Krishnakanth alias Krish (Ram) is a happy go lucky guy who is a nice lad but then he is educated upto intermediate and loafs around with his good buddy (Sunil). Krish lives with his caring brother and sister-in-law (Naresh and Jhansi) and deciding to put an end to all his problems, he decides to lure a educated and earning girl so that he can get married to her and lead his life. His prayers get answered when he chances upon Manju (Sheela) and thinks she is the ideal one. He spins a tale of fictitious love in front of her and he is partly successful in his goal since Manju begins to fall in love with him slowly and steadily looking at his nature. Just when things began to look better for Krish, trouble comes in the form of Meenu (Hansika) who is exactly fitting the bill of the story that he had fabricated. Not only that, a powerful politician Sivaji (Pradeep) is out to kidnap her while Simhachalam (Mukesh) is keen on killing her. Who is Meenu? What is the political link she has? What happens to Krish and his love story plans? Watch the movie to unravel the suspense.

Artistes and technicians

Ram has come out with a good performance and he seems to be improving with each passing film of his, though his expressions are stiff at few places, he has done well in the dance and the stunt departments. He has an elegant charm which will work its way with the audience. Hansika was hot and sexy for the first time unlike the usual soft and shy characters and she had enough glamour from her end. Even better was Sheela with her naturally seductive poise and she has shown her mettle in glamour by coming out with good oomph, Sheela has also scored in the acting department where Hansika could improve. Sunil was the hilarious giver for a major part of the first half, Brahmanandam was apt, Mukesh and Pradeep Rawat were evil enough and have come out with a mean performance which was perfect to the role. Jhansi was top notch, Naresh was valuable. The director has come out with a subject that covers all genres of audience and he has been quite matured in his narrative and taking care of the presentation too

Cinematography deserves special mention with the angles and framing while the music had about three songs worth humming. The script was neat, dialogues had few punchlines, screenplay was professional, locations were beautiful and the costumes were impressive. The other departments did their bit to contribute.

Highlights

technical values

glamour from Hansika, Sheela

political touch to the plot

Drawbacks

comedy could have been more effective

First half and second half

While the first half goes about with the comedy track and the romance track in the light hearted mode, the second half takes a serious turn with the violence, romantic confusion and the political drama. The pace was consistent throughout.

Report

The makers have come in with a breezy entertainer and there is not a single area that has not been touched to ensure that it is a full length commercial treat. The film has given rise to a new angle of image for both heroines and Ram has shown his mettle in all departments with more ease and confidence. This will surely appeal the mass, class and the youth audience and though there are no shock points or high value scenes that will remain in heart forever, it truly serves the mind of the light hearted audience who are out for some entertainment. The genre is mixed so it will work at the box office
