The very first scene in a college campus with a group of students
indulging in eve-teasing gives a taste of what is going to
come. And this group announces their friend Balu (Akash) as
the best boy in the campus. Aishwarya (Anupriya) confronts
him and it turns out to be 'love at first sight'.
Then appear mandatory scenes to establish his heroic qualities,
and when Aishwarya is about to reveal her love to him, she
sees Balu, brain-washing one Shanti, about 'love' and how
she mistook familiarity with opposite sex as love.
Aisswarya changes her mind about expressing her love. But,
Balu who has fallen in love with Aishwarya checks himself
from revealing his mind too. However, he gifts her with an
electronic key chain, which upon pressing, pronounces 'I love
you'. But Aishwarya never operates it almost till the end.
As a last resort, Balu pretends to be friendly with another
girl (Ashita), thinking this will push Aishwarya to express
her love for him.
Surya (Surya) believes that Balu and Aiswarya are afflicted
with cancer. He compares their situation with that of the
love pair in Maniratnam's Geetanjali. Even the college classroom
scenes, with Brahmanandam playing a lecturer bog down the
film.
Akash has a lot of improving to do in acting. The dubbing
is equally poor. Anupriya is better, but looks older than
Akash. The talent of quite a few senior artistes like Giribabu,
Brahmanandam, Sudhakar, M.S. Narayana is wasted. Music by
Koti is like a remix of vintage tunes.
