Boni – Review

Ramana Gogula has launched his own banner, Green Mangoes Cinema and has chosen to make a film with Sumanth as the hero. Raj Tippalla is making his debut for a full time feature film.

DD (Sumant) and Chinna (Trinetrudu) are orphans. Saraswatamma (Sudha), the caretaker of the orphanage pampers these two children. After the death of Saraswatamma, DD and Chinna decide to fulfill her wish of starting a Pulihora Centre. They become ruffians and work for Giri (Tanikella Bharani), once they grow up. DD and Chinna save money to fulfill their childhood wish but DD"s love Priya runs away with the money. So they decide to do something risky to earn money in no time.

They come to know that Das (Jayaprakash Reddy) is the right person to seek help. On the other side, Pragati (Kriti), who launches an NGO, tries to help a group of villagers whose lands have been snatched by a moneylender. In order to help them, Pragati decides to play a kidnap drama and earn money from her father.

At the time of the execution of the plan, DD and Chinna kidnap her. Pragati believes that she has been kidnapped as per their plan, but soon realizes that it is somebody's plan. But, the innocence of DD helps her in getting her plan executed perfectly. But still the doubt remains as to who has kidnapped her. In the climax, she comes to know that her uncle has planned everything. But, DD and Chinna helps Pragati to complete her mission. The film ends with the union of DD and Pragati.

PLUS
The story of the film is the only plus point as it is novel and is different from routine love subjects with action in its backdrop. But for the story, the film has nothing more to offer. Sumanth, who has tried to change his image from a soft hero to action hero, has once again failed in his attempt. Tanikella Bharani and Jayaprakash Reddy are okay in their roles. Once again, Chandramohan has played a negative role in the movie.

MINUS:
The director"s immaturity in direction is glaring in each and every frame in the movie. In a bid to present the film in a different style he has scripted the screenplay in a haphazard manner and the end result is a big puzzle. Nobody knows what he is doing. The director, the hero, the villain and the audiences are in a state of confusion as to what is happening on the screen. It is not known, why the hero and heroine are running and why the villains are chasing and it is absurd how the entire police administration has kept mum when the daughter of a minister is kidnapped. Moreover, a police inspector executes the kidnap drama.

REMARKS:
When someone plans to produce a film, especially when he is related to the film industry, he should have an idea about the basic ingredients for a movie like story, screenplay, efficient director and good artistes. But for the basic storyline, the film has nothing perfect. The narration is pathetic and the entire film is a complete mess. The heroine, though a debutant, has tried to imitate the Bollywood top heroines like Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone. She has failed to perform and does not have the physique to attract the young audiences. With no commercial values, the film has failed to appease the mass audiences and the young audiences.
