Small-budget comedy drama Mithra Mandali starring Priyadarshi and Niharika NM was promoted well and now the film is out in theatres. Let’s see how it is.
Chaitanya (Priyadarshi), Satvik (Vishnu Oi), Abhi (Rag Mayuri), and Rajeev (Prasad Behra) are a group of good-for-nothing friends. Abhi and Satvik fall for Swecha (Niharika NM), the daughter of a politician and Chaitanya helps in this process, but little do they know that they all are about to get caught in a deep mess.
Plus Points:
Some fun sequences in both halves work well in isolation. They may not be extraordinary, but the silly moments and the innocence of the four friends bring a smile to your face. The film leans on situational comedy, which clicks to some extent.
The best part of Mithra Mandali is the “Important Character” played by Satya. He has truly become an actor with the Midas touch. Every time Satya appears on screen, he leaves the audience in splits. The concept behind his unique characterization is amusing.
Priyadarshi delivers a good performance in a fun-filled role. Vishnu Oi, Rag Mayur, and Prasad Behra try their best to generate laughs, even when the writing doesn’t fully back them. Niharika NM is decent in her portrayal.
Minus Points:
Mithra Mandali is a Jathi Ratnalu-esque comedy drama, but what worked well for the latter were the non-stop punches despite the silly nature of the Story. Mithra Mandali doesn’t have enough meat to hold our attention throughout and also slips into boredom after a certain point.
At the beginning, the makers mentioned that the film doesn’t have a Story, but that self-aware satirical quote doesn’t click, as the humor doesn’t fully land. When there isn’t a reasonable plotline to buy into, the film should weave magic with its narrative and make us forget the flaws without giving any breathing space.
The second half, in particular, is dragged unnecessarily, and the momentum drops heavily here as the film goes off track. The editing is below par, making the movie feel lengthy despite the runtime being short.
The fun moments are scattered in both halves, but the film doesn’t have a strong screenplay to bind those scenes together. At times, the comedy feels forced, and the writing could have been much better.
Technical Aspects:
RR Dhruvan’s songs and background score are quirky in nature which aligns well with the film’s theme. Siddharth J’s cinematography is decent and so are the production values. The editing isn’t satisfactory.
Coming to director Vijayender S, he did a below par job with the film. While a few moments show promise, there is still a lot left to be desired. The comedy is a mixed big in Mithra Mandali. The second half lacks a clear direction, making the film lose its grip.
Verdict:
On the whole, Mithra Mandali tries to be a wacky entertainer but doesn’t quite succeed in its attempt. While there are a few fun-inducing moments, the movie largely bores and lacks a strong narrative to hold everything together. Priyadarshi and the rest of the cast try their best to entertain, but the underwhelming writing and a dragged-out second half keep it very far from satisfactory.
Digitpatrox Rating: 2.5/5
