Producer: Chanti Addala Director: Ramesh Varma Cast: Tarun, Saloni, Raja Music: Devisri Prasad
Publicity designer Ramesh Varma takes his steps towards direction with this film. The quality of the film holds its key to the good direction by him, fantastic performances by Tarun, Saloni and Raja and exclusive cinematography. Among the pluses the only minus factor in the film is its slow narration.
The three leading stars have got a good amount of scenes and so none of them look exempted. Ramesh Varma has brilliantly brought in the scenes keeping pace with the spontaneity of the film. Tarun hugs the film for the first part of the film while Raja appears in the second part. The story is set in the village milieu initially though latter it moves on to city.
The story of the film is about three friends Srinu (Tarun), Lalita (Saloni) and Ravi (Raja). They’re childhood friends until destiny makes Ravi to part from them and move to the city. Srinu and Lalita fall in love with each other. They elope when Srinu’s father protest. They go to city and take refuge in the house of Ravi. But due to the circumstances they get separated and Lalita ends up her luck with Ravi.
Tarun has given quality work and commendable performance. He proves his mettle as an actor once again. Raja has done well in his respective territory. He also has a pivotal role to render in the film. Saloni had a meaty role in the film. She too has enacted good. She proves her strength in the emotional scenes. The supporting casts like Naresh, Nirosha, MS Narayana, Ali and Yamuna have also done well. Sunil and Brahmanandam have done good comedy in the film.
Though the first half of the film go strong with the love story of Tarun and Saloni, the second half being slow paced looses grip. Cinematography is one of the highlights of the film. Arjun has done a good job bringing out the rural locales of AP. Music by Devisri is mediocre. The story is nothing novel but the presentation is good. The screenplay falters. Ramesh Varma proves his skill in directing the emotional; scenes though in regard of story and screenplay he fails to hold on.
