Storyline
Sivaramaraju (Jagapati Babu), Rama Raju (Venkat), Raju (Sivaji)
and Swathy (Monica) are siblings. They belong to a royal dynasty
and at present they are orphans. Sivaramaraju takes the onus
of raising his siblings. In such a situation, Sivaramaraju
happens to marry off his sister to a guy whose family is on
the mission of taking revenge on him. The rest of the film
deals with how the sister and brothers travail hard to unite.
Artists:
Jagapati Babu played the role of a responsible big brother
and he is quite good in that role expect for a few scenes
where he delivers mass dialogues and does a bharata natyam
in front of Goddess Kalimata. Venkat suited the character
well. Sivaji is also good, but he should trim his tummy to
continue as hero. Monica looks OK but her expressions and
dubbing do not seem to gel well. Hari Krishna played the role
of Jagapati Babu's father that comes in flashback. He looks
little odd in that getup and his characterization and mannerisms
are not impressive enough. Poonam played an insignificant
role of Jagapati Babu's wife. Laya's role is a pretty small
one. Kanchi Kaul is limited to couple of college scenes and
a duet. Sijju suited the role of revenge seeking sadistic
husband. Brahmanandam played a character actor role in this
film that has a tinge of mass comedy. LB Sriram did the role
of trusted lieutenant to hero's family.
Technical
Departments
Screenplay
- Direction: Sumudra's screenplay and direction is aimed
at the masses and ladies. He tried capturing ladies territory
with the sister sentiment and targeted masses with lots of
forced mass elements. The way he projected these elements
in the first half is sensible. But he could not handle the
second half properly. At the same time, he tried encashing
the L3 success by casting Hari Krishna in an extended flashback
scene where Hari Krishna is shown for 25 minutes.
Dialogues:
Dialogues by Paruchuri brothers are mass oriented. A few dialogues
are lifted from other films like 'Nenu aalochinchi chebutanu
- cheppina tarvata alochinchanu' (from Rajni's Baba),
paina a brahmadevudu sasistaadu, ikkada ee ananda bhupati
paatistaadu (from Rajni's Arunachalam), 'mee intlo
pani vaadu takkuvakulam vaadu (just like the famous dialogue
of 'mee intlo pani vaadu bharateeyudu
by NTR
to Mohan Babu in Sardar Papa Rayudu). There are some
sensible dialogues as well. And also a couple of cheap dialogues
like 'Face choosi padakapothe base choopinchu'.
Other
Departments: hotography of the first half is good. But
it's not impressive in the second half. Music by SA Raj Kumar
is partly good. His background music for fights and style
effects is cacophonic. Fights in the film have too much of
mass orientation. The position and movement of camera in fights
remind us of recent low-budget action films directed by Sagar.
The producer seems to have spent lots of money as the film
requires lots of junior artists present in most of the scenes.
Analysis:
First half of the film is decent. Second half is dragged a
little bit. The extended flashback with Hari Krishna as Ananda
Bhupati is not impressive. And the light hue given to flashback
episode makes it look jaded. Over all, it's an average flick
targeted at masses and ladies. Though class people might not
like it, it has fair chances of reaching audiences at B and
C centers.
