Venu (Navadeep) - a student from Rajahmundry's College - falls in love with Anu (Ankita) from Vizag's College at first sight. He wants to get closer to her and win over her heart by participating in a cultural festival at Vizag's college. He finally succeeds in his attempts. There is another guy Amit (Sandeep Sai Krishna) who also loves Anu. A situation is created in which Venu has to win over Amit in a hockey game to prove his credentials. The rest of the story is all about how he wins the game
Analysis :
Navdeep is a casual (no dramatization) actor hence he is apt for the role of a guy with a casual attitude. He does well in this film. Ankita is Ok for the role that offers little scope of histrionics. Ankita looks little elder to tender-looking Navaneet. The debutant Sandeep Sai Krishna is adequate. The kid (Panchatantram fame), excels. Nagababu has a vital role and he does complete justice. Tanikella Bharani is good.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is average. Second half is boring. Hero's intention of winning the heart of the heroine is fulfilled in the first half. The second half has lot of extended scenes. The climax of Hockey game failed to sustain interest as the goal for which hero is playing is not good enough. The main drawbacks of the film are lack of point of conflict to evoke drama and no usage of multiple threads to narrate the story. This film is good in few scenes, but the holistic perspective is missing. This film is a let-down coming from a director of such a high caliber.
