Abhiram
@
Abhi
(Vinay),
son
of
an
industrialist
(Naresh),
falls
in
love
at
first
sight
with
Nandini
(Meera
Chopra).
Abhi's
mother
Uma
(Jayadudha)
takes
him
to
Bharati's
(Sita)
house.
In
fact,
it
is
Uma,
who
helps
Bharati
in
getting
married
to
Col
Choudary
(Suman)
as
they
both
fall
in
love.
Incidentally,
Nandini
is
Bharati's
(Sita)
daughter.
However,
to
Abhi's
surprise,
he
comes
to
know
that
he
has
come
there
for
Nandini's
marriage.
Abhi
proposes
to
Nandini
but
the
latter
takes
it
casually
in
the
initial
stage.
Later,
she
too
loses
her
heart
to
Abhi.
The
latter
then
comes
to
know
from
Choudary
that
Nandini
is
getting
married
to
a
person,
who
saved
his
life
in
a
battle
when
he
was
in
Army.
Despite
that
Abhi
decides
to
take
her
away,
but
drops
the
idea
after
Uma
tells
him
that
'Love
is
sweet
and
sacrificing
is
divine'
and
tells
him
that
Choudary
and
Bharati
have
high
regards
on
Uma
and
she
doesn't
want
to
spoil
their
family
prestige.
These
words
make
him
to
sacrifice
his
love.
Abhi
changes
his
attitude
and
pretends
that
he
is
suspecting
the
fidelity
and
character
of
Nandini,
who
misunderstands
him
and
develops
hatred.
In
that
process,
she
marries
the
one,
whom
his
father
brought
as
an
alliance.
Abhi
remains
alone,
with
his
heart
full
of
Nandin's
memories.
PLUS: Though a novice to the Telugu screen, Vinay is not new to camera. So, he has given an excellent performance. He makes pranks to keep every one happy. Vinay's body language is good. Meera Chopra has filled the glamour slot well and also got a fair chance to perform in the film. She showed good emotions and her expressions in sentiment scenes are okay. Both the lead artists showed good ease in dances and Meera Chopra looks quite romantic in songs. Another highlight of the film is the screenplay of MS Raju. In fact, it is his strength. Being a remake, MS Raju's work has become a little easy in directing a film as he could do it scene by scene by noticing the original. Paruchuri Brothers did a good job in scripting dialogues as well. Especially, the dialogues of the hero and his conversation with a rabbit called Devadas.
MINUS: Though the film is good in narration and has some novelty with lots of twists, the film may not go well with Telugu audience as they never like a tragedy climax. But for a scene before climax, the role of Ajay is not properly established. Though all the songs are good to listen, their picturisation is not very impressive but for a handful of songs. Cinematographer Sekhar V Joseph's camera work is just okay.
REMARKS: All the artists including Suman, Jayasudha and Sita have done complete justice to their respective roles. Especially, Suman has done a very good job as a retired military officer. Jayasudha, who is famous for natural performance, has lived in the character. Almost all the films brought under MS Raju's Sumanth Art Productions banner turned hits because of MS Raju himself provides screenplay. This experience had helped him a lot in bringing out a film with perfection. The Telugu audience generally doesn't like a tragic end to a film. Let us wait and watch how far, MS Raju could break this barrier.
