After
the
success
of
Arundhati,
which
was
proved
a
blockbuster,
Anushka
was
flooded
with
offers
to
same
kind
of
roles.
However,
she
remained
choosy.
Her
personal
make-up
man
Chandru
proposed
to
turn
a
producer
and
she
promoted
him
and
used
her
good
offices
and
recommended
him
to
Nagarjuna,
who
stood
behind
him
as
presenter
of
the
film
and
Panchakshari
was
made
under
the
direction
of
Samudra.
Story:
Venkata
Narayana"s
(Chandramohan)
wife
(Rajita)
gives
birth
to
a
baby
girl
on
the
premises
of
a
temple
in
Janagaon.
The
temple
priest
(Subbaraya
Sarma)
tells
them
that
she
has
divine
blessings
and
they
named
her
as
Panchakshari
(Anushka).
She
grows
up
and
on
every
Ashada
Purnima,
the
Goddess
joins
her
and
Panchakshari
resorts
to
sooth-saying
on
that
day,
during
Bonalu.
Only
on
that
day,
she
behaves
differently
but
for
all
the
other
days
she
is
a
normal
girl.
A
youth
Sriram
(Samrat)
falls
in
love
with
her
and
seeks
the
help
of
the
priest
to
get
her
married.
The
villagers
perform
her
marriage.
There
is
a
cruel
villain
(Pradeep
Rawat)
in
the
village,
who
comes
to
know
that
there
is
a
treasure
under
the
temple
and
wanted
to
grab
it.
In
order
to
grab
the
treasure,
the
temple
had
to
be
closed.
So,
he
mixes
sulphur
in
turmeric
power
and
set
afire
Panchakshari
at
the
temple
during
Bonalu.
He
also
kills
some
devotees
who
visit
the
temple
and
campaigns
that
the
death
of
Panchakshari
is
a
bad
omen
and
the
temple
had
to
be
closed
and
get
it
closed
permanently.
Watching
Panchakshari,
her
daughter
falls
sick
and
Sriram
takes
her
to
city
for
treatment.
In
the
city
Sriram
accidentally
meets
Honey
(Anushka).
He
videographs
her
routine
befriends
with
her.
Honey
is
a
fashion
designer
and
has
big
dreams
to
hold
a
fashion
show
in
Paris.
As
her
father
(Nazar)
and
aunt
(Telangana
Sakuntala)
brings
pressure
on
her
to
marry,
she
shows
one
photograph
and
lies
that
he
(Raviprakash)
is
staying
in
the
US
for
higher
studies
and
it
will
take
two
years
to
return
to
India.
What
happens
next
is
a
intresting
part
of
the
story.
PERFORMANCE:
Anushka
has
given
an
impressive
performance
in
both
the
roles,
as
a
girl
from
urban
backdrop
and
a
traditional
village
girl.
Especially,
her
big
eyes
had
become
an
asset
for
her
and
she
was
very
impressive
in
the
Goddess"
attire.
She
showed
good
ease
in
both
the
roles.
Samrat
is
okay,
though
made
a
debut
appearance.
Pradeep
Rawat
is
at
his
usual
self
and
did
justice
to
his
role.
Subbaraya
Sarma
has
got
a
meaty
character
and
played
a
full-length
role
in
this
film.
Chandramohan,
Nazar,
Raviprakash
and
others
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Telangana
Sakutala
is
okay
in
the
role
of
an
Anushka's
aunt.
The
one
who
played
the
role
of
Aghora
failed
to
impress
either
with
his
dialogue
modulation
or
his
performance.
TECHNICAL:
Cinematography
by
Vasu
is
good
and
the
mix
of
graphics
is
perfect.
However,
timing
of
some
of
the
graphics
were
unnecessarily
stretched
beyond
limits,
causing
impatience
among
the
audiences.
Editing
should
have
been
a
little
crisper
especially
regarding
the
placing
of
graphics.
Music
by
Chinna
is
okay,
while
dialogues
by
Thota
Prasad
are
good
in
parts.
When
it
comes
to
screenplay
and
direction,
Samudra,
though
had
a
good
experience
in
his
department,
appears
to
have
trebled
unnecessarily.
The
screenplay
was
quite
loose
and
is
full
of
jerks.
The
jumping
of
scenes
caused
irritation
at
times
and
it
is
not
known
how
the
director
and
the
editor
allowed
them.
Samudra
had
lost
grip
on
the
story
at
frequent
intervals
and
the
Butterfinger
direction
was
a
little
embarrassing
for
the
elite
audiences.
Moreover,
he
made
a
vain
attempt
to
link
relationship
between
Panchakshari
and
Honey,
as
it
failed
to
gel
well.
Had
he
shown
the
meeting
of
Nazar
and
Chandramohan
at
least
in
a
couple
of
scenes,
it
could
have
established
strongly.
But
for
the
slight
jerks
in
the
movement
of
the
story,
the
film
would
be
liked
by
the
audiences
in
B
and
C
centres,
though
the
city
audiences
may
not
like
it
that
much.
REMARKS:
The
film
had
the
similarities
of
Ammoru
and
Arundhati
but
nowhere
near
comparison.
Samudra
has
worked
hard
and
tried
to
impress
the
audiences
with
his
limited
knowledge
and
the
film
is
some
how
appears
to
be
okay.
The
introductory
song
of
Anushka
in
an
exposing
way
and
an
urban
girl
singing
a
mass
song
was
of
bad
taste
and
especially
such
a
dance
in
front
of
a
temple
during
jatara
is
also
little
embarrassing.
However,
the
film
would
definitely
bring
smiles
on
the
face
of
the
producer
as
the
audiences
in
B
and
C
centres
would
make
it
a
hit.
