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.
