Tanish,
who
entered
film
industry
as
a
child
artist,
has
no
big
hits
to
his
credit,
except
first
two
movies
Nachavule
and
Raid.
In
a
bid
to
change
his
image,
he
has
signed
mass
movie
Kodipunju.
Let
us
see
what
he
has
offered
for
the
audience.
Read
on
for
Kodipunju
review.
Story:
Abhimanyu
aka
Abhi
(Tanish)
is
the
son
of
Sitaratnam
(Roja).
Sitaratnam"s
husband
commits
suicide
after
he
suffers
a
huge
loss
in
agriculture.
She
lives
in
Anjaneyapuram.
Ramaraju
Lanka
is
their
neighbouring
village
and
its
head
is
Ramachandra
Rao
(Sivakrishna).
He
is
a
nice
man
and
liberally
donates
his
land
whenever
it
is
needed
for
someone.
Nandini
(Sobhana)
is
his
second
daughter.
Abhi
falls
in
love
at
first
sight
with
Nandini.
When
a
baddie
Nagineedu
tried
to
tease
Nandini,
Abhi
bashes
him.
In
fact,
Nagineedu
is
the
brother
of
Bapineedu
(Satyaprakash),
an
arch-rival
of
Ramachandra
Rao.
Noticing
his
macho
figure,
Nandini
too
falls
in
love
with
Abhi.
However,
Ramachandra
Rao
thinks
that
he
is
playing
mischief
with
Nandini
and
warns
him.
Noticing
the
warning,
Bapineedu
tries
to
make
use
of
it
for
his
favour
but
Abhi
tells
it
on
his
face
that
he
had
no
such
intentions
to
challenge
with
the
village
head.
In
order
to
grab
the
chair
at
any
cost,
Bapineedu
broaches
marriage
alliance
between
Nandini
and
Nagineedu
and
Ramachandra
Rao
too
agrees
to
it.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance:
Tanish
has
tried
to
improvise
his
expressions
and
has
worked
on
it.
He
has
shown
his
prowess
in
dances
and
action
scenes.
But
all
the
action
scenes
were
very
cinematic,
as
he
thrashed
goons
with
single
punches.
Sobhana
aka
Anchal
made
her
debut
as
heroine
through
this
film.
Anchal
has
the
similarities
of
yesteryear
actress
Sobhana.
Hence,
her
name
was
rechristened
as
Sobhana.
She
is
good
at
looks
but
has
no
scope
to
perform
in
Kodipunju.
HOwever,
she
needs
to
put
up
a
little
more
weight
to
expose
her
glamour.
Roja
is
louder
in
this
film.
She
yelled
in
most
of
the
scenes
and
reminds
us
of
using
Rayalaseema
filmy
style.
Other
artistes
including
Sivakrishna,
Satyaprakash
and
Rajyalakshmi
did
justice
to
their
roles.
Comedy
by
MS
Narayana
is
just
okay.
Technical:
As
far
as
the
story
is
concerned,
there
is
nothing
new
to
offer.
The
dialogues
lacked
the
necessary
punch.
All
the
songs
are
just
like
passing
clouds
and
not
worth
listening.
Neither
they
are
melodious
nor
they
were
shot
well.
Cinematography
is
good
in
the
film
as
the
the
director
of
photography
has
tried
his
best
to
showcase
the
village
atmosphere
on
the
screeen.
Editing
by
Nagireddy
is
not
so
sharp
and
he
is
helpless
as
he
could
not
cut
the
scenes
because
of
the
improper
screenplay.
Director
Choudary
has
shown
his
amateurish
nature
in
directing
the
film.
The
screenplay
is
not
so
gripping
and
many
scenes
are
just
like
jumping
one
after
the
other.
The
film
doesn"t
give
the
audiences
a
feel
of
watching
a
film
but
joining
certain
scenes
to
make
a
film.
Remarks:
It
is
just
a
time
pass
film
and
if
you
have
no
work
to
pass
the
time,
you
can
go
and
watch
it.
Or
else,
conveniently
ignore
the
movie.
