Praveen
Sattaru
has
made
a
different
attempt
by
keeping
six
characters
in
two
love
stories
in
the
film
LBW
(Life
Before
Wedding).
He
has
tried
to
narrate
how
delicate
emotions
would
come
out
of
individuals
in
no
time
soon
after
they
got
a
no
from
their
loved
ones
or
while
saying
no
to
the
loved
ones.
Basically,
the
film
is
a
fusion
of
two
parallel
stories,
which
chronicle
the
lives
of
six
characters
and
how
their
relationships
change
over
a
period
of
time.
The
director
has
justified
the
title
LBW.
Read
on
for
the
review.
Story:
Rishi
(Siddhu)
and
Jai
(Abhijeet)
are
good
friends.
While
Rishi
is
a
little
temperamental
and
hyperactive,
Jai
is
quite
cool
and
like
the
saying
opposite
poles
attract,
they
become
good
friends.
They
come
across
Anu
(Nishanti
Evani).
Anu
is
a
systematic,
principled
girl
and
is
quite
reserved
girl.
She
does
not
entertain
Rishi,
who
attempts
to
flirt
her.
This
helps
Jai
to
get
close
to
Anu
and
develop
friendship,
which
turns
into
love
finally.
While
this
triangular
love
story
runs
in
Indian
backdrop,
another
love
story
runs
parallel
in
Dallas.
Rajesh
(Rohan)
and
Radhika
(Chinmayi)
are
also
good
friends.
Once
Radhika
feels
like
she
was
in
love
with
Rajesh
and
proposes
him.
However,
Rajeshis
under
the
impression
that
theirs
is
a
deep
friendship.
Now,
Varun
(Asif
Tej),
an
Indian-born
American
enters
their
lives.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
The
film
is
all
about
the
ever-changing
relationships
that
influence
the
lives
of
different
people.
Performance:
Almost
all
the
actors
of
the
movie
are
novices.
The
director
has
taken
the
right
decision,
as
he
had
to
elevate
the
character
and
any
artiste
who
is
familiar
to
the
audiences
could
not
connect
to
the
subject
properly.
Among
all,
Siddhu
has
given
a
brilliant
performance
and
wins
the
hearts
of
the
audience.
He
has
the
talent
to
suit
the
Telugu
cinema
industry
with
a
flexible
body
language
and
fantastic
dialogue
modulation.
Abhijeet
also
has
given
an
impressive
performance.
Asif
Tej"s
excellent
accent
and
coolness
brings
the
sense
of
believability.
Rohan's
talent
too
comes
to
light
just
before
the
climax.
Nishanti
and
Chinmayi
are
okay.
Technical:
Camera
work
in
the
film
is
extraordinary.
The
cinematographer
has
made
use
of
Red
One
camera
and
within
limited
resources.
However,
he
has
excelled
in
capturing
the
emotions
of
the
artistes
perfectly.
Editing
by
Dharmendra
is
adequate
and
minor
lapses
in
trimming
some
prolonged
scenes
could
be
justified.
Most
of
the
songs
in
the
film
are
either
montages
or
situational
songs.
Music
by
Anil
is
melodious.
Dialogues
are
okay
and
keeping
the
multiplex
audiences
in
mind,
the
dialogue
writer
has
penned
some
English
conversations.
The
production
values
are
adequate.
Director
Praveen
Sattaru
completely
had
no
practical
knowledge
in
film-making
and
came
to
India
to
direct
the
film.
This
had
indirectly
helped
him
to
establish
the
characters
in
a
novel
way.
The
story-telling
could
be
seen
on
the
screen
in
a
never
before
manner.
Of
course,
lack
of
experience
resulted
in
a
couple
of
stretched
scenes,
which
could
have
avoided
by
editing.
Remarks:
The
movie
does
not
have
regular
commercial
elements.The
entire
first
half
is
taken
for
the
establishment
of
characters
and
the
second
half
is
quite
entertaining.
As
a
whole,
the
film
could
be
enjoyed
by
the
present
day
youth.
