Story
Priya (Priya Bannerjee) lives in San
Francisco with her parents but due to the strict restrictions from her
parents and forced marriage, she runs away from house to commit suicide.
Sunny (Adivi Sesh) comes to her rescue and makes her learn life is
beautiful. In the short period, the duo falls in love and meanwhile,
Priya’s parents and fiancée are in search of the lady. The rest forms
the story.
Performances
Adivi Sesh looks good in few scenes and he performs well. Priya Banerjee looks bubbly and she plays her part convincingly.
Bharat Reddy is wasted in insignificant role, Shafi is noticeable, others weren’t upto the mark.
Technical analysis
Cinematography is classy and San
Fransisco locales are beautifully captured. Music is okay while the
background score could have been apt to the situational proceedings.
Editing is pathetic. Lots of unnecessary scenes in the second half could
have been trimmed down, Adivi Sesh scores in acting but as director he
couldn’t leave his mark. Screenplay is awful. Production values are
standard.
Analysis
Kiss story is routine while the
screenplay is awful with inconsistent flow and loads of predictable
scenes in the second half. The story moves on a boring note right from
the word go and added to this the performances of supporting cast gets
on to our nerves. Neither the comedy works nor the romantic scenes
between the leads work for the Kiss film instead it makes the audiences
loose patience and look for climax. Kiss has little entertainment but it
goes in vain due to the staleness and illogical sequences. Editor
should have sharpened his scissors to trim down unnecessary stuff
especially the dragging scenes in the second half. The narration is
dragging while the presentation is unconvincing giving an amateur
attempt.
Final Verdict
Amateur attempt by Adivi Sesh
