Story

It all begins on the backdrop of a village where Geeta (Tamannah) grows under the doted shade of her father Subramanyam (Nasser) who takes care of everything for her and she is equally attached to him. She comes to Hyderabad for her further studies and stays at her uncle Gachibowli Diwakar (Brahmanandam) house, her cousin has a group of friends and one among them is the happy and playful Siddharth (Siddharth). He is a big Casanova for girls and though he always has a smile on his face, there is a sad past as his mother Rajyalakshmi (Ramya) is living separately from his father Prakash (Prakashraj). Apparently both of them have a love marriage too. Eventually, both Siddhu and Geeta fall in love and the time comes for Siddhu to ask Geeta's hand in marriage. Subramanyam says that if Siddhu can unite his parents and get them together, he is willing for the proposal. From then on starts the efforts and trials of both Siddhu and Geetha to get Prakash and Rajyalakshmi together. Whether they are successful or not and will Siddhu be in a position to marry Geeta or not forms the rest of the story.

Artistes and technicians

Siddharth has come up with his regular performance and he has been good at few scenes but a strong influence of 'Bommarillu' performance can be seen in this one too. Tamannah looks gorgeous but then her acting needs to be more flexible. Make up for her was bad. Prakashraj came up with his effective performance while Ramya was quite subdued. Brahmanandam did his bit to contribute but more than him, it was Venu Madhav who scored more on the comedy track. The others did not have much to say and contributed in their own way. The director has come up with a regular plot and though the presentation was good, the film was lacking depth in its narration. The dialogues were alright, the script was written neatly but it did not have content, screenplay was breezy, full marks to the music, background score, cinematography department as they did very well on their front. Editing was quite haphazard, costumes were trendy and other departments were minimal.

Highlights

* Songs

* Technical values

* Siddharth and Tamannah

Drawbacks

lack of depth

missing emotional content

continuity

First half and second half

While the first half passes off peacefully with the share of laughs and the eventual romance, it is the second half that takes a slow turn into seriousness and melodrama. Overall, the pace was moderate. 

Report

The film had a very decent idea of building up the importance of family and the need for love more than anything else but then since the subject is related to emotional issues, it was expected to hold the nerves at few points and before the audience could feel it, the next scene came in. There were a few instances where a tinge of 'Bommarillu' was felt. The film could have been a lot better had the makers focused on bringing in more gravity than melodrama at emotional scenes. However, the star value and the breezy screenplay will take the movie to a decent mark and it could be an option to watch the movie with families.

Recommendation

A passable family drama, can be watched once
