One look at the title of the movie, you might be tempted to step inside the theatre to look at what is there in the movie, although deep down in your heart you could have the feeling that you may be wasting your time. I would strongly advise you to listen to your heart, failing which you could end up with a severe headache the way I did, when I had to fill in this coloumn.

Here's the story of a three-hour movie, in one line. It is about how the hero convinces the brother of her lover, who is a big goonda and has enough sense to persuade the hero to first become a millionaire before considering marriage , after they had eloped without taking the money so carefully stolen by hero's brother, from his boss who is another goonda, to give him. If you had trouble reading the line, I would strongly advise you to forget it. If it had your interest kindled about the movie, I feel extremely sorry for you. Such is the one-liner story stretched unneccessarily and makes you feel that you never had your money's worth watching it. How I wished I was among the one who happily walked out of the hall within the first hour of the movie, but duty prevented me to do so and the only motivation I had was that I could in fact prevent a lot of others from watching this stuff.
    
If you had to comment on the performances of the leads in the film, you had to think hard to carefully select the best performance, because there is a severe competition for non-performing artists in the film. The heroine would come first or rather last in the list of performers in this film. Heroine Chitra is very artificial in her expressions and you get the feeling that this girl is straight out of an acting school which specializes in cartoon characters. Then comes the hero of the film, Ajay who is the brother of popular comedian Ali. His real name is Khayyum and he's done a few films earlier with that name. However for what, God knows, he changed his name to become a hero. As an actor he doesn't inspire much and as a dancer, which Tollywood has rather unfortunately come to expect of all heroes offlate, he is a non-starter. Hence the future rather seems to be bleak for this young lad. So, It's a name change that he has to keep for not too long. The comedy track is taken care of by Ali, Brahmanandam and MS Narayana. Ali who comes in as a enunch is funny but sometimes reaches unreasonable levels.

Technical aspects of this movie are no better, and are perfectly in tune with the movie's insipid story. Commenting about the screenplay which swings between the  absolutely ridiculous to frivolously entertaining. If you thought that mass movies from the Megastar and Co. are disgusting, One look at this movie will make you realise why those mass movies are so much better than these kind of stuff they make in Tollywood. Despite the bad script and unimaginative direction, Chakri has come up with some decent numbers in the movie, though none of them stay on your lips after you come out of the hall.

Finally, if you want to escape the heat of your city and prepared to shell out Rs.30 for a good sleep for 3 hours with AC comfort, you can go for this movie, without a second thought. You won't find too much disturbance in the way of crowds. Only people like you will come and watch this movie.
