Keedaa Cola (2023)
4/10
Surrender the bottle!
30 December 2023
Vaasthu is living with his grandfather and has lost a case wherein he is asked to pay up 1cr for the synthetic doll. His lawyer who is also his best friend is unable to save him and the trio are in dire need of money. Similarly, there is another group of trio, led by Bhakta Naidu and his brother Jeevan wants to be corporator. They require big money for the same. Then there is a cola bottle with a cockroach in it and it becomes the means of making big money for both of these groups. How they clash and eventually try to earn the money while the cola company retorts back with violence, forms rest of the story.

Keedaa Cola strictly works in parts wherein several individual scenes tickle the funny bone solely through the quirky lines and comedy timing. But the film as a whole is simply too dull. This has the set of characters one requires for a crime comedy genre but the writing should have been sharp throughout. The flow is totally uneven especially in the first half and to be honest, Surrender the bottle bit was only proper funny scene throughout. After the dull first half saved only by Tharun Bhascker, it is the second half that shifts the gear a bit. Sadly, here too the scenes work better only in the final act and the whole obsession with the doll joke fell flat.
