Siddardh (Siddardh) falls in love with Meera (Maahi) at first sight. But he makes himself clear that he fell in love with her just because he found her attractive and sexy. He takes quite a few time and effort to convince her about his sincerity in love. But one fine day, he comes to know that she is suffering with a terrible disease which would make her physically handicapped in the future. Siddarth who loves Maahi more for her looks than her inner beauty is taken aback. He stops speaking to her and interacting with her. Meanwhile, his parents fix his marriage to Ridhima (Archana), his close pal since childhood. Would he marry Ridhima or realize the value of love and go back to Meera?
Analysis :
Siddardh is competent in the male lead role. He is at ease and his performance is natural. He can emote emotional scenes with conviction. He need to tone down his body for a longer life as an actor in Tollywood.: Prabhu Deva played a mature role in this film that explains what is love is all about and how a man should treat a girl he loves irrespective of everything else.: Maahi - of Hindi video album 'Ye Vaada' fame - has made her debut in Telugu a couple of years back in Siva Nageswara Rao's 'Ramana'. She is a bad choice as the heroine for this film. She might be good choice for item songs, but not a good one for a full fledged heroine role.Seema's characterization is very delicate in this film. She suited the role to the tee and for all those viewers who wondered why she is wearing her palloo in Benajir Bhutto style, there is an answer for it in climax. She is a surprise pack in the film. She is completely at home while playing the hero's friend character. She did well. The only regular face among the other artists is that of Ali. He did the role of hardcore Chiranjeevi fan, who keeps on mimicking Chiranjeevi using his get-ups from various Chiranjeevi films.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film does not have any story, hence is little boring. Things start rolling in second half. The film is good from the moment it is revealed that heroine is suffering with a disease. The director shown his finesse in handling climax scenes and emotional episodes. It's a clean film. 'Tapana' also shows parents in good light. If targeted towards lady crowds, this film might reach more people.
