Three Heroines Hugely Wasted By Waltair Veerayya

One of the biggest changes these days films have seen is that ‘commercial’ movies are having roles of heroines also quite defined and well-linked with the story. At the same time, they are also getting meaty screen time and being given roles that are crucial to the screenplay. But here in Waltair Veerayya, things went down south when it comes to heroines. 

Firstly we have Shruti Haasan who is actually given a good role of a relationship manager in a hotel and who is later revealed to be an RAA agent. However, the role won’t have bigger scenes or fighting sequences but will appear in a scene and then the scene jumps to a song. Needless to say, this is the shortest role she has ever done in commercial films of Telugu cinema. 

Cut to another heroine Catherine Tresa, who plays the role of Raviteja’s wife and didn’t even get any powerful dialogue or highly emotional scene except crying in one scene. Also, she has no lengthy scenes or something that would bring out the best of her. Though she is known for her commercial looks, she played an orthodox role here. 

Cut to the item song, Boss Party, Miss India starlet Urvashi Rautela appears just in the song and there is neither lead to her role nor any closure. In the good old times, the likes of Silk Smitha in Mutamestri got a lead scene which really worked, but here Urvashi got no such thing. 

On the whole, three big heroines, at least one of them is a star heroine, were hugely wasted with poorly written roles that don’t even have enough screen space.
