There appears to be a sea change in Krishna Reddy's film making.
He has been a specialist in family subjects at one stage.
Then he began playing lead in his own films. Later he tried
his hand at making youth films.
Now, with this film, he has tried to return to his old style,
infusing some surprise element in the drama. Though this is
welcome one feels he has lost his grip on such subjects too.
Logic and sense are thrown to winds.
This element of 'surprise' appears stale. Imagine a situation
where a rich girl, Lahari (Soundarya) in this case, gets attracted
to her car driver Balaji (Chakravarti) and then agrees to
stay with him in his middle class home for ten days, as a
test, to understand what is in store for her, in case their
marriage comes through. If she is true to her love, the compromises
can be made. But that does not happen. Lahari returns to the
lap of her pampering father Mahendra (Prakashraj).
The story line, poorly conceived and picturised, is full of
exaggerations. Businessman Mahendra orders for every new car
that comes into the market. And for every car he appoints
a new driver. His house, in short, looks more like a car distribution
company.
All these cars are meant to be used by a three-member family-
Mahendra, his wife (Delhi Rajeswari) and their daughter Lahari.
Balaji (Chakravarti) is the new recruit as one of the chauffeurs.
While riding in the car that Balaji drives, Lahari gets an
opportunity to watch all his 'good deeds' and naturally, she
falls in love with him. This shocks Mahendra. Balaji tells
Mahendra that he never tried to attract his daughter, nor
loved her and promises that he will make her dislike him.
The rest shows the drama in Balaji's house with different
people trying to scare her back into her father's lap.
The poor script makes the artistes look like fish out of water.
Except for Soundarya, nobody impresses. Chakravarti's role
is blown out of all proportion. There is no relief at all
despite the presence of Sunil - who's the new comedian in
the industry. Music by Krishna Reddy is not much to be talked
about either.
