Virinchi Varma’s direction is good, as a first timer, he leaves is mark in direction department. Dialogues are impressive.

Analysis

Uyyala Jampala is set in a village backdrop and offers a pleasant experience. Debutant director Virinchi Varma leaves his mark as director though it had its own flaws. The genre or the story is not new to Telugu audiences as we have seen similar films of two youngsters realizing their love after growing up together and sharing love-hate relationship. Nuvve Kavali, Nuvvu Leka Nenu Lenu are similar such stories but what makes Uyyala Jampala different from the formers is the village backdrop and pleasant viewing experience. The dialogues are natural and characters are quite near to real-life.

While the first half offers entertainment with cousins fights and silly revenges, the second half offers emotional quotient and the pre-climax is impressive with heart-warming dialogues. The film had its own flaws with pace drops here and there, and the abrupt climax end. Also, the second half is too predictable without thrills.

Nevertheless, Clean entertainment, lead performances and the pleasant village backdrop locales makes Uyyala Jampala a pleasant watch.
