MS
Raju
well
known
as
Sankranti
Raju
has
come
back
with
a
mass
commercial
entertainer
Maska
by
teaming
with
senior
director
B
Gopal,
young
and
energetic
hero
Ram
and
glamorous
heroines
Hansika
and
Sheela.
As
expected,
the
film
has
turned
out
to
be
a
mass
entertainer.
Krish
(Ram)
has
not
completed
his
degree,
but
wants
to
become
a
millionaire
overnight.
Following
his
friend's
(Sunil)
suggestion,
Ram
decides
to
marry
a
girl
who
would
settle
in
the
US
with
a
big
job.
Krish
tries
to
trap
Manju
(Sheela)
the
daughter
of
an
MP,
Jagannatham
(Mukhesh
Rushi).
Learning
that
Manju
wishes
to
love
a
boy
who
has
been
in
love
earlier,
Krish
narrates
a
fabricated
love
story
to
her.
When
Manju
is
about
to
propose
to
Krish,
the
fictitious
character
created
by
Krish
comes
alive
as
Meenu
(Hansika).
Then
the
triangular
love
game
begins.
Though
Krish
wants
to
trap
Manju,
he
falls
for
Meenu's
innocence.
Once,
Krish
saves
Meenu
from
a
gang
of
kidnappers
and
they
become
friends.
When
Meenu
decides
to
propose
to
him,
she
comes
to
know
that
Krish
is
a
fraud.
She
hates
him
and
reveals
the
truth
to
Manju.
However
Manju
loves
him
and
asks
him
to
save
her
from
an
unwanted
marriage
alliance.
A
few
turn
of
events
reveals
that
Meenu
and
Manju
are
step
sisters.
Jagannatham
and
another
MP
Shinde
(Pradeep
Rawat)
contest
for
a
ministerial
berth.
Shinde
tries
to
disqualify
Jagannatham
on
charges
of
bigamy
for
having
married
twice.
In
this
backdrop,
both
Jagannatham
and
Shinde
try
to
catch
Meenu
and
her
mother
(Sita).
In
the
climax,
Krish
confesses
his
true
love
for
Meenu.
The
movie
ends
on
a
happy
note
with
Jagannatham
agreeing
to
relinquish
the
ministerial
birth
and
Krish
marrying
Meenu.
PLUS:
The
film
has
been
planned
to
be
an
out
and
out
commercial
entertainer.
The
first
half
is
entirely
devoted
to
attract
the
youth.
The
mind
game
coupled
with
comedy
entertains
the
audiences
well.
Ram
has
got
a
complete
chance
to
prove
his
acting
capabilities
with
perfect
comedy
timing.
Coming
to
the
second
half,
director
B
Gopal
has
not
been
able
to
resist
his
regular
tempo
and
instinct
for
making
a
faction-oriented
subject.
The
entire
second
half
is
full
of
action
and
bloodshed.
As
a
whole
the
film
has
all
the
elements
that
can
attract
the
B
and
C
centres'
audiences.
The
music
director
has
given
tunes
to
the
songs
with
a
view
on
choreography.
Hansika
and
Sheela
have
equally
shared
their
roles
in
the
film
filled
the
glamour
slots.
Mukhesh
Rushi
and
Pradeep
Rawat
are
okay
in
villain
roles.
Comedy
by
Sunil
is
okay.
After
a
long
time
Sunil
has
got
an
opportunity
to
play
a
full-length
comedy
role
equal
to
the
hero.
MINUS:
Like
many
of
the
Telugu
films,
this
movie
too
has
no
logic.
However,
the
director
needs
to
be
commended
for
making
the
audiences
believe
many
illogical
scenes.
Comedy
by
Brahmanandam
has
failed
to
evoke
laughter.
But
for
the
logical
part,
the
film
is
okay
for
a
normal
view.
The
audiences
who
spend
their
valuable
time
and
money
need
not
feel
that
their
money
has
gone
waste.
But
there
are
certain
scenes
where
the
audiences
feel
why
and
how
the
director
could
do
that
when
it
is
almost
impossible
in
real
life.
For
example,
the
hero
jumps
from
a
500
ft
tall
building,
but
goes
unscathed.
Such
scenes
evoke
laughter
from
the
audiences.
REMARKS:
In
one
way,
producer
MS
Raju
has
regained
his
past
glory
and
has
got
back
his
earlier
image
of
Sankranti
Raju
with
the
movie.
Especially,
Maska
has
brought
back
the
smile
on
the
face
of
'Honey'.
The
novel
combination
of
director,
producer,
music
director,
hero
and
heroine
has
worked
out
well.
The
directorial
capabilities
of
B
Gopal
and
the
energetic
performance
by
the
hero
Ram,
the
sizzling
beauties
Hansika
and
Sheela
together
are
a
feast
for
the
audiences.
