Boyapati
Sreenu
wins
over
sentiment
There
is
a
sentiment
in
the
Telugu
film
industry
that
all
the
second
films
of
the
debutant
directors
would
be
a
flop.
Most
of
the
films
that
came
up
in
Telugu
film
industry
proved
this
sentiment
as
true.
However,
Boyapati
Sreenu,
who
made
his
debut
in
Bhadra
with
Raviteja
as
hero
proved
a
hit
director
in
the
first
film.
Damocles'
sword
is
hanging
on
his
neck,
when
he
got
an
opportunity
to
direct
Venkatesh
for
Tulasi
as
it
was
his
second
film.
But
Boyapati
Sreenu
wins
over
the
sentiment,
with
the
support
by
music
director,
cinematographer,
action
choreographers,
and
the
technical
crew
as
a
whole.
Parvataneni
Tulasiram
in
Tulasi
(Venkatesh)
is
a
native
of
Palnadu
region.
As
his
region
is
well-known
for
factional
feuds,
his
father
Dasaratha
Ramayya
(Vijayakumar)
keeps
him
away
in
Hyderabad
and
get
him
educated
and
makes
him
an
architect.
Once
he
goes
to
an
abroad
trip,
where
he
comes
across
Vasundhara
(Nayanatara)
and
loses
his
heart.
He
marries
her
and
they
continue
to
lead
a
happy
life.
When
Vasu
turns
pregnant,
Tulasi
takes
her
to
their
native
place
to
share
the
happy
moments
with
the
entire
family.
He
turns
violent
when
a
rival
faction
pushes
his
father
and
teaches
all
of
them
a
big
lesson
with
a
lot
of
bloodshed.
Even
as
he
was
silent,
the
factional
feuds
continue
to
haunt
him
and
Vasu
couldn't
digest
the
violence
and
deserts
him
with
their
son
Harsha
(Atulith),
when
her
brother
(Sivaji)
dies
in
the
attack
by
factionists.
Later,
Tulasi
comes
to
know
that
Harsha
has
a
blood
clot
in
his
brain
and
it
may
cause
hemorrhage.
With
the
help
of
Dr
Surekha
(Ramyakrishna),
he
summons
specialists
from
abroad
to
get
him
operated.
When
everything
is
ready
for
the
surgery,
a
gangster
(Asish
Vidyarthi)
takes
away
the
boy,
as
both
of
his
sons
got
killed
by
Tulasi.
In
the
climax,
again
Tulasi
turns
violent
and
kills
everyone
to
save
his
son's
life.
Learning
that
violence
would
not
only
take
the
lives
but
also
saves
lives,
Vasu
reunites
with
Tulasi
and
the
film
ends
on
a
happy
note.
Plus:
It
is
Venkatesh
all
the
way
and
he
completely
held
the
responsibility
of
making
the
film
a
big
hit.
He
changed
his
body
language
a
lot
in
this
film.
His
character
was
moulded
in
two
different
shades,
silent
and
violent.
His
performance
in
sentiment
scenes
was
excellent
and
his
action
in
emotional
scenes
too
was
portrayed
excellently
on
the
screen.
Next
comes
the
music.
Devisri
Prasad,
who
worked
for
the
first
time
for
Venkatesh's
film
gave
his
best.
Though
some
of
the
tunes
appeared
old,
they
were
quite
catchy
and
the
choreography
of
songs
was
attractive.
After
that
comes
the
action
choreography
by
Ram-Lakshman
and
Kanal
Kannan.
The
fights
were
stylish
and
very
touching
to
suit
the
taste
of
mass
audiences.
The
director's
ability
in
sentiment
scenes
is
noteworthy
and
the
screenplay
made
the
audiences
sit
tight
in
the
seat.
Whenever
the
audiences
get
the
feel
of
boredom,
he
covered
the
situation
with
a
fight
or
a
song.
Child
sentiment
was
aptly
utilised
for
the
climax.
Minus:
Though
the
film
was
brought
out
in
a
different
passion,
the
excessive
dose
of
violence
might
keep
the
family
audiences
away
from
the
theatre.
Despite
good
family
and
child
sentiment,
love
episodes,
the
overdose
of
violence
may
turn
a
draw
back.
The
director
failed
to
establish
the
character
of
Asish
Vidyarthi
properly
and
the
role
of
Jayaprakash
Reddy
was
also
underplayed.
The
thread
of
love
and
the
separation
of
the
hero
and
heroine
were
also
not
properly
explained
by
the
director.
It
is
not
fair
that
the
heroine
deserting
the
hero
for
resorting
to
violence,
when
both
of
them
had
a
bond
of
love.
Remarks:
Dialogues
by
Paruchuri
brothers
are
partly
good
and
the
director
tried
to
use
emotion
as
the
main
thread
to
run
the
story
and
gave
less
importance
to
dialogues.
However,
the
explanation
of
the
meaning
of
marriage
in
the
first
half,
and
the
flashback
episode
narrated
by
Ramyakrishna
were
good
to
watch.
As
a
whole,
the
film
would
be
a
hit
for
masses,
while
it
is
above
average
for
family
audiences.
But
certainly,
it
is
a
hattrick
for
Venkatesh
after
two
successive
hits
like
Lakshmi
and
Aadavari
Maatalaku
Ardhale
Verule.
