Arjun Reddy- Crafting characters through an Emotion.

   There is no doubt that Arjun Reddy is the path breaker of Telugu film industry. Even the film's commercial aspects entirely depended on toxic masculinity and bad attitude of the male lead, the movie has a strong critical approach to screenwriting. There are many elements to crafts the character. For example, most of the movies believe in dialogues and some of them depend on the behavior of the character. But Arjun Reddy has a scope in the emotion of the movie. Of course, the movie is about emotions and how it shapes the characters in the film. So this time we are gonna see the techniques that Sandeep vanga(director) handles to achieves the success of the story via emotions.

"I think Arjun Reddy is the character who has a strong belief in both the physical and emotional representation of other characters in the movie" 

 Let us take the opening scene of the movie, which starts with the monologue of his grandma. She told the story about mountains, saints, and other things. This story contains the entire theme of the movie. If we note this line, "One day when I woke up, in the morning, he has lost his doll and crying... I said, "I will get you another one". And his reply was "Grandma.. there are mountains and saints in the story..but not you and me, that's why I want my same doll". The first scene exactly shows about him which is the reflection of the entire movie. He wants the same doll, like a case of Preethi's (female lead) character, we see that there is a lot of women wants to have him, but he wants the same. He needs the same doll because he needs an emotion which is given by that doll. Of course, he didn't want the physical representation of the doll.

 We may say that how an excellent medical student, didn't have the awareness of protected sexual methods. He didn't want it. Remember the scene where he had a conversation with his brother. He says that sex is a something that comes, independently we shouldn't control it, it is the form of  love. That's why he didn't protect the child's birth. From those points, we see that Arjun has a strong sense of emotional elements.

When he approaches other women, like the heroine character. He says only,"Do you physically help to overcome my love failure..?". Yes, he only wants the physical representation here not an emotion. Because he didn't want to share the emotion with all, Only with Preethi. The starting scene represents it symbolically, that he only needs a raw physical content to overcome.

"Suffering is personal"

Another important character after Arjun Reddy is Preethi Shetty, a female lead. Of course, we only see the suffering of Arjun Reddy, but not Preethi's. But the final moments of the scene reflects the entire emotion of that character which is equal to the male lead's. That emotion purely helps the writer to craft that character. Yes, suffer, suffering is the one which helps to develop both characters. Another important character is his grandmother who is the only one to support him after his friend Shiva.  Remember they only share a few moments in the screen time, but we see the strong bond between them, that is the power of emotion writer achieve it.

Let us consider, his friend Shiva, and all of them. All are "emotional meter" of the male lead. They are the one who tells that which is right or wrong. And they are helping to show the limitation of the character. They are emotionless to show the emotion of the male lead. 

"Being born, being in love, and dying..there are just 10% of our life..the rest are reactions of that moments"

Grandma's dead is the final plot point of the movie. He tells his father that "Emotion is everything..".  He plays the song, to full fill the emotions for that moment. And when they carry her grandmother, someone told that "Body". He didn't like the physical representation here. Eventually Arjun Reddy is the example of how to develop your characters via feelings, beliefs, and sufferings. It is more deserved than treated.

I said, why are you crying so much?I told him I will get you another one.
