Gudipoodi Srihari Review

The film opens with Chandrakanth's (Sumanth) return from an army camp. He muses about his childhood and his friendship with Aravind (Nagarjuna). The film, said to be a remake of the Tamil film Friends, is entertaining. Director Sivasankar, weaves slapstick comedy around the character of a painting contractor (Brahamanandam). This is a major draw and sends the audience into raptures. The two artistes Brahmanandam and Ali display good timing in dialogue delivery.

The two friends Chandrakanth and Aravind become part of the comedy riot. Here, Aravind's love story with one Padmini (Bhoomika) develops. Padmini belongs to a huge zamindar family, which is controlled by Jayaprakash Reddi who too has a daughter named Swati. Swati starts liking Aravind, while the latter sets his eyes on Padmini. In a contrived situation, Padmini is about to be electrocuted, when Aravind goes to her rescue. As a token of gratitude she presents him with her ring and Aravind thinks it to be the sign of her love.

Meanwhile, Swathi starts sending letters to Aravind in the name of Padmini. On the basis of a letter Aravind even enters Padmini's bedroom, much to her shock. Chandrakant makes a big issue of this and blames Padmini for his friend's deed. Then Aravind realises that Swathi is the culprit and she admits her guilt when forced to do so. Padimini then decides to marry Aravind not because she loves him, but because she wants to drive Chandrakanth from Aravind's life. The post marital scenes are a tit-for-tat game between Padmini and Chandrakanth.

Another twist in the tale. Goutham (Sriman) wants to marry Aravind's younger sister (Pratyusha), who is already in love with Chandrakanth. Goutham's villainy pushes the family into utter chaos and crives the friends into new dangers. Aravind's close friendship with Chandrakanth is narrated interestingly.

Sumanth, in the role of Chandrakanth, proves to be a mature artiste. In fact, he gets more footage, compared to Nagarjuna. His diction at times resembles the diction of his maternal grandfather ANR, Nagarjuna, comparatively, has a linear role of a flirt and then a man besotted with the beauty of Padmini. Bhoomika's performance is comparatively mild, falling short of demand. Music by Sankar is marked by few good songs. Dance and fight sequences are the plus points of the film.
