F2 - Fun & Frustration movie review: Venkatesh and Varun Tej don the comedy hats and shine bright

If you want to have a loud laugh and have a great time in the cinema hall, watch F2 - Fun & Frustration this weekend for it has all the elements worth your money. Venkatesh Daggubati and Varun Tej join hands for the first time and deliver a laugh riot that will make you walk out of the cinema halls with a smile. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, F2 has uncountable moments which will crack you up and will make you fall off your chair, almost! Known for making humour-filled films, Anil Ravipudi delivers yet another hilarious ride with F2 and sets the mood right for the upcoming festival season.

What's it about:

Venkatesh (Venky) is a Personal Assistant to a local MLA who gets married to Tamannaah (Harika) - an independent woman working in a bank. Varun Tej (Varun Yadav) is in love with Mehreen (Honey) who is a self-obsessed artist. Venky has a jolly life for six months into the marriage and then starts getting frustrated. From in-laws coming to the rescue of his wife to learning that his sister-in-law is in love with Varun, Venky sees it all but is stuck in the tangle of marriage, he feels. The frustration hits the pinnacle and then things start going haywire which lead to a series of incidents that will leave you in splits.

What's Hot:

Venkatesh owns his role majestically and sets the screens on fire. Having done humourous films like Nuvvu Naaku Nachaav, Venkatesh is known for his comedy timing. But with F2, he takes it to next level. Varun Tej joins the party and cracks it up in his own style. Varun gets the Telangana accent to perfection and never gets diverted. Sharing screen space with a veteran like Venkatesh, Varun Tej doesn't let the nerves get to him and delivers a memorable performance. Tamannaah Bhatia brings a new dimension to her performance and plays her part to conviction. While she looks convincing as a harassing wife, she also keeps it balanced as a caring one. Mehreen's role seems to be meant to be the one who is self-obsessed and wants appreciation from everyone, and the young actress pulls it off convincingly. 'Honey is the best!' is her trademark expression and Mehreen does it perfectly. Supporting actors like Rajendra Prasad, Jhansi, Pragati, veteran actresses Annapurna and Y Vijaya and many others join the party and will give you enough ROFL moments. Priyadarshi, playing Varun's friend, stands out in his scenes with Venkatesh and Varun. To work greatly, comedy needs perfect sound timing as well and Devi Sri Prasad out beats all his previous works with F2.

What's Not:

The first half flies like a jet and you wouldn't realise when you are heading out to pick up a bucket of popcorn. But after you're back, the ride slows down a bit. The tone set by the first half gradually starts falling apart and it gets a bit tough towards the end. Lines like 'Anthe Ga' and 'Honey is the best' will start boring you and may test your patience.

BL Verdict:

Anil Ravipudi comes with another hilarious ride with F2 - Fun & Frustration which is a true rib-tickler this weekend. Do not miss this waggish ride which will leave you with numerous ROFL moments
