Popular
ad
filmmaker
Jayendra
is
making
his
debut
with
180.
It
is
a
bilingual
film,
which
is
simultaneously
made
in
Tamil
and
Telugu.
Siddharth,
who
worked
with
Jayendra
in
the
early
days
of
his
career,
has
done
the
film
as
a
goodwill
gesture.
Nithya
Menon
and
Priya
Anand
have
played
the
female
leads.
It
is
a
love
story
with
a
tragic
backdrop.
Story:
Ajay
(Siddharth)
is
a
doctor
by
profession.
He
is
working
in
San
Francisco.
Once
a
girl
from
India
named
Renuka
(Priya
Anand)
is
admitted
to
his
hospital
and
both
of
them
fall
in
love
with
each
other.
Their
love
gets
green
signal
from
both
the
families
and
they
marry
soon.
While
they
are
leading
a
happy
life,
Ajay
goes
for
a
medical
checkup
for
some
insurance
purpose
and
learns
that
he
is
suffering
from
cancer,
which
is
in
advanced
stage.
Neither
it
can
be
cured
with
chemotherapy
nor
there
are
chances
of
survival.
Even
if
he
gets
operated,
he
could
only
leave
for
180
days
at
max.
So
Ajay
goes
into
deep
depression.
Renuka
could
not
digest
the
fact
and
struggles
a
lot
to
console
Ajay.
To
give
her
relief
from
the
mental
struggle,
Ajay
writes
all
his
property
in
a
will
to
Renuka,
leaves
the
house,
and
reaches
India.
He
learns
from
a
small
boy
that
when
you
are
aware
that
death
is
inevitable,
live
the
life
and
enjoy
the
moment.
He
moves
freely
with
all
the
street
kids
by
helping
them.
His
attitude
to
help
the
kids
attracts
Vidya
(Nithya
Menon),
who
is
a
journalist.
She
admires
him
and
tries
to
find
out
who
was
he
but
she
could
not.
Soon,
she
falls
in
love.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance: Siddharth
has
done
a
perfect
job
in
this
film.
He
has
maintained
good
comedy
timing
and
in
sorrowful
scenes
too
he
showed
good
body
language
and
histrionics.
He
maintained
the
same
ease
in
love
scenes
and
in
pathos.
Priya
Anand
should
be
commended
for
giving
a
good
performance.
She
has
almost
equaled
Siddharth
in
acting.
She
is
also
good
in
romantic
and
love
scenes.
Nitya
Menon
is
okay
but
she
has
a
little
scope
to
perform.
Other
artistes
including
Mouli,
Tanikella
Bharani
and
Sri
Charan
have
given
their
best
in
their
respective
roles.
Others
are
satisfactory.
Technical:
The
story
and
screenplay
by
Subha
and
Jayendra
reminds
the
audiences
of
Gitanjali
of
Nagarjuna.
It
appears
that
the
story
is
a
rehashed
version
of
the
classic
film.
In
that
film
there
is
only
one
heroine
who
was
also
on
the
deathbed
but
in
this
film,
it
is
only
the
hero
who
awaits
death.
The
dialogues
in
the
film
are
good
in
parts
and
Umarji
Anuradha
needs
to
be
complimented
for
elevating
some
scenes
with
the
dialogues.
Cinematographer
Balasubramaniem
has
made
use
of
the
camera
to
capture
the
beautiful
locales
in
San
Francisco.
Especially
the
picturisation
of
the
first
song
in
a
very
slow
motion
was
a
good
experiment.
Editing
by
Kishore
should
have
been
a
little
better
by
scissoring
some
lengthy
scenes,
especially,
the
pathos
scenes
involving
Siddharth.
The
narration
of
the
film
is
very
slow.
Being
an
ad
filmmaker
he
has
concentrated
more
on
visuals
and
ignored
the
script.
The
narration
of
the
subject
is
very
slow
and
tests
the
patience
of
young
and
mass
audiences.
The
film
would
run
better
in
A
class
centres.
Remarks:
One
should
have
lots
of
patience
to
watch
the
movie.
