He chances upon Jyothi (urmila) who works as a servant maid in the nearby apartment. Though Venu wants to propose he doesn’t have the courage. On the other hand, a teenage girl Aarti (manisha) lives in the same apartment and she is being chased constantly by Ritesh (mithun) a spoiled brat living in the same apartment. Not stopping at that, Ritesh lures Aarti and ends up recording few obscene videos with her. She discovers it and decides to complaint to the police. But Ritesh uses his criminal mind and wants to kill Aarti. But the duo of Venu-Jyothy gets caught in this. How that happens? What happens in the end forms the rest of the story.
Presentation :
The director has come up with a very different storyline and while the presentation was realistic, the narrative was intense. The dialogues were okay. The script was natural and the screenplay was moderate. Background score was good and but the songs were not upto the mark. Cinematography was adequate. Editing was necessary in second half. Costumes didn’t have much to do while the art department was suiting the environment. Sree has come up with an apt performance and his face suits the role. Urmila was natural and she does most of the act through her eyes. Manisha was alright, Mithun was good. The others didn’t have much scope to perform.
Conclusion :
It is a nice thing to show things as realistic as possible but care should be taken not to make an overdose and give it a tragic end. This usually causes a depressing effect. While the first half is somewhat okay with few lighter and tender moments, the second half gets into various twists and turns leading to a bitter experience for the audience. The overdose of reality and choice of absolutely downtrodden characters is suited for an art film than a mainstream cinema, atleast in Telugu. At the box office, the film will find it hard to score success.
Idlestars Verdict : Over Realistic.
