Story: The story takes place in a village called venkatapuram, Veera babu(Siddhartha) and Varalakshmi are childhood friends and they fall in love after a couple of teasing scenes and songs .  Varalakshmi’s father (Ahuthi Prasad) is more particular about their rich status, so he fixes her marriage with other guy(Samrat). What happens to the love story of Veera Babu- Vara love story? How it ends forms the rest?

 

Performances: Siddhartha has done decent job, He performed well. Rajendra Prasad is okay. Pranitha looked pretty. Ahuthi Prasad is okay. Brahmanandam and Ali are wasted. Story is a mixture of earlier flicks which is narrated poorly. Cinematography is good. Music by Chakri is Average. Editing can be better. Direction is poor.

 

Analysis: Siddhartha has done good job when it comes to performance, his characterization appeared similar to the one in “AATA”. He performed it with much ease; he performed well in the Scene where he talks with Ahuthi Prasad in the pre-Climax episode. Pranitha is cute and pretty and has done an okay job, looked well in half sarees. Rajendra Prasad is good in the role of father; he performed brilliantly and left his mark in the final scene. The comedy Spoof of Varudu by Brahmanandam and Ali was poorly conceived. Hero friends’ gang has done reasonably well. Samrat tried a role with negative shades this time.

          Story is old, Screenplay is weak, and it’s predictable. Direction is old fashioned. The story reminds you of many flicks- the flashback narration of Rajendra Prasad is similar to “LOVE AAJ KAL”, Competition between the hero and villain reminds us LAKSHMI KALYANAM (kalyan Ram).Cinematography is good. Editing is weak, can be better (especially Second half).Music by Chakri is Average-a couple of songs are catchy. Background score is poor. Production values are okay.

        Movie starts with the voiceover of Sai Kumar, starts off on an interesting note. Hero-heroine teasing scenes and the scenes with friends have come out well. The first half is okay, the second half is stretched to maximum and it bores you much. You can’t stop looking at your watch frequently.

 

Plus: Performances by Siddhartha and Rajendra Prasad

Minus: Screenplay, Narration

 

Verdict: Below Average, watch it only if you have nothing else left to do
