 Rajasekhar turns angry young man again
Rajasekhar played the role of an angry young man in many films earlier and all those films were big hits. However, he had no notable hits to his credit in recent times. Though he faced successive flops, he did not give up acting and at the same time, he started trying his luck on his routine chosen path of selecting successful films from other languages. He tried his luck by selecting ‘Hello’ a Malayalam hit film as the subject for his latest film. However, the success mantra of Malayalam film industry failed repeat the same magic in Telugu and the response to his film on the first day itself proved that the people almost started ignoring him as hero.
Sivaram (Rajasekhar) is a promising young advocate. Once an innocent girl comes to him and pleads with him to save her brother, who was implicated in a murder case by an MLA and the real culprit is none other than his son. Sivaram takes up the case and successfully argues it and saves her brother. Not only that, he ensures the culprit punished. Soon, the MLA’s son (the culprit) commits suicide. Though Sivaram saves her brother from getting convicted by the court, the MLA’s men kill him in a road accident. The girl turns an orphan and Sivaram consoles her and takes her into his lap. Soon they fall in love with each other and Sivaram decides to marry her. But Sivaram’s parents (Chalapati Rao and Annapurna), brother (Benarjee) did not accept their love and marriage. They house arrest Sivaram and the girl commits suicide. Sivaram develops hatred against his parents and brother and turns a drunkard by leaving his profession. Once he gets a frantic call from Parvati (Bhoomika) that someone kidnapped her and she was in trouble. Learning that she was in trouble, Sivaram goes to her and saves her. Parvati tells Sivaram that her family members were planning to kill her and appeals him to take her to a safer place. Sivaram takes her to his house. Parvati wins the hearts of all the family members and change Sivaram too by keeping him off from drink. Soon, Parvati comes to know from Kiran, whom she trusted in the house that her father was coming from the US and Sivaram tries to take her to Kiran. Some goons attack them and meanwhile, Kiran takes her away forcibly. Why Kiran takes away Parvati forcibly? Who really planned to kill Parvati? What sort of benefit did they get by killing her? Who is the culprit? Who were doing all the murders? Who demanded Rs 5 crore from Parvati’s father and why? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax. PERFORMANCE: Dr Rajasekhar is okay in his role. He did justice to his role. However, he went overboard in a handful of scenes and he failed to portray the character of a drunkard properly. His face failed to suit the image of a drunkard and it appeared too dramatic and cinematic. Bhoomika looked gorgeous in the film and gained some weight. However, she has not much scope to perform and it is surprising how she agreed to the role, as there is no weight at all for her role in the film. Ali did the hero’s sidekick and he got frequent slaps from Rajasekhar for no fault of him. Brahmanandam and Venumadhav tried to tickle the funny bones of audiences but succeeded only to a certain extent. Annapurna and others are okay.  TECHNICAL
The film has nothing to offer anything great as the story has no novelty at all. It is a routine commercial formula film that would have been a hit in 80s or 90s. The director attempted to maintain a little suspense drama till the end of first half, but everything gets revealed one after the other. Anoop Rubens provided tunes for the film which turned average. The haphazard screenplay, not so gripping story, poor narration on screen proved the director’s immaturity. He stretched the first half beyond the permissible levels and tested the patience of audiences. Except the hero’s flashback, the first half has nothing to watch. The second half of the film also is not so great and the entire story was narrated like fast-forwarding a recorded tape in the climax. An average audience could not understand what was happening and how the hero is narrating the story. Editing of the story by a senior like Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao also failed to save the audiences. ANALYSIS: It is nothing but a routine commercial formula film and those who look for something novel would definitely doesn’t like this film. At least choreography of songs too was atrocious and appeared like a drill by a school student. A person who is about 35, and moreover the person is an advocate by profession is not expected to dance like that on the screen. The entire film was totally cinematic and has nothing near to nativity. A film which you can conveniently ignore as it has neither any entertainment value nor had a great story.
