                    Yet another love story from Usha Kiron Movies. The script 
                    is poor with routine situations. Venu and Shama make a team 
                    in the sluggish first half. And Malavika replaces Shama in 
                    the second half. There is imbalance between the volume of 
                    the dialogue and the musical score in the background. 
                   
                    Besides, the dubbing part too does not maintain perfect balance 
                    of voices in combination shots. This was particularly noticed 
                    between the characters of Chandramohan and Annapurna. Ganesh 
                    is given the change of comedy part and is poorly etched. He's 
                    constantly on the lookout for girls to woo. And he's also 
                    the friend and guide of the hero Surya (Venu) 
                   
                    The initial part brings Surya nearer to Girija (Shama). The 
                    element that binds them is Girija's poetry and Surya's song. 
                    Surya starts admiring a poet named 'Giri', whom he thinks 
                    is a man. 
                   
                    A letter he writes to 'him' convinces 'her' to reveal that 
                    she is not 'he', but 'she'. They fix 'Shilparamam' as their 
                    rendezvous. But she is greeted with her song rendered by her 
                    fan at a lottery function. That is the beginning of their 
                    love. And, perhaps, also the end, as the respective fathers 
                    of the two, fight over an issue during the betrothal session 
                    between these two, not knowing they are lovers.  
                   
                    The culprit in this issue is Surya's paternal uncle (Tanikella 
                    Bharani), who is aware of this love affair and spoils this, 
                    thinking Surya's father (Chalapati Rao) is thrusting another 
                    girl on his son. The betrothal is called off. Both Surya and 
                    Girija are upset. 
                   
                    Surya's father fixes his marriage, this time, with another 
                    girl named Pooja (Malavika), daughter of his friend (Chandramohan). 
                    But Pooja is already in love with another man Kiran (Sivaji). 
                   
                    The rest of the drama shows how Surya and Pooja join hands 
                    to debunk their respective parents and marry their own choices. 
                   
                    But all does not go well. For poetess Girija, the news that 
                    Surya's marriage is fixed with Pooja, is disturbing. She waves 
                    a wedding card with the photographs of Surya and Pooja, already 
                    printed, and calls the proposal off, calling him a cheat. 
                   
                    What happens to the relationship of the rest of the three 
                    people left in the ring -Surya, Pooja, and Kiran - forms the 
                    rest of the story. 
                   
                    Venu performs with ease. Shama does not impress at all. Her 
                    looks and poetry never match. So is the way Surya bursting 
                    into a song at a lottery function. 
                   
                    The scenic connection for this rendition is poor. He gets 
                    on to the stage to receive lottery money and is asked by manager 
                    there to sing a song. He obliges abruptly. But the song is 
                    melodious.  
                   
                    Delhi Rajeswari, Chandramohan, Chalapati Rao are okay. The 
                    dialogue is generally stale.
