How Sudheer saved themselves and Narayana murthy from Munna bhai (Prakash Raj) and gang with the help of a police inspector Shiva (Lakshmi Manchu) is the story. What is the reason behind locking them in the resort? Will Sudheer and Rani escape from the resort? If escaped will they have a happy ending forms the rest of the story.
Presentation:
Though the film barely has some story attached to it but the scenes enacted by Ravi Teja were good. Charmi & Lakshmi Manchu did justice to their respective roles. Brahmanandam and Prakaash Raj are routine. Brahmanandam keeps you entertained in few scenes. Remaining artists like Brahmaji, Subba Raju Supreet, Prakash Raj and Sunil were just tolerable.
RGV shooting the whole film in a Canon 5D camera is definitely praiseworthy. Editing wise, the movie has very little job. Some sequences were annoying with same kind of background score like in other RGV’s films.
Plus:
1. Raviteja
2.Lakshmi Manchu
3. Cannon 5D
4. Charmi
5. Run-Time
Minus:
1. Screenplay
2. Storyline
3. Drag in second half
Survi Verdict:
RGV has concentrated more on publicity gimmicks like film in five days than on the story & Screenplay. Much hyped but a waste product. I Dont Recommend You.
Bottom-Line: Experiment is good but execution is flagitious.
Today watched dongala mootha,acting based all done well,due to poor story audience fedup,RGV again used old formula, directly he copied some scenes from darna mana hai,road,sunil prakash raj ki inka preference iste baguntundi, 15years back e movie vacchinte koncham hit autuntundo yemo, RGV-Raviteja fans oka sari cinema chudocchu,bere audience ki cheppe avasaram ledu.
