An attempt by Bhaskar to steer free of usual ‘boy-loves-girl’ stereotypes prevalent in Tollywood. This film breaks RamCharan Tej’s mass hero image and portrays him in a different angle. Film progresses as a flashback set in Sydney, Australia.
Direction by Bhasker is excellent as is his story.
*Plot*:
This is a more of ‘a Lover’s story’, than a ‘Love Story’. This is the story of the lead actor’s relationships and how they affected him in his life.
The lead actor, Ramcharan Tej believes long term relationships never work, a bitter conclusion from this past experience. He advocates short term love is best and one should enjoy it to the full while it lasts. But his philosophy is put to test after he meets Genelia.
*Characters*:
Ramcheran tried his best to keep the movie interesting with his unusual arguments and advices. His character is fully developed and is heart of the plot. Genelia’s acting is a disappointment. She made the first half of the movie irritating with her retard acting. Shazahn Padamsee’s entry clears the mystery behind the lead character’s unusual philosophy. She made her mark in the movie.
Even thought Brahmanandam’s screen time is very menial he successfully gave some laughs, followed by Avasarala Srinivas and Vennela Kishore.
Rest of the cast is good and did there part.
*Technical*:
–Cinematography by D Rajasekhar and Kiran Reddy is refreshing. They showed Sydney locales in a superb manner.
–Marthand K. Venkatesh, the Editor, should have made those hard choices.He failed to keep the plot more clear.
–Screenplay by Bhasker is…. well, not good. Scenes seems to come and go without proper connection – which is the foremost drawback. The audience were unable to connect to the ‘feel’ or the emotional frame of the movie.
*Music*:
The biggest asset of the movie is the catchy music and background score by none other than Harris Jayaraj. He did justice to the feel of the movie.
*Conclusion*:
“Bhaskar has tempted audience with the fragrance but never allowed them to savor its flavor.”
–Setbacks : Poor screenplay, slow but otherwise intriguing plot, lacking emotional feel.
–Assets : Music, exotic locations, Ramcharan’s characterization.
Finally its worth a watch for its music, exotic locales and a different approach to a love story.
