Welcome
Obama
Story
Lucy
is
an
American
mother,
who
wants
a
perfect
boy.
She
seeks
help
from
Indian
mother
Yashoda
(Urmila),
but
a
situation
leads
her
to
discard
her
son
even
before
his
birth.
Yashoda
delivers
a
healthy
boy
named
Krishna,
who
is
fondly
called
Obama.
After
knowing
about
the
boy,
Lucy
comes
to
India
to
take
him.
However,
Yashoda,
who
has
developed
a
strong
bonding
with
him,
declines
to
send
him
with
her.
Lucy
manages
to
acquire
him
legally.
What
happens
next
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Urmila's
Performance
In
WO
Urmila
has
a
good
scope
to
display
her
acting
skills
in
Welcome
Obama
and
she
has
given
a
brilliant
performance
in
the
movie.
As
a
surrogate
mother,
her
acting
is
very
convincing
and
she
will
impress
the
family
audience
in
sentimental
scenes.
Title
Role
In
WO
Singeetham
has
tried
his
best
to
tap
out
good
acting
from
the
boy,
who
acted
as
Krisha/Obama.
This
French
boy,
who
does
not
even
know
English,
has
given
a
decent
performance
in
Welcome
Obama.
Rachel-Sanjeev's
Acting
In
WO
Rachel,
who
recently
appeared
in
Potugadu,
has
also
delivered
a
decent
performance.
As
Yashoda's
brother,
Sanjeev
will
also
impress
you.
Niranjani,
RJ
Shekar
Basha
and
Ananth
Sriram
have
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Technical
Stuff
In
WO
Considering
its
shoe
string
budget,
Welcome
Obama
has
good
production
values.
Singeetham's
music
and
lyrics
are
the
main
attractions
in
the
technical
front.
His
soothing
music
comes
as
a
relief
to
the
audience
in
dragging
moments.
SS
Darshan
has
done
brilliant
job
in
capturing
the
beauty
of
Godavari.
But
editing
and
CG
works
are
average
and
should
have
been
better.
Welcome
Obama
Verdict
Overall,
Welcome
Obama
is
a
unique
attempt,
novel
story,
good
performances
and
soothing
music,
but
it
suffers
from
the
absence
of
entertainment
quotient.
It
will
impress
the
family
audiences.
