Beautiful

Priyank is a decent find and does well in his hero’s role. He shares good chemistry with the heroine Naina and also does well in all the emotional and romantic scenes in the first half. He has also danced well in the film. 

The film is fully focused on the songs and Naina Ganguly’s glamor. The story is simple and has been tweaked here and there from Rangeela and many other films. The conflict point of the film is good but the manner in which it is narrated is horrible. 

On the whole, Beautiful is yet another dud from RGV’s compound and does not have anything going it’s way. 

Beautiful is the classic tale of the manic pixie gone famous despite not looking for it, still in love with her poor boyfriend who doesn’t always understand her, misunderstandings crop up between them, but they patch up in the end (no spoiler there), yada yada yada.

Rini (Naina Ganguly) and Mayank (Parth Suri) are two poor, yet much-in-love people from Dharavi and their characters are the gen-next versions yet poor caricatures of Mili and Munna from Rangeela.

Beautiful is definitely not a film to expect a lot out of. But when it fails to at least engage, it turns into nothing but a headache inducing experience.

Conceived and co-produced by Ram Gopal Varma, 'Beautiful' is a kindergarten-level script with extremely amateurish making values from the word go. It takes just about five minutes into this mindless fare for the audience to realize that the content is diametrically opposite of what is conveyed by the film's title.

The heroine's manager is characterized to seem like a low-quality don from Mumbai, a bugger without a cause.  Sometimes, he behaves like the heroine's cocky father trying to save his daughter from a slumdog.

Some 'Rangeela', a smattering of 'Raja', two boozing scenes, three beach scenes/songs, a male lead who might have been a rapist in a Boyapati Srinu movie, a script that is fit only to be a tissue paper.
