STORY:
As the title of the movie suggests ,the film is the lovestory  of the two workers of a shopping mallnamed Senthil Murugan in chennai.Siva (Mahesh) is a guy who lives in the village and an intermediate passoutwith 96%.He wants to go for higher studies.He hails from a poor family.At that moment of time,his father dies in an accident.He is supposed to go for job in order to maintain his family.He and his friend(Pandi) applies for a job in a shopping mall in chennai and they got selected.They have a very good opinion on their job but the real story is different.All the workers in the mall are harassed by the supervisor(Venkatesh).Supervisor is cruel blooded fellow beats everyone including girls and touching their body in a room in  the name of punishment.Meanwhile Rani(Anjali) is also worker in the mall with another kind of heart-rendering story.In the mean time, they fall in love with each other after some clashes.Whether they succeeded in their love and what destiny decide their ending is the rest of the story.
ANALYSIS:
The film is not only a  lovestory but it clearly depicts the lifestyle of  so many people who sells items  in a market  street.The Actual meaning of angadi theru(tamil name) is market street but for telugu audience it is named as shopping mall.It is similar to our BESANT ROAD in vijayawda and KOTI in hyderabad.The lives of the people who are working in the mall  shown may be out of box but the director has convincingly  presented it .The director excellently captivated the lives of the road side and  small scale sellers  in the street.It is truly heart touching.The director  clearly represented the lifestyle of those people.The story is excellent and the screenplay is very good.The narration is not fast paced but it doesn't let you bored.It has enough comedy.It is a realistic point told in a cinematic wayThe director should be appreciated not only for selecting this kind of point but also to his neat presentation.The introduction is good .The climax is good and heart touching and shows the essence of true love.Its a film of human emotions and lifestyle

            Coming to the cast,Mahesh is good but not excellent.As a new comer he did his bit required.Anjali is better than mahesh and she is very good.The voice dubbed by herself which is a major drawback.Instead of saying she shouted the  dialogues which makes the audience a little bit of inconvenience.Coming to the performance wise the real show stealer was pandi(siva's friend).He performed very well and his body&body language itself provides laughs.The voice dubbed to him is good.Venkatesh (Supervisor)is excellent and he is perfectly apt to that role.Raghu babu has given voice to him ,it perfectly matches to him and u can't see  raghubabu on the screen.The remaining crew is good and  enacted well.
              Music by G.V.Prakash and vijay antony is good.Editing by Trinadh is very worst and at some places u would n't find lip sink .The connection shots are missing due to this poor editing.Production values  by suresh kondeti is worst when it comes to editing.He gave  the film "Premisthe"with neat quality than this.But his efforts to bring such a nice film like this laudable.Shashank Vennelakanti dialogues are very good  and audible.He cleverly managed the nativity difference.
 MY RATING:3/5(Good)
FINAL VERDICT:
on the whole ,Shopping  mall is a  good&neat movie with a realistic plot told in a cinematic way.The  entire movie  goes  in the same  emotional mood and it is  the presentation  of the director that scores  the points.It is not an excellent movie  that deserves  standing ovation but it definitely creates an  impact after watching the movie. It is not for those who needs fights,slapstickcomedy,songs and entertainment.They might get bored of this.It is for those who needs a realistic concept and hard-hitting presentation..Definitely Its a worth watching movie
TAIL PIECE:
After watching the movie,if u  ever go  through the besant road   observe the roadside sellers and the people over there u could identify  the real life people that were portrayed on the screen.I don't know why it has subjected to negative reviews by so called critics.
