Analysis:
Iddari Lokam Okate is an official remake of a Turkish drama Love Likes Coincidences. The film was released in 2011.
By now, many of the sequences the thread of childhood episodes between two lovers and angle of star crossed lovers meeting again and again have already been used in several other Telugu movies.
Except for the climax portion of the Turkish drama, the rest of it has already been rehashed by the Telugu filmmakers.
Iddari Lokam Okate is mostly faithful to the original movie but it lacks the novelty factor. This kind of romantic dramas works when they get things correct 1) entertainment 2) music. This Raj Tarun and Shalini Pandey drama count low on these two things.
The weak characterization of Raj Taruns friend (played by Bharat) is enough proof that the writers and director have missed the opportunity to tell it entertainingly.
The scenes of Shalini Pandey acting experiments are quite boring. The childhood episodes also lack impact. The films biggest strength is its penultimate portions. But such emotional drama needs a better narration.
Iddari Lokam Okate is not a bad film but what it lacks is freshness. Among Raj Taruns recent outings, this one is better but this is not sufficient. Familiarity is the biggest drawback of this movie.
