Starring: Ravi Teja, Trisha, Mukul Dev, Sayaji Shinde
Story: Boy Meets Girl. Falls in Love, at first sight. Girl has a big brother. The big brother is okay, but the villain wants to marry her. Boy rescues the damsel from the bad boy and marries her. Oh, yeah. Damage to Scorpios whenever the director wants to add sound and colour to the scene.
See something different? I'll answer that. No. Krishna (Ravi Teja) is a post graduate in computers from Vijayawada, who has conveniently sacrificed his job ( so now he is unrestrained in his wanderings). He falls in love with Sandhya(Trisha) in a temple. So, being the true-lover that he is, he follows her around, all the way to her brother's place in Hyderabad. Her brother, was actually a good guy, but turns into a semi-bad guy because he need to protect his sister from the real bad guys. And so, Krishna, in his following her around, runs into them an takes it on himself to protect her. Thus the chase begins, culminating at the all-too-familiar ending. Interposing, are fights with breakables around (a pity, bangles in this case), Black-Scorpio-convoys for the villain, accidents where the cars do pirouttes in mid air, the hero's ability to survive a hundred blows on his head and still dig his way out when he's buried alive, and still take on a superbly unhurt and healthy bad guy, one-on-one. The first time, maybe ten years back, this style was new, creative and a huge hit. But really, how many times does one have to take this over and over again? What does Vinayak take the public for? The average response its going to get, is purely earned by performances. Every actor does his part, as chalked out for him. Ravi teja as the Angry Lover-boy, Trisha as the delicate little sister-girlfriend, and Mukul Dev as the hearltess philogynist, who's lost his heart to the girl. Comedy-king Brahmanandam steals the show as Bobby, Sandhya's Brother. The other comedians did a good job too. (Where does "The Power of Indrakeeladri" figure?)
Direction is trademark Vinayak style, aimed blatantly at the masses, with nothing much to mention about the script. Having become a fan of Ravi Teja's ever since Rajamouli's Vikramarkudu, I found the movie pretty tolerable, but then i guess, its watchable once. If, there is nothing better to do. Considering the other movies released parallelly, This is the best of the lot.
