We have recently seen or heard many news articles about rich business men sending off their sons to remote places to get drift of common mans life and to make them understand how difficult it is to earn money.

ABCD deals the same point though it is official remake of Dulquer Salmaan starrer Malayalam comedy movie ABCD (2013).

The plot point has enough material to weave an interesting drama out of it. However, this Telugu remake has failed on many fronts from the beginning itself.

The scenes created for entertainment are awfully cliched. The sequences written to evoke sentiment too are quite predictable. And the narration is flat from the beginning to end.

One of the reasons why the film has created buzz is the song of Mella Mellaga. Sadly, this is placed at a time (second half) when audiences start losing the interest in the developments.

Movies with little twists and turns and paper thin storylines work only when the romantic scenes on the lead pair look fresh and comic sequences even great laughs. ABCD lacks both the qualities.

Casting of Allu Sirish for this role itself is a bad decision. This character requires someone who has comic timing, who can enliven the mundane scenes with his energy. Though Sirish has rich kids looks, he has not able to get into the role. His passive acting has further aggravated the routineness.

Sometime back, a video clip of I News anchor Krishna Mohan went viral. Vennela Kishores character is designed on Krishna Mohan which is quite funny.

While the first half of the movie focusses on Allu Sirish and Bharaths rich lifestyle, the second half has focused on how he understands the meaning of life but too many necessary scenes are cooked up. the entire thread of young politician played by Raja is a deviation.

This is another case of good plot point is wasted by uneven narration.
