Nowadays one fairly gets to watch a tragic love story, as
it is not considered economically viable. Bobby, however,
is an exception. The end looks like a hop, step and jump into
the heaven where 'marriages are made'. The climax of the film
is mayhem, caused not by the rival fathers of the lovers but
some extraneous forces. That is what the film is all about.
Bobby (Mahesh), son of industrialist K.R. (Raghuvaran)- a
white-collared don, arrives from the U.S.A. Yadagiri (Prakashraj)
who started off as union leader in a factory owned by K.R.
and became powerful soon, is K.R.'s bitter enemy. The State's
Home Minister is shown as a stooge of both these dons. This
is the setting of the drama and its characters.
As expected, Bobby falls in love with Bhagyamati (Aarti Agarwal),
daughter of Yadagiri. The introduction of the characters of
Yadagiri, K.R. and their men is set in the theatrical mould,
with a background voice describing the characteristics of
each person. Though Bobby comes to India after 15 years of
stay in the U.S., to spend time with his parents in his country,
his parents want him to return to the U.S.A. early, lest the
boy may become the target of Yadagiri's bullet.
How the children of these sworn enemies make to the wedding
venue in the heaven is what the film presents. The strength
of the film is in the sober portrayal of the character of
Bobby by Mahesh. He displays variety in acting and perfect
diction. He successfully underplays the role wherever it is
needed.
Aarti Agarwal is considered just a second fiddle to him, the
narration lacks momentum. Raghuvaran and Parkashraj try to
give some sense to their roles. Song setting is partly with
western mix. A couple of tunes are already familiar. The traditional
tunes give some relief. The comedy introduced through Brahmanandam
playing a transport contractor in whose bus the lovers travel,
falls flat. Technically speaking, the film gives an 'overdone'
feel, especially in using graphic work.
