Story:

A passable tale, the story begins with Ramakrishna (kalyanram) whose aim is to get into the national football team. He has a huge family which dotes on him and among them, he dotes on his sister Haritha (saranya mohan). He keeps protecting her at all times and the time comes when he has to go to the selections. Meanwhile, Haritha goes missing and the family members convince Ramakrishna that she will be back. However, he discovers Haritha being chased by few goons and they are led by Mohan Krishna (shaam). What happened to Haritha? Why was she chased? What does Ramakrishna do this time? all this forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with a routine tale and though the presentation was good, the narrative could have been better. The dialogues were okay, the script was predictable, the screenplay was regular. Background score was good but only two songs were nice. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was moderate. Costumes were neat and art department was alright. Kalyanram does his bit with maturity and he didn’t cross the line much, Sana Khan sizzled wherever possible and filled the glamour quotient, Shaam was upto the mark. Brahmi, Venu Madhav, Dharmavarapu managed few smiles, Ahuti Prasad was neat, Kota was excellent, Ajay was effective. The others didn’t have much to offer.

Conclusion:

Movies on sister sentiment have come quite often so there is nothing new in terms of the story or its execution. While the first half goes about with the regular elements of comedy, romance and fights, the second half gets all sentimental and melodramatic. Perhaps the film could have been lot better if focus was given on the content and few extra twists were added during the second half. The technical values were good. At the box office, this might appeal the TV serial audience to an extent but it might be an average grosser.
