Those who are drawn to the theater, attracted by the name
of Uday Kiran feel greatly disappointed, as his presence on
the screen is only limited to few reels. He plays Gowtam who
come to Hyderabad to join a computer institute. And the film
opens with an irrelevant song number featuring him and a group,
supposed to be students. Gowtam and his friend Bablu move
into a house owned by one Ramana, as paying guests. Gowtam
meets Anju (Venya) and teams up with her at the computer institute
to do the programme. And their pair is called 'Jodi No.1'.
While Gowtam falls in love with Anju, she remains indifferent.
Meanwhile, Gowtam finds out that Anju's pen friend Pinky is
planning to visit her. His well-wisher and landlord Ramana
asks him to grab this opportunity. Thus Gowtam arrives in
a female garb impersonating as Pinky. With a heavy hair-do,
and garish make up Uday Kiran looks repulsive in this get-up.
Worse is the scene when his secret is out!!
An
angry Anju sulks for a while but gives in finally.
The
cast is full of newcomers and performances are terribly amateurish.
Uday Kiran is the only known name and saving grace. The dances
and songs bear no relevance at all to the drama. Music composer
Vandemataram uses folk tunes mostly for his work. Thematically
and technically too, it is a disappointing film.
