Full
of
comedy
sans
smiles
Director-cum-producer CV Reddy thought of choosing a romantic subject but failed to mould it on the silver screen. He had taken on a Hollywood flick Just Married in which a young man faces several troubles in a bid to enjoy his honeymoon. After choosing the storyline, he thought of make it as an entertainer and added comedy track to give it a flavour of nativity. The narration of the subject is quite outdated and as a result it failed to suit the present generation youth.
Balu (Sivabalaji) is a manager in a firm run by Hitler (Brahmanandam). He wanted to marriage a girl who looked quite homely and is in search of a dream girl. His ambition is to marry that lovely girl and go abroad for honeymoon. Once he comes across one such girl called Swapna (Mythili). Somehow he wins her love and marries her with the consent of her parents (Tanikella Bharani and Sana). After their marriage, he starts leading a good life. On the other side of the coin, Hitler always thinks that his wife Sarala (Sarala) should be like a woman which was said in puranas. He treats as a servant (Karyeshu Dasi), some times asks her suggestions (Karaneshu Mantri), plays like a child while taking means (Bhojyeshu Mata) and wanted his wife look beautiful (Sayaneshu Rambha). But she could not bear this torture of playing different shades of characters in real life.
At this juncture the bank in which Balu saved his money for his honeymoon trip turns bankrupt and he loses the whole savings. Depressed over the situation, Balu meets Hitler and asks him to arrange the money for his honeymoon trip as an advance from his salary, but he refuses it. Once, Hitler goes to a Mahila Mandali (Women's Club) to give a lecture on women and gets bashed for his outbursts. Learning about the incident, Balu goes to him and suggests him to change his attitude. Realising his folly, Hitler turns a changed man but his wife could not understand why the sudden change and fears that he had mental retardation. Hitler gets shifted to mental asylum. Balu comes to know about this and reveals the truth to Sarala. Both of them reach hospital to get him back. By that time, Sarala's brother Bosubabu (Raghubabu) kidnaps him and demands to give his entire property. Balu rescues him from the kidnappers. Finally, Hitler, who has no children, decides to adopt Balu as their son and sends him to honeymoon with Swapna. The story ends on a happy note.
Plus:
The
comedy
track
directed
by
Relangi
Nageswara
Rao
came
out
excellently.
However,
the
comedy
could
be
enjoyed
only
on
the
screen,
but
could
not
remember
those
scenes
after
some
time.
Sivabalaji,
who
played
the
solo
hero,
possibly
for
the
first
time,
did
his
best.
Mythili
looked
gorgeous
in
a
couple
of
scenes
and
is
just
okay.
She
has
not
much
scope
for
performance
but
for
a
couple
of
scenes.
The
comedy
track
run
between
Sunil
and
Kondavalasa
is
okay.
Minus:
Poor
storyline,
insipid
screenplay
killed
the
tempo
of
the
film.
There
is
not
much
scope
for
performance
for
the
hero
but
to
go
to
dreams
and
shakes
his
legs
with
the
heroine
in
dream
songs.
Even
the
choreography
is
a
major
let
down.
Once
again,
the
police
department
was
taken
for
a
ride
and
were
proved
as
jokers.
It
is
unfortunate,
why
the
so
called
directors
and
writers
make
a
mockery
of
the
police
department.
Remarks:
The
film
was
made
with
a
theme
of
a
Hollywood
flick.
As
was
already
mentioned,
the
film
is
made
with
the
inspiration
of
Just
Married
directed
by
Shawn
levy
with
Ashton
Kutzer
and
Britney
Murphy
as
hero
and
heroine.
However,
the
taste
of
CV
Reddy
is
laudable
as
three
of
the
songs
were
choreographed
in
the
beautiful
locales
of
Thailand
and
Switzerland.
But
the
technicians
failed
to
make
use
of
the
richness
of
the
film.
A
below
average
flick
and
not
a
must
watch
film.
