The catch line for this film is 'voice of youth'. Directed
at parents, the film encourages them to listen to their children's
aspirations instead of thrusting their own ambitions on them.
Vasu's (Venkatesh) police officer father (Vijaykumar) expects
his son to study for IPS, whereas the son aspires to be a
musician.
The movie has a novel beginning where Vasu introduces himself
and other characters. He then announces: "I am Vasu and
I am taking coaching for IPS exams as my father wanted me
to." This is the crux of the film.
The next scene shows Vasu tacking a few hooligans, when they
attack his classmates. The rowdies at the receiving end look
so docile as if they are asked to receive blows and not resist.
All the fights in this film are composed in this fashion.
Like in a formula film, these fight scenes are followed by
a dance and song duets, with Divya (Bhoomika).
Vasu has half a dozen friends who form a musical ensemble,
named 'Victory Boys'. The story takes another turn with arrival
of Vasu's demanding father and doting mother (Manjula). He
witnesses Vasu involved in a street brawl and gets to upset,
he just asks his son to "get lost."
Undeterred, Vasu goes knocking at the door of the musical
companies, and the rest of the story shows how he succeeds.
He also manages to win the hand of his ladylove. The narration
is full of contrived situations and the main plot is old wine
in new bottle.
There appears to be a sea change in the looks of Venkatesh
and the make up man did not do any better than adding an odd
patch of beard.
However, Venkatesh is as ebullient as he has been in other
films. Bhoomika has a limited role.
But for the last part, where she encourages Vasu to take to
music, her character remains passive. The comedy is worse,
because of senseless and tasteless scenes.
