A novel love story where the mother of the hero declares her
son not fit to marry the girl he loves because she feels he's
irresponsible and might ruin the girl's life. The film has
newcomers Kartik (Charan) and Neha (Sneha) in the lead roles
and Poonam Dhillion playing the mother's role.
Kartik finds great pleasure in ragging Neha in the college.
She suffers silently. One day she goes to the rescue of Lakshmi
(Poonam Dhillon), who faints while shopping. The incident
brings the two close and Lakshmi starts treating Neha like
her own child. Neha keeps complaining about Kartik known in
college as Billa- to Lakshmi, not knowing that she's his mother.
Now that Neha is so dear to Lakshmi and her husband Chakaravarti
(Sharatbabu), Neha's father Subramanyam (Chandramohan) seeks
his daughter's matrimonial alliance with their son. By then
Kartik and Neha fall in love. Thus when everything looks perfectly
set for their marriage, Lakshmi objects. "I am her mother
too. I prefer her to marry a good boy, but not my vagabond
and irresponsible son," she declares. The proposal is
dropped for the time being.
How this issue is resolved forms the rest of the drama, loaded
with sentiment, incorporating scenes with Charan revealing
the other side his personality as a man who can tide over
any problem with ease and patience.
Sreya looks innocent and pleasing, yet a wee bit mischievous
- an impressive debut. Charan, though ordinary looking, scores
with good performance. Poonam Dhillon, playing Lakshmi dominates
the film. She invests her experience in portraying the role
impressively. Both Sreya nad Poonam steal the scenes whenever
they are together. Chandramohan and Shartbabu make a good
team in their roles.
But the scenes showing Chandramaohan's weakness for alcohol
are farfetched. Though the dramatic tempo has many ups and
downs, the film turns out to be an enjoyable exercise, with
refreshing music score by Gopinath. Incidentally, the film's
last parts resemble the final scene of Jaabili, also released
this week. This may one reason why Jaabili was released a
day ahead of Ishtam.
