Story:

Bhavani (Mukesh Rishi) and Narasimha (Jayaprakash) are best friends turned foes due to misunderstandings caused by Yadu (Ashish). This is told to Ram (Kalyan), son of Bhavani and he decides to play game with Yadu. He is successful in that but in due course falls in love with Anjali (Hansika). However, a sequence of events takes place and Ram realizes that Anjali is the daughter of Narasimha. Now, he has to ensure that both sworn enemies come together to accept for his marriage with Anjali. Whether he is successful or not forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performances:

Kalyanram has given a standard performance and there is nothing new or variety that he offered. Given the comedy quotient, he should have been more charging and expressive. His naturally handsome looks are nice. Costumes are also good. Hansika motwani has turned out to be a real gorgeous doll after her last movie ‘Kantri’. She looks sexy and wears some really attractive outfits and this would provide a visual delight. Performance is as usual but her beauty overshadows most of her drawbacks. Mukesh Rishi, Jayaprakash Reddy- both senior actors came up with a standard performance but the makers could have looked at extracting more from Mukesh. Jayaprakash Reddy gives the required dose of humor, performance and the bad looks. Both of them are versatile. Brahmanandam, Ali, Raghu Babu- the trio has come up with decent performances but the energy could have been better in the line. Raghu Babu in particular is good and he does these roles very well.

Technical Departments:

Story - Screenplay - Directon: Story of the movie is adequate. Screenplay should have been better. Direction is decent in the second half. But the director couldn't articulate story in a clear manner in the first half. The movie gets better in the latter part of the second half where there is family orientation and comedy. The characterization of hero is good. But the characterizations of Jaya Prakash Narayan and Mukesh Rushi should have been more logical and consistent to convince the audiences to believe in the proceedings of the second half.

Other Departments: Music by SS Thaman is alright. The picturization of songs is good. The second song with graphics backdrop is nicely done. All songs are picturized with lot of care. Dialogues by BVS Ravi are adequate. Art direction is good. Cinematography by Dasaradhi Sivendra is neat. Editing should have been crisp as there is lag in the movie (runtime is more). Production values by NTR Arts are good.

Analysis:

The film relies mostly on the technical aspects and the focus has been on the style and presentation than the content and punch in the story. While the first half is just okay, the real story picks up in second half and there are traces of movies like ‘Dhee’ ‘Ready’ etc and protagonist using brain than brawn has become the in thing now. The mass audience would relish the presence of Hansika, songs and the comedy part but overall, there is no rhythm and there are fluctuations in the depiction of emotions. The film is good in parts but on a whole there should be something more. The movie is on the lines of ‘Ready’ but could have handled with more power in dialogues and screenplay.
