                  Story 
                     
                    The story is about three childhood friends Vennela (Suneetha 
                    Varma), Vineeth (Sai Kiran) and Venu (Srinath). They do everything 
                    together. Vennela has feelings for Vineeth and vice versa. 
                    But they never express it to each other. When Vineeth is away 
                    on a tour, Venu proposes to Vennela. Due to the unavoidable 
                    circumstances, Vennela ends up in getting engaged to Venu. 
                    The rest of the story is all about how the true love wins! 
                     
                  Artists 
                    performance: 
                   
                    Sai Kiran: Sai Kiran is getting matured with films. He 
                    is really good in this film in terms of looks and histrionics. 
                    His acting is cool, controlled and subdued. He has put on 
                    some weight and gained more glamour. 
                  Srinath: 
                    As a newcomer Srinath is impressive. He looks rugged and slightly 
                    resembles Srikanth in few angles. He should get the nose job 
                    done in order to improve his looks.  
                  Suneetha 
                    Varma: This Telugu girl - from the lineage of Alluri Seetarama 
                    Raju - is impressive. She is homely-looking and good at performance. 
                    She has a bright career ahead provided that she gets the right 
                    break. 
                  Others: 
                    Chitram Seenu and Rajeev Kanakala played the negative roles. 
                    Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, LB Sriram and MS Narayana 
                    donned unimpressive comedy-oriented roles. Sirivennela made 
                    a special appearance in this film. His definitions about poetry 
                    and love are heart touching and excellent. 
                  Technical 
                    Departments: 
                   
                    Story - Screenplay - direction - dialogues: Story of the 
                    film is very predictable. Direction of the film is mediocre 
                    and screenplay is bad. Allani Sridhar - a novelist - failed 
                    as a director and screenplay writer with this film. Dialogues 
                    of the film are okay except for vulgar dialogues written for 
                    Dharmavarapu. 'Uthsaaham' is another example of how novel 
                    writers fail to transform their creative thoughts used for 
                    writing novels on to the celluloid.  
                  Other 
                    departments: Music by Anurag is good. A couple of melodies 
                    are soothing to ears. Background music is also OK. Photography 
                    of the film is good. But the editing is pathetic.  
                     
                    Analysis: 
                     
                    This film - titled as 'Uthsaaham' (Encouragement) - is a discouraging 
                    fair. The narration is pretty confusing and the scenic order 
                    is improper. The director failed to capture the attention 
                    of viewers even for a frame. After watching plethora of triangular 
                    feel-good love stories in post-Nuvvekavali era, this film 
                    offers a nothing new. You may safely avoid watching this film.
