 Director’s immaturity turns a bane for producer
Boni suffered several drawbacks. The producer, director and the heroine were debutants. Though the storyline chosen for the subject is a little off-beat and different from routine love stories with action in its backdrop, the immaturity of the director proved a bane and cost heavily for the first-time producer Ramana Gogula. Especially the haphazard screenplay and imperfect presentation of the story on the celluloid tested the patience of the audiences completely.
Pragati (Kriti Karbanda) is the daughter of agriculture minister (Ahuti Prasad). She had great thoughts for the uplift of the poor villagers and launches a non-profit based NGO. Once she comes to know that the farmers of an entire village owed money to a money-lender, who gets the decree from court to take over the lands of the poor farmers. As per the court order the farmers had to repay Rs 4 crore to the money lender or lose their lands. Pragati wants to help them and appeals to her father to help them. However, being a politician he behaves like an opportunist. In order to complete her promise, Pragati wants to enact a kidnap drama and demand Rs 4 crore as ransom from her father to help the villagers. But the same drama plan boomerangs and some other ruffians take her away. However, she keeps believing that it was all her drama plan. Soon she realizes that it was not the drama as was planned by her but she was kidnapped really. DD (Sumant) and Chinna (Trinetrudu) are childhood friends and both of them are orphans and were brought up in an orphanage. Their wish is to start a Pulihora centre. For that purpose, they save money but a girl cheats DD and runs away with that money. So, DD and Chinna kidnaps Pragati to earn money for Pulihora centre. Did they able to begin Pulihora Centre? Did they demand ransom from Pragati’s father? Did he accept their demand? Who is really behind the kidnap of Pragati? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax. PERFORMANCE Sumant, though tried to change his image from a soft hero to action hero, once again failed in his attempt. But he was able to manage in the hero’s role. Tanikella Bharani and Jayaprakash Reddy are okay in their roles. Once again, Chandramohan played a negative role in the movie. The heroine, though a debutant, tried to imitate the Bollywood top heroines like Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone. She failed to perform nor has the physique to attract the young audiences.  TECHNICAL:
The director’s immaturity in direction was glaring in each and every frame in the movie. He doesn’t know how to present the subject which was in his mind properly and in a bid to present the film in a different style, scripted the screenplay in a haphazard manner and the end result is a big puzzle. The story of the film is no doubt, novel and off beat, which is different from routine love subjects with action in its backdrop. Nobody knows what he is doing. The director, the hero, the villain and the audiences were in a state of confusion as to what was happening on the screen. Though a couple of songs are okay, not many songs are catchy. It is not known, why the hero and heroine are running and why the villains are chasing and it is absurd how the entire police administration kept mum when the daughter of a minister was kidnapped. Moreover, a police inspector executes the kidnap drama. ANALYSIS: The narration is pathetic. The screenplay is slapdash and the entire running of the film is a complete mess. But for the basic storyline, the film has nothing perfect. With no commercial values, the film though appears to have a mass touch failed to appease the mass audiences nor the young audiences. Cast: Sumanth, Kriti, Trinetrudu, Tanikella Bharani, Jayaprakash Reddy, Satya Prakash, Ahuti Prasad, Chandramohan, Babloo, Venu, Sutti Velu, Sudha, Surekhavani, and others.
