Oke Oka Jeevitham Telugu Movie 2022 Review: Srikarthik’s sci-fi movie ‘Oke Oke Kiyavan’ starring Sharvanand as the protagonist. Produced jointly by SR Prakash Babu and SR Prabhu. Amala Akkineni plays the hero’s mother and Ritu Verma plays the heroine. Vennela Kishore, Priyadarshi, and Nazar played the lead roles. The film hit the screens on Friday. How is this movie?

Story: Aadi (Sharwanand) is a guitarist. Chaitu (Priyadarshi) sees relationships as if getting married is the goal of life. Srinu (‘Vennela’ Kishore) is a broker who shows houses to people looking for a rental house… All three are friends since childhood. Adi’s mother (Amala Akkineni) encourages him to take steps towards music at an early age. She dies twenty years ago. 

In Adi’s mind, there is pain and motherlessness. One day he goes with Sreenu and meets the scientist Rangi Kutta Pal (Nazar). He says that he will send him back twenty years and reunite him with his mother. To that, Aadi says ok. Along with him, Chaitu and Srinu also go back in time. What happened after that? Can the assignment be changed? Or? You have to watch the movie to know.

Analysis: Life doesn’t give second chances to anyone. If such an opportunity comes .. can we change our destiny! The story written by director Srikarthik is ‘Oke Eka Kiyavan’ taking the point. Since it is not possible to go from one period to another in real life… it seems new if such a thing is happening on screen. Now time travel concept movies are not new to them. Recently ‘Bimbisara’ came. succeeded. And, the new point in ‘Oke Oke Keevan’ is the director’s way of directing the story. 

Till the interval, the story of ‘Oke Eka Jeevan’ went on normally. A son who is estranged from his mother and misses her… Another young man who yearns for marriage… Another young man who faces difficulties in life due to lack of education… There is nothing new in the story. However, as the movie runs, there are no major complaints. The interval twist creates interest in the second half. 

What happens after that? Increases curiosity. Gives a thrill. In the second half, after the mother sentiment and emotion took the front seat… the speed of the screenplay slowed down. The stretch is increased. However, going slower makes the length feel longer. Sharva, Amala, and the little kids stand up with their performances in some scenes. It would have been better if the movie had been racy after the interval.

How the actors did it..: Sharwanand once again shined as an actor. Although there are no dialogues in the emotionally charged scenes with Akkineni Amala, only gestures are conveyed through the eyes. He gave a good performance in the scope of the role. It will be new to see Akkineni as a mother. Freshness came from taking her instead of regular, seasonal artists and senior heroines. 

‘Vennela’ Kishore has shown in some scenes that he is not only a comedian but also an artist. Laughed during scenes. Priyadarshi is fine. And Ritu Varma has acted well in the role of Nasser as a scientist… hero’s girlfriend. The highlight of Ritu Varma’s emotions is in the scene where the little boy calls ‘Akka’. ‘Master’ Jai Aditya, who played the hero’s childhood role, will be remembered for years. It was not common to do such emotional scenes at that age. Along with Jai Aditya, two other girls also did well.

Finally…: ‘Oke Eka Kiyavan’… a movie made with a different point of view from the regular movies. ‘Oke Ek Jeevan’ makes the audience laugh and tears here and there. It also gives a short message at the end.
