Artists:
Upendra:
Unlike his past maverick and male chauvinist films, Upendra
acts as a good lover boy in this film. He impresses with his
histrionics.
Rachana:
Rachna looks ravishing in this film. She strikes a fine balance
between the emotions and exposing.
Sanghvi:
Her role in this film is a secondary one that enters in the
interval. She did well with in her limitations.
Technical Departments:
Story - Screenplay - Direction: The story of the film
is novel. But bad screenplay and direction misuses the novel
storyline. The first half is entertaining. But the moment
Sanghavi character is introduced; the film goes on routine
mode.
Comedy: The characters of Sudhakar and Tanekella Bharani
are introduced to take care of comedy entertainment. They
are partly successful in injecting some humor.
Fights:
To take care of the frontbenchers, the character of Thriller
Manju is introduced towards the climax of the film. Fights
in this film are Ok.
Music:
Music of Neethone Vuntanu is pretty average. The locations
of the first two songs are good. Picturization of the songs
are Ok.
Analysis:
It's a good storyline spoilt by bad direction. If a young
director directs this film with youth heroes, it might have
worked with the tight screenplay. It's not a trademark Upendra
film. But there is one sadistically hilarious scene, in which
Upendra takes Sanghvi to celebrate their first night to the
graveyard and tries to rape her in it. Using TV monitor resolution
video for web cam chat also looks surreal. Over all, it's
a below average film.
