Films
with
stories
coming
from
the
inner
thoughts
of
writers
always
have
a
value
and
would
have
a
better
impact
on
the
audiences.
After
a
long
time,
a
Telugu
film
has
touched
the
hearts
of
audiences.
It
has
no
mass
elements,
no
great
sets,
no
item
numbers
and
no
glamour
quotients,
but
it
has
a
gripping
story
with
lots
of
emotions
and
family
backdrop.
At
the
same
time,
the
film
has
a
love
story
in
the
backdrop.
Shreya
(Swati)
lives
with
her
mother
(Delhi
Rajeswari)
and
is
working
with
a
chartered
accountant.
Shreya"s
mother
wants
to
see
her
as
a
Chartered
Accountant,
but
Shreya
has
a
passion
for
singing.
In
order
to
earn
pocket
money,
she
looks
for
a
part-time
job
to
sing
songs
and
she
gets
an
opportunity
to
sing
in
a
restaurant.
Though
Shreya
has
not
learnt
music,
she
has
a
sweet
voice
and
so
gets
compliments
from
the
customers.
Srinivas
(Kamal
Kamaraju),
an
NRI
from
London,
visits
India
for
his
company"s
work
and
used
to
visit
the
restaurant
and
stay
till
Shreya
sings
the
song.
He
never
applauded
her
song
however
and
this
often
irked
Shreya.
Once,
a
music
pundit
Rao
(Vikram
Gokhale)
visits
the
restaurant
at
the
behest
of
his
friend
Sastry
(Tanikella
Bharani)
to
bag
a
contract
from
an
event
manager
for
his
music
programme.
He
happens
to
listen
to
Shreya
and
chides
her
for
singing
with
mistakes.
Shreya
becomes
dumbstruck.
Later,
Shreya
meets
Srinu
and
questions
him
why
he
did
not
respond
to
her
song.
He
simply
replies
that
he
visits
the
hotel
only
to
listen
to
her
sweet
'voice".
This
depresses
her
further
Shreya
as
he
mentions
her
song
as
mere
voice.
Later
Shreya
learns
that
Srinu
has
a
degree
in
music.
Srinu
advises
Shreya
to
learn
music
especially
from
Rao
himself
in
order
to
fulfil
her
dreamof
giving
an
audition
to
AR
Rahman.
So
Shreya
goes
to
Rao"s
house
as
a
servant.
She
impresses
Rao
with
her
politeness
and
commitment
to
music
and
makes
him
teach
her.
Rao
is
suffering
from
throat
cancer.
After
a
few
days,
Shreya
comes
to
know
that
Rao
is
her
father
and
that
her
mother
(Shreya"s
mother)
had
deserted
him
as
she
hated
music.
Srinu
tells
Shreya
that
her
mother
loved
her
and
even
forsaked
her
relation
with
her
husband
to
keep
shreya
away
from
penury.
Shreya
realises
that
both
her
parents
are
correct
in
their
aspects.
To
save
her
father,
she
participates
in
a
competition,
'Voice
of
AP" despite
having
got
a
chance
to
give
an
audition
to
Rahman.
There
Shreya
sings
in
praise
of
her
parents
and
as
expected,
Shreya"s
parents
unite
at
the
programme,
but
the
first
prize
goes
to
another
person
on
the
grounds
that
Shreya
tried
to
impress
the
audiences
with
her
emotional
appeal.
However,
the
programme
turns
a
blessing
in
disguise
as
Rahman
who
had
happened
to
watch
the
programme
over
TV
calls
up
another
music
director
Koti,
who
attended
the
programme
as
judge,
declaring
that
he
wants
to
give
Shreya
a
chance
in
his
next
film
to
sing.
The
film
ends
on
a
happy
note
with
Srinu
proposing
to
Shreya.
PLUS:
The
entire
film
revolves
around
heroine
Swati.
Though
Kamal
Kamaraju
is
the
hero,
he
has
very
less
role
to
play.
His
character
helps
to
bring
out
the
emotions
in
the
heroine
and
by
giving
timely
advices
to
her.
Swati
has
shown
a
matured
performance
all
through
the
film.
Her
chivalry
on
the
one
side
and
her
excellent
performance
on
the
other
has
done
wonders
on
the
screen.
In
fact,
all
the
characters
in
the
film
have
different
emotions
and
the
director
has
maintained
the
sentiment
thread
excellently.
Though
the
film
has
no
mass
elements,
the
narration
is
very
impressive.
The
combination
of
the
heroine"s
commitment
to
learn
music,
the
situation
that
separates
the
heroine"s
parents,
the
love
thread,
the
mindset
of
the
typical
Andhra
girls,
the
innocence
of
the
youth
have
been
presented
perfectly
on
the
screen.
The
director
needs
to
be
complimented
for
bringing
out
such
a
neat
film.
Music
by
Rajendra
Kesani
is
melodious
and
Vanamali
has
penned
the
songs
with
out
and
out
literary
values.
The
situational
songs
are
very
impressive.
Tanikella
Bharani
and
Sudeepa
who
have
limited
roles
on
the
screen
too
have
given
their
best.
MINUS:
Though
the
film
has
many
plus
points,
the
director
has
failed
to
effectively
present
the
love
between
the
hero
and
heroine.
Likewise,
the
climax
appears
to
have
wrapped
up
fast
and
beyond
the
expectations
of
the
audiences.
The
basic
point
of
heroine
participating
in
the
competition
to
earn
money
for
her
father"s
surgery
has
been
ignored.
Pragati,
who
has
played
the
hero"s
father,
was
sidelined
in
the
climax.
Camera
work
is
okay
in
parts.
Production
values
of
Mohan
Media
Creations
are
average.
REMARKS:
Those
who
want
action
scenes,
mass
masala
songs
and
item
numbers
may
not
enjoy
this
movie.
However,
any
class
of
audiences
would
enjoy
the
film
undoubtedly.
But
for
the
absence
of
mass
elements,
the
film
has
been
presented
very
neatly
on
the
screen.
It
is
a
must
watch
film
for
anyone
as
it
has
all
the
ingredients
for
all
age
groups
or
all
classes
of
audiences.
Especially,
those
who
love
classical
or
slow
music,
the
film
is
a
feast
for
their
ears
and
eyes.
