What adds to the pathos of the movie-goer is that, during all this, we hardly know anything about Preeti Shetty or the heroine who falls miserably in love with Dr Arjun Reddy in the second half. Both characters are modelled after Paro and Chandramukhi (of the Devdas fame) and are half baked characters with hardly any opinions of their own. This film is about Arjun Reddy and Arjun Reddy alone, not about Preeti or another character. Even during the end, when Preeti miraculously reveals that she never let her husband touch even her little finger, we are left to wonder how she could have possibly managed that. The woman who couldn’t speak a word when Arjun forced her to walk out of her classroom, or in front of her father who got her forcibly married off to a man she didn’t know – how could she defy her husband, leave her in-laws and begin to live independently as a pregnant woman hoping for her boyfriend to come back and claim her one day?
The lines of right and wrong are blurred in the film and it is unfortunately left to us, the audience, to decide who is Arjun Reddy. Is he the new path-breaking Tollywood hero who talks about respecting women and is willing to accept his girlfriend post her marriage or is he a falsely justified reason to storm into a college and choose one’s girlfriend without her consent?
