Gudipoodi Srihari Review

tell a friend

Director Murali Raju appears to be quite ambitious and wishes to do something different. The end result however is a confused product. None of the characters stick to a particular line of action and the scenes change abruptly.

The camera moves arbitrarily and the film makes one feel the shots are taken at random and that efforts were later made to set them in order. There are helicopters, planes flying across the sky like you see in the air shows and trees capes. One also finds weird looking characters jumping into scenes aimlessly.

Kartik (Mukesh) is said to be born to a rich couple who die in a plane crash. Though he is affluent he wants to make a living on his own and get recognition in the world of music.
A Mafia story develops in a separate track. It is the story of a Pandu and his archrival Neelam.

There is a mysterious character that is annihilating gangs. The only guide to identify him is the statement given by some that he wears black and carries a gun in a guitar box. For Pandu's men singer Kartik is an easy suspect and target, as he wears black and carries a guitar box.

A young girl Nithya (Kanishka) is given the job of discovering who this young man really is-whether he is a murderer or a musician. She falls in love with Kartik after she discovers that her former boyfriend has ditched her. There is some suspense towards the end. For music composer Sasi Preetham, old Hindi and Telugu records have come in handy as most of the sound track carries these songs originally scored by Sasi.

Mukesh as Kartik and Kanishka (as Nitya) are the worst hit looking blankly into each other's face.
