OUR RATING



What is the film about?
A playboy Ganesh who doesn’t take love seriously and treats girls as sex objects realizing what true love is all about.

How is Adhith’s performance?
When we talk about performances here keep in mind that we are talking about films in the very small budget category that come week in and week out. — is among the better debuts in these smalls category. He looks at ease with the proceedings and is presented decently. He tries all the things that a typical commercial hero tries. His lack of screen presence along with the poor dialogues doesn’t let him create an impact though.



Direction By Nagu Gavara?
Direction by debutant is poor to begin with but gets better as the film progresses. In the end its fairly decent. There is a very simple plot that has to be executed and given the resources he has at hand, one could say he has has done a decent job at beat. The problem however is the basic story and screenplay which are poor.



sandhya chatterjee and others performance?
Heroine has as much screen space as hero which is always a good sign but has it been made use off? The answer would be a resounding no. — lacks screen presence and is poor during the emotional sequences. Even the dubbing given is bad as the dialogues are just recited without any emotion. There are some familiar faces besides them most noticeable being Srihari, MS Narayana, Srinivas Reddy, Rao Ramesh, Prabhas Sreenu etc. They have all pretty small roles or roles that have nothing to do with the main track except that of Prabhas Sreenu.


Sekhar Chandra and other departments?
Music by Sekhar Chandra is alright. Couple of numbers are good and are placed at the right moment giving the right impact. But the choreography is dull for the rest which makes them forgetful. Background score is just about okay. Editing is fine. Dialogues are flat and uninteresting.



Highlights?
Pre climax
Message in pre climax
Music

Drawbacks?
Wafer this storyline
Climax resolution
Ordinary dialogues



Alternative take:
The basic plot is very thin and the entire film runs on a single premise. Instead of going this way the story could have made use of other character like that of Srihari and evolved that track better. It would have helped in better emotional connect at the end that what it is currently for sure.

Did I enjoy it?
No.

Will you recommend it?
No.
