The story in the first half of this film runs almost on the
same lines of Run, another three-letter title.
But
Dil treads on its own path through scenes resolving the problem
created in the subject. The film proves to be a quite challenging
one for the baby-faced Nitin, as he plays an action hero,
with plenty of fights. It becomes rather difficult to digest
the fact that he triumphs against dozens of well-built goons.
This is cinema and anything is possible. Hero Seenu (Nitin)
loses his dil to mafia don Gowri Sankar's (Prakash Raj) daughter
Nandini (neha). It is rather funny that fathers these films
for such silly choice for their "only" daughters.
Besides, his personal experience should have present lovers
to get together.
Shankar
faced similar problems with his wife's father (Rajan P.Dev)
objecting to their marriage.
Shankar
goes into flash back mode remembering how he had fallen in
love with Nandini's mum and the problems they had faced.
In
between these two scenes of "cause" and "effect,"
we watch a series of battles between Shankar's henchmen and
our one-man army, Seenu.
Seenu's
father Bhaskar Rao (Chalapathi Rao) encourages his son to
go for the girl and see that "love" conquers. The
dictum of this film then is "love is the final winner"
It also sounds a warning about "love, youth power and
students".
The
film ropes in a multitude of students to check the villain's
advance with his gang.
Nitin still needs some mobility in his expression and reaction.
New entrant neha is adequate for the role. Prakash Raj merely
makes the film his playground of histrionics. Chalapathi Rao
and Sudha are competent as Seenu's parents. Chalapathi Rao
is impressive particularly in the final scenes. Patnaik's
music score is satisfactory.
