Jilebi Telugu Movie: Artists Review

 Vijaya Bhaskar's son  Sree Kamal on debut worked hard for his role. He is at ease while dancing with full energy. He played the role of a student accordingly showing good emotions and expressions. A little bit of fine-tuning and working on his dialogue delivery and expressions will help him in the future.

Shivani Rajasekhar played the role of a young girl with confidence. She emoted and expressed herself well according to the situation. She played a role that is pivotal to the film's story. Rajendra Prasad got minimum screen presence in the first half but in the second half in the runup to the climax, he showed good emotions and expressions. He with his body language evoked a few laughs.

Sai Kumar Babloo, Ankith Koyya, and Viva Sunny played the roles of Sree Kamal's friends in the film and they with their antics managed to entertain viewers in a few scenes. Murli Sharma got the limited role and he is ok while Chammak Chandra is good in a small role. Others performed according to their roles.

Jilebi Movie: Technicians Review

Jilebi's story readied by Vijaya Bhaskar is a hilarious entertainer. He tried to generate fun with a girl in a boy's hostel. Earlier many such stories or scenes came in many films and Vijaya Bhaskar seems to have drawn inspiration from them. The narration picks up the pace a bit after a routine start with the hero introduced with a youthful foot-tapping song and later the heroine entering his hostel. The dialogues look ordinary and at times look funny to tickle the ribs of the people.

The end of the first half sets the tone for the exciting second half. The second half looks more organized than the second half as Vijaya Bhaskar concentrated on the start of the first half, introducing all the characters and taking his own time. The second half scenes with the warden inspecting the rooms though looked old generated interesting fun.

The black magic scene in the second half is highlighted and taken to another level thanks to Rajendra Prasad's experience and performance. Dialogues of Vijaya Bhaskar looked just ok but at times they created the magic. Vijaya Bhaskar's screenplay is decent in the second half compared to the first half and the direction is ok.

Mani Sharma's couple of songs are youthful and foot-tapping. The introduction song shot on Sree Kamal highlighted his dancing skills. The song is shot in a lavish and exotic way in the beautiful Bangkok locations. The other song was shot on Shivani and others acted as a speed breaker and the song has a hilarious tinge. Mani Sharma's background score is in sync with the storyline.

MR. Varma's editing is ok and could have been better as there are quite a few scenes that are repetitive and impacted the film's tempo. Satish Muthyala with his cinematography beautified the film turning it colorful. Production values of  Vijaya Bhaskar Kraft, SRK Arts, and Anju Asrani Kreations banners are good.

Jilebi (2023) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Jilebi is a hilarious entertainer. Vijaya Bhaskar penned the story and directed it to propel his son Sree Kamal on the big screen. Vijaya Bhaskar's idea to launch his son in a light-hearted hilarious entertainer is appreciable. He came up with an interesting plot and included hilarious scenes to entertain everyone. The story turned out to be simple and screenplay is decent and the direction is ok. Reworking the script and adding a few Genex ideas and thoughts getting experienced and most happening people in the industry would have helped the film to take off to another level. Considering all these points, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 Rating.
