Venkatesh and Trisha Two silent men in Telugu cinema start their new year with a bang. Sreenu Vaitla who is on a success spree delivers another entertaining movie. Well both of them use the same formula to churn laughs. The director uses faction plot, romance, and Brahmanandam/Jayaprakash Reddy/Bharat to keep the story moving and garnishes it with plenty of songs.
Venkatesh does try something different at times but his bio-data shows that his run-of-the-mill stories work out better during festive season for whatever reason it may be. Instead of being content doing romance and fights, Venky wears his comedy coat and with Brahmanandam on his side they pull off a lengthy drama that ends predictably.
Venky plays the role of a man who's not married yet as his dream girl hasn't yet arrived. When she does, he is made to believe that she is in love with him and the heroine and her uncle take him for a ride. The heroine is in love with Aakash but like in all films when they are about to get married, the hero attempts a sacrificial act and there is a change of heart in the heroine. To lengthen the drama, and to make it colourful, a faction background is added.
This is not a brilliant or a novel movie but the strength lies in blending the humour into a faction narrative. Also it does not get onto the nerves of the audiences, with a good technical execution, picturesque locations and some sentiment towards the end that all good men are rewarded the film becomes complete.
Trisha this time doesn't get much to do, as Venkatesh and Brahmanandam steal the show. Jayaprakash Reddy's work is as fine as eve. The script and screenplay has a lot of wit and Vaitla's execution too is definitely commendable, as he manages to keep his audiences entertained with a bit of comedy as well as drama.
When there are no words, the situations look funny. Many films fail when there is no adequate romance between the hero and the heroine. Luckily here, there is not much, sometimes it looks absent but the comedy covers up for everything. Venkatesh's flair for humour, average performances by the rest, a fair script, an entertaining screenplay…and yes, the hero's intermittent prayers to Lord Venkatesa makes sure the film is definitely a good watch
