Filmmaking
was
once
a
passion
and
there
are
great
producers
like
Dr
D
Ramanaidu,
who
made
it
to
the
Guinness
Book
of
Records.
But
these
days,
people
are
earning
money
by
going
abroad
and
are
investing
in
filmmaking,
besides
trying
to
pump
in
their
black
money.
So,
that
passion
turned
out
to
be
a
fashion.
The
so
called
NRI
boys
and
girls,
who
wished
to
turn
heroes
and
heroines,
have
started
investing
more
money
from
their
pockets.
These
kind
of
people
are
not
only
wasting
the
money
but
also
the
valuable
time
of
the
audiences.
Story
:
Chakri
(Akshay)
is
a
college
topper
and
he
had
three
friends
and
one
among
them
is
a
girl
called
Manisha
(Tashu
Kaushik).
Manisha
loves
Chakri,
but
Chakri
says
he
has
no
such
feelings
on
her
and
she
is
just
a
friend.
His
friends
Ranjeet,
Manoj
and
Manisha
got
a
job
in
a
call
centre
immediately
after
their
graduation,
Chakri
doesn"t
want
to
look
for
short-time
gains
but
aims
at
a
long-time
gain.
His
father
(Chandramohan),
who
was
a
chartered
accountant,
also
encourages
him
to
do
civil.
For
Chakri,
love
is
something
that
has
to
flash
and
the
girl
should
strike
like
a
thunderbolt.
Even
as
Chakri
is
preparing
for
civil
exam,
he
comes
across
Rithika
(Ritika
Sood),
who
is
an
NRI.
He
loses
his
heart
at
first
sight
and
falls
in
love
with
her
madly.
Learning
that
Manisha
and
Rithika
are
friends,
Chakri
asks
Manisha
to
help
him
in
his
love.
Though,
Manisha
loves
him
very
much,
she
agrees
to
help
Chakri
and
helps
him
to
get
closer
to
Rithika.
Both
Chakri
and
Rithika
start
moving
closer
to
each
other.
Once,
some
miscreant
tries
to
tease
Manisha
with
morphed
photos
and
Chakri
helps
her
by
teaching
a
lesson
to
that
miscreant.
Likewise,
when
an
MLA"s
son
tries
to
blackmail
one
of
his
friends
Ranjit,
Chakri
traces
his
number
and
threatens
him
with
dire
consequences
and
save
Ranjit
from
the
blackmailing.
Learning
that
Chakri
has
only
an
infatuation
towards
her,
Rithika
makes
it
very
clear
to
him.
As
Chakri
neglects
his
studies
and
getting
attracted
towards
a
girl
by
falling
in
love,
his
father
gets
a
stroke.
In
order
to
save
his
father
and
prove
that
he
would
be
an
achiever,
Chakri
gives
away
his
cell
and
agrees
to
stay
away
from
his
friends,
love
and
everything.
Three
years
elapse,
and
the
friends
don"t
know
where
Chakri
was.
What
happens
in
this
time
gap
should
be
on-screen.
PERFORMANCE:
Akshay
has
failed
to
perform
all
the
aspects.
Neither,
he
is
good
at
dances,
nor
in
action
scenes,
leave
alone
body
language
and
histrionics.
His
dialogue
modulation
is
mediocre
and
has
no
idea
as
to
how
to
act
in
a
film.
Ritika
Sood
is
seducing.
However,
she
has
a
good
sexual
appeal
but
not
suitable
for
a
heroine"s
role.
Tashu
Kaushik
is
the
only
person,
who
has
all
the
sexy
oomph
and
excellent
physique.
At
the
same
time,
she
has
good
acting
capability
and
given
good
performance.
Brahmanandam
in
the
role
of
Bhikshapati,
owner
of
a
call
centre,
is
okay
but
the
director
has
failed
to
make
use
of
him.
MS
Narayana,
Kallu
Chidambaram,
Chandrmohan,
Purnima
and
others
have
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
TECHNICAL:
As
far
as
the
technical
team
is
concerned,
camerawork
by
Murali
is
just
okay
but
not
that
great
to
talk
about.
Music
by
Sandeep
is
also
average.
None
of
the
songs
are
foot-tapping
and
the
background
score
is
also
just
okay.
The
story
penned
by
the
director
Prasad
Rayala
is
really
impressive,
but
he
has
miserably
failed
in
its
narration.
The
hero
is
a
college
topper
and
he
got
distracted
by
love.
When
the
director
tries
to
say
that
the
hero
has
a
wish
to
become
an
IAS/IPS
officer,
the
hero
doesn"t
appear
in
that
mindset
at
any
frame.
It
is
not
known
why
the
director
chose
the
title
of
the
film
as
a
Graduate,
as
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
subject
at
all.
REMARKS:
Better
avoid
watching
such
movies
by
wasting
money
and
time.
It
has
nothing
to
offer
to
the
society,
though
the
director
and
producer
compliment
themselves
that
they
made
a
film
that
had
a
good
message.
