Talented Kollywood actor Bobby Simha is a known name in Tollywood as well. He was recently seen in ‘Waltair Veerayya’ and did a crucial role in ‘Disco Raja’ as well. He became successful in Tamil film industry despite coming from Telugu states. Though he acted beside Chiranjeevi in ‘Waltair Veerayya’, many felt that the director did not use him to the best of his abilities. He recently arrived with ‘Vasantha Kokila’ as a solo hero.
There was no buzz on this movie despite Chiranjeevi himself launching the trailer. Competing with Kalyan Ram’s ‘Amigos’ did not help the film’s box office prospects at all. This movie is a psychological-horror thriller. Vexed with his boring job, a young guy takes his lover for a small trip and plans have a good time. On their way, they stop in a hotel named ‘Vasantha Kokila’ and it is in the middle of the forest. Strange things start to happen there and what happens next forms the rest of the story.
Director Raman Purushottaman’s narration was confusing and haphazard which provided not many thrills in ‘Vasantha Kokila’. Though the interval episode was designed quite well, what happens before and after that lacked strong content which made the audience feel a bit bored. Arya’s special cameo did not help too and it is proved again that a talented character artist cannot be the hero for an ordinary movie. Looks like Bobby Simha has to wait for some more time to fulfill his wish of becoming a solo hero.
