Story: Boy Meets Girl. Falls in Love, at first sight. Girl has a big
brother. The big brother is okay, but the villain wants to marry her.
Boy rescues the damsel from the bad boy and marries her. Oh, yeah.
Damage to Scorpios whenever the director wants to add sound and colour
to the scene.
See something different? I’ll answer that. No. Krishna
(Ravi Teja) is a post graduate in computers from Vijayawada, who has
conveniently sacrificed his job( so now he is unrestrained in his
wanderings). He falls in love with Sandhya(Trisha) in a temple. So,
being the true-lover that he is, he follows her around, all the way to
her brother’s place in Hyderabad. Her brother, was actually a good guy,
but turns into a semi-bad guy because he need to protect his sister
from the real bad guys. And so, Krishna, in his following her around,
runs into them an takes it on himself to protect her. Thus the chase
begins, culminating at the all-too-familiar ending. Interposing, are
fights with breakables around(a pity, bangles in this case),
Black-Scorpio-convoys for the villain, accidents where the cars do
pirouttes in mid air, the hero’s ability to survive a hundred blows on
his head and still dig his way out when he’s buried alive, and still
take on a superbly unhurt and healthy bad guy, one-on-one. The first
time, maybe ten years back, this style was new, creative and a huge
hit. But really, how many times does one have to take this over and
over again? What does Vinayak take the public for? The average response
its going to get, is purely earned by performances. Every actor does
his part, as chalked out for him. Ravi teja as the Angry Lover-boy,
Trisha as the delicate little sister-girlfriend, and Mukul Dev as the
hearltess philogynist, who’s lost his heart to the girl. Comedy-king
Brahmanandam steals the show as Bobby, Sandhya’s Brother. The other
comedians did a good job too.(Where does "The Power of Indrakeeladri"
figure?)
Direction is trademark Vinayak style, aimed blatantly at
the masses, with nothing much to mention about the script. Having
become a fan of Ravi Teja’s ever since Rajamouli’s Vikramarkudu, I
found the movie pretty tolerable, but then I guess, its watchable once.
If, there is nothing better to do. Considering the other movies
released parallelly, This is the best of the lot.
