Three edged love stories have become almost clichéd in the industry. Time in and time out several potboilers with triangular love base have cropped up like wild fern. However, Mallikarjun Yeluri’s new big screen venture, even if twisted towards this hackneyed plot promises of some novelty at the least.

Due credit should be given to the director for trimly knitting and tersely narrating the story. Even the choice of actors is laudable who seems to completely fit the bill. The only hitch in the proceedings is that the film tends to lug at places.

Murali Krishna (Sivaji) is a young, jobless guy in search of a job. Sindhu (Sindhu), also an unemployed, sits for a job interview together with Murali. But she manages to pocket in the job with her sly wit. Later she confesses to Murali about the off beam way in which she earned the job. After coming to know the truth they become good friends.

Meanwhile Sindhi has to move out of the town due to her posting in Vizag. After she leaves, Murali meets Supriya (Nikita).  Supriya is very much in need of a job. So she together with Murali goes to Araku in search of job. There they meet Mathew who notifies them about a job interview at 6:00 in the evening.

But incidentally, Mathew leaves the place after locking the house, unaware of the fact that Murali and Supriya are still inside. Thus, the two are locked in the house for three days during which big confusion builds up between them. Nevertheless by the end of the third day, they are smitten by love.

As they have missed the interview, they return home empty handed. After coming back home, Murali is surprised and utterly overwhelmed to find a job offer awaiting him. He rushes to Supriya’s house to tell her the good news but is shattered to get the news of her death. He finds it extremely difficult to come to terms with this bitter truth unless his friend Raghu (Ali) makes him realize the loss.

Murali is jittered by the incident but gradually decides to move on with life. He joins his new job where he once again comes upon Sindhu. Their Sindhu is made to believe by one of her colleagues that she is in love with Murali.

When Sindhu confides her feelings to him, Murali politely declines citing that he is still very much in love with Supriya and cannot accept her love. Meanwhile, Sindhu comes across Supriya at her workplace in Vizag. There she learns about Sindhu’s tender feelings for Murali and demands that Murali should know that the love of his life is still alive.

In the end, Supriya unites Murali and Sindhu and slowly disappears from their love scene.

Sivaji appears to be extremely comfortable while portraying this kind of roles. His performance here is quite commendable. Judging the performances of the two actresses, Sindhu and Nikita, they not only look stupendous but their acting delivery is equally good. Moreover, they get ample chance to perform and pull it off brilliantly. Cinematography by Santosh Srinivas is marvelous. Even the tracks are well choreographed.

On the flip side, this film is a prey to hackneyed script. Moreover, the comic scenes are scantily drawn out and hardly evoke any laughter.

This film sans any violence will be well appreciated by family crowds. But there is nothing that makes it for a really great watch. A time-pass film on the whole.
