Sambhavami Yuge Yuge is a movie that’s alien to all cultures. Lifted from the Brazilian movie ‘City of God’ this movie neither fits the Brazilian movie scene nor appeals to the Indian (Tollywood) moviegoers. Sambhvami Yuge Yuge is precariously positioned in the land of unknown. It imitates samba, to present a kuchipudi only to fall flat.


Pathetic direction + pitiable acting= A grotesque movie that constantly prompts you to run away from theatre, bawling.


In which part of India do you find teenagers wearing shorts (not the boxer type) and going about their businesses? Every guy who reaches 5th grade starts dreaming of full-length pants, even in villages. Other than their homes or residential areas you won’t find a single guy above 12 years in shorts. And the shorts that are worn in India are boxer shorts mostly, not the type worn by tennis stars of the nineties. Yes, in Brazil they do wear that type of shorts. The costume, the hairstyles and the sideburns sported by the characters in Sambhavami Yuge Yuge are out and out Brazilian. But they speak Telugu, which makes them look like aliens.


In India drug related gang wars are there but they are less common. Moreover the drugs, the guns and the numerous killings in drug related gang wars as shown in this movie are typical Brazilian issues that do not go down well with the Indian audience. Drug is a big South American problem about which even the USA is concerned. In India it has not reached the proportions that the movie depicts.


To copy or imitate art is no easy job. A movie may be an impressive piece of artwork in one language but may fail in another language when the director is too much caught up in the original version and fails to relate to the target audience.


In every frame of the movie, the director’s as well as the actor’s limitations are blatantly exposed. The saving graces in the movie are the songs and the music. The heroine Srijana might get noticed for her girl-next-door looks.


The bottom line – don’t watch this movie. Pick up an argument with your kid brother, read your friend’s horrible poems or clean dad’s car, do whatever you can but just don’t watch this movie.
