Ravi (Ravi Krishna) is leading a miserable life since many years. Fortunately he takes everything light. Despite constant thrashings from his father and sundry insults, he goes through life drinking with his hilarious cronies and failing impartially in all his college subjects. But everything changes when Anita (Sonia Agarwal) walks into his neighbourhood and straight into his heart. And the portrayal of this love is just as hammy as that last sentence. Being a clueless roadside Romeo type, Ravi presses his suit through the routine methods: he engraves her name on his hand, he beats up other boys who look at his "figure", and he slips his hand into her dress. This last transgression just about does it for Anita and she gives him a solid piece of her mind, stressing to him in no uncertain terms that if he were the last cockroach on earth, she'd mate with a guy. Something to that effect.

Analysis :

Ravi Krishna: Casting the right person for the right role brings accolades not only to the actor (histrionics) but also to the director (characterization). The trade secret of success of any artist lies in the kind of character he/she choose play as per his/her strengths, looks and body language. And Ravi Krishna is the best actor to play the role of Ravi in this film. He did so well that people would think if he grew up in those kinds of flats and that kind of psychology. It is an author-backed role. And Ravi Krishna did it with great poise. He is not good in looks department. He is not good at dances as well. But suited the character and that's what matters. His dialogue delivery, though has some Chennai-bred Telugu boy's accent, is decent. Sonia Agarwal's role has lots of complexity and goes through different moods. Sonia Agarwal did exceptionally well to carry those subtle expressions. Looks wise too she is good. Story of the film is realistic. It is also said to be based on true story. Direction of the film is sensible. Screenplay is slick. The characterization of Ravi and Anita is simply terrific. The narration is bit slower. It needs guts and commitment to have tragic climax in films. Kudos to Sri Raghava for his bold attempt! However, the director went overboard in certain scenes by making the vulgarity to creep in (though most of those scenes replicas of are real-world incidents). The director Sri Raghava (known as Selva Raghavan in Tamil) has the element of sex in all his films - be it Tulluvatho Illamai (Juniors in Telugu), Kadhal Konden (Nenu in Telugu) or 7/G Brindavan Colony. This film also shows a scene involving premarital sex (initiated by the girl). But the credit of making this scene not an obscene one goes to the director himself. Here are few episodes that were brilliantly executed by the director

TeluguOne Perspective :

Dialogues by AM Ratnam are colloquial. The pre-interval dialogue is pretty good. There is lots of response from crowds for the bit - Aiswarya Rai ante andariki istame. Kaani andariki Aiswarya dorakadu. Andukani pelli kaani abbailu vere ammailani preminchadamledaa. Pelli aina vallu pellalatho samsaram cheyyadam leda?' (A dialogue that reinforces the willingness of Ravi to befriend Anita though she is getting married to another guy). First one hour of the film is devoted for youth entertainment about how boy gets desperate with the girl. The emotion catches up from the moment boy is slapped by the girl. The interval block is great and the climax is very impressive. This film starts with light-hearted entertainment and ends up with heavy emotions. This film showcases the scene-weaving abilities (screenplay) of Sri Raghava who narrated the first two hours of film with a mundane subject. Doing a tragic climax and making it commercially acceptable is one hell of a task. And Sri Raghava succeeded in it. This film would become a good hit and the acceptance of tragic climax by the masses would determine the range of this film. I would add this film to the dare-to-be-different genre of commercially successful love stories released this year - Arya and Anand. You must watch it!
