After his unimpressive debut in ‘Vidyarthi’, Ramesh tries to bounce back with the dubbed version of his Tamil film ‘Nee Venunda Chellam’ titled as ‘Pogarubothu’. But to his hard luck, this film too miscarriages. Neither the direction nor the acting is upto expectations. Ramesh is simply a big nuisance to watch on screen and even the presence of glamour queens like Namita and Gajala don’t help the movie from pitching down. To put it briefly, a pathetic watch indeed!

Krishna (Ramesh) is a charming lad who is admired by many beauties. He comes from a very humble background. Although, he is flocked by many girls, he never pays heed to any and resolutely waits for the right girl to arrive. On the other hand, Ashok (Vincent Ashokan) is a street rowdy who deeply loves Anjali (Namita) and is so overprotective and over possessive about her that he never restrains from bashing anybody who happens to even look at her.

On one occasion, Krishna chances upon Gita (Gajala) and immediately loses his heart to her. He tries to woo her by doing numerous favors but he never comes open about it. With the advice of his friend, he writes a love letter to her but accidentally, the letter falls into her father’s (Tilagan) hand. Furious at this, the girl’s father decides to teach him a lesson. Instead of handing the letter to his daughter, he directs the letter to Anjali.

Accordingly, Anjali goes to the restaurant and after watching Krishna, she falls head over heels in love with him. But no sooner Ashok learns about it he sends goons to smash him. But Krishna bravely confronts and does away with all of them. Later, Krishna clears off all Anjali’s doubts by spilling out the truth. Nevertheless, Anjali’s heart continues to throb for him.

On the other hand, Krishna and Gita stumble over each other at a temple and love blooms between the two. Anjali who views Gita as the main cause for her heartbreak is hell bent on getting her out of the way. She agrees to Ashok’s proposal for marriage on the condition that he brings her Gita’s slain head as her wedding gift. True to his words, Ashok rushes to fetch her prize but Krishna intercedes again and saves her.

The climax shows the psyched Anjali trying to eliminate Gita but stops when Krishna says that she cannot ever win his love. Aghast by this declaration, she ends up killing herself. This film too like all other spicy potpourri sails towards a happy ending with the union of two loving hearts.

Ramesh’s acting is awfully bad and so is his body language. The actor could not do much in the dance tracks as well as in his action stunts. Gajala looks decent in her well-framed role. Even Namita looks sultry and steaming hot in her role. Vincent Ashokan tends to go a little overboard with his performance.

One of the biggest forte of this film is its meticulously choreographed stunt sequence. Kudos to Dalapati Dinesh for coming up with such mind-blowing action stunts that nowhere appears over the top. Another strength of the film is its comedy. Vivek is hilariously funny all through.

This film falls prey to badly written script and poor editing. Ramesh’s dismal performance just adds to its bad taste. This film particularly has nothing to make it stand out from the rest. Bad script, pathetic narration and fragile performances sums up to make it an ignorable one.
