Surya Prakash, son of renowned film director K Raghavendra
Rao, is being introduced by Usha Kiron movies in this film
along with John as the director. Raghavendra Rao's father,
the late KS Prakasa Rao, has been an eminent director himself
and had acted in earlier films.
The
story, also by John, does not suit the personality of Surya
Prakash who is making his debut. The boy is quite tall and
well built, a sure choice for action drama.
The
film opens with an action scene set in a chartered plane,
but melts down to a routine love drama with an unconvincing
tale. Only in the second part we come to know that this hero
named Madhav is the song of a multi-millionaire (Prakash Raj).
But without explaining properly why such an attack took place
on the boy in the plane, the focus shifts to college campus.
Madhav is in love with Shalini (Mehek), who prefers to be
his friend but not his lover. But the boy promises his father
that he would marry the girl he loves. This is the basic structure
of the theme and the love drama drags here with Madhav proposing
and Shalini rejecting. Madhav persists and requests her to
take a month's time to think. At the end of it she still says
no.
But
as expected, the moment Madhav gives up and starts walking
away, Shalini realizes she loves him after all. But she cannot
tell him right away. The film sets off a psychological drama
that leads into illogical solution. Surya Prakash fits any
action-oriented drama. Though his voice is good, the diction
has no modulation at all. Even the histrionic element needed
for love drama is missing.
Mehek
in contrast is better. The only recognizable role is one played
by Prakash Raj. Brahmanandam plays Madhav's housekeeper giving
a piece of his mid in all the love matters. Music by Vidya
Sagar does not lift the film from above the ordinary.
