                     Inspired 
                    by the recent Nuvve Kaavali and Sontham cannot boast of an 
                    original subject. The theme discusses the thin line between 
                    friendship and love. 
                   In this 
                    case, Vamsi (Aryan Rajesh) treats his childhood pal Nandu 
                    (Namita), just as a friend. But Nandu loves him and wants 
                    to marry him. When she's about to express her mind, she overhears 
                    Vamsi telling his friend Bose (Rohit) that Nandu is his life, 
                    but hastens to add that it should not be mistaken for love. 
                    Meanwhile, Vamsi's industrialist father (Tanikella Bharani) 
                    sends his son to New Zealand to look after their business 
                    interests. This trip is designed to open his named Maggie, 
                    there, is the one who gives him wisdom. Vamsi, by then, begins 
                    to miss Nandu and realises he's actually in love with her. 
                    So he comes rushing back to India only to find out that she's 
                    engaged to another man. He simply cries over his helpless 
                    father's shoulders, as his helpless father's shoulders, as 
                    Nandu too yearns for Vamsi.  
                  Most of 
                    the film has the regular college pranks, with comedian Sunil 
                    indulging in some loud comedy. It is some he changes his monotonous 
                    style. There is no explantion for the sudden entry and exit 
                    of Sunil's mother (Shakuntala) who just kicks her son around 
                    for reasons best known to her. We are told that she came out 
                    prison after serving a life term for murdering her husband! 
                    The scene looks senseless. But for Aryan Rajesh, debutante 
                    Namita and Tanikella Bharani, non-deserve attention. Tanikella 
                    is different in this film and looks dignified. Music is good, 
                    but dance numbers, towards the end, have needless inter-cuts 
                    of comedian's expression. Photography is the technical highlight 
                    of the film.
