Sethamma Vakitlo Sirimalli Chettu (SVSC) rides high on emotions and human values. This is what we have been, time and again writing in our film columns but today for a change let us have a look at how certain subtle messages had been delivered during the course of narration.
In the second half, Kota Srinivasarao meets injured Prakash Raj (Relangi Mavayya) and expresses that the boy he saved from the accident was his brother's son. He said that many a times he had tried disregarding Relangi Mavayya, in the company of the Rao Ramesh (heroine's father). However on that day realized that it is more important to be nice than anything else. Our busy lives have no room for our own family and where do we have time for others. But if we could adapt, then life is filled with enormous joy.
Rao Ramesh in the end realizes that Prakash Raj and family had emerged far superiors than he ever imagined, due to their outstanding service to save people when the celebrations at the Temple were hampered by a short circuit. They even save him in spite of he insulting them several times. This is another aspect that is mostly neglected by us, we feel what could we do single-handedly. But in reality even huge numbers start with 'ONE.' On another occasion Ramesh says,' common man lives between hopes and fears.' Only when one tides over this feeling will he be successful.
The scene were a groom comes to see Seetha (Anjali) is another magical one. Though she harbors love for her eldest cousin (Venkatesh), she bows to the decision of her uncle whom she revers. But in the process, also prays that her heartthrob calls her as he just comes back from outside. That scene shows how well a family must be. Seetha frequently says ' I feel it will happen' while there are no logic behind it, the incident definitely happens. Then it dawns on us that this simpleton is only innocent but not ignorant. Owing to our concrete assignments and hectic lobbying we have turned deaf to intuitions.
The brothers Peddodu and Chinnodu (Venaktesh and Mahesh Babu) show profound intimacy which off late is disappearing in our modern society. Our lives have become more self-centered, to such an extent that we fail to look beyond our own family (hubby+wife and kids). Whereas the duo smile, fight, mourn but only together. Without one another they feel life meaningless.
Lastly the father of the duo reveals the ultimate truth of life, that only goodness remains with each other till the end. We only live once and make this most memorable. All through the film Prakash Raj does only two things he either smiles or wishes good of the other person. How many people do we come across such people in our day-to day lives.
SVSC is a reel mirror to human psychology but in reality, it is overlapped by human desires, greed and attitude. The film had met tremendous success, as it depicts what we aspire but cannot adhere and would like to see our dream come true at least on the large screen. However even if we muster courage to be our original self we fear that we will be taken for a ride by our own people, who might not accept this conviction. And by the time we start accepting this fact, our 30s turn into 60s and then it makes no difference as to how we are........(Wishesh AarKay)
