extended delays may lead to frustration, diminishing the initial excitement and causing some to lose interest in the project. Maintaining audience engagement during the delay becomes a challenge for the filmmakers and the marketing team.

Mitigating the Impact: While the delay of “Pippa” may be disappointing, it is essential to acknowledge the efforts made by the filmmakers to overcome the challenges and bring the vision to fruition. Communication with the audience, providing regular updates on the progress, and sharing behind-the-scenes content can help maintain interest and engagement. Transparency and open dialogue can go a long way in building understanding and patience among the audience.

The Potential Payoff: Despite the difficulties faced by “Pippa,” it is crucial to remember that setbacks in the film industry are not uncommon. Some of the most celebrated films in history have encountered delays and obstacles during their production. With the dedication, perseverance, and talent of the cast and crew, “Pippa” has the potential to surpass expectations and deliver an exceptional cinematic experience.
