Story:
A well knit tale, the story is about Gautam (Nara Rohit) who is an orphan and grows to become a software engineer. His goal in life is to marry a girl who belongs to a joint family since he is solo from childhood. On the other hand, there is Vaishnavi (Nisha Agarwal) who hails from a big family and is doted by all. She has a very strong bond with her father Naidu (Prakash Raj). A chance incident gets Gautam to see Vaishnavi and he falls in love with her. However, Vaishnavi doesn't respond. After few situations, she starts responding to his feelings. But trouble comes in the form of Naidu who is dead against giving his daughter to an orphan. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.
Artist Performances:
Nara Rohit comes with a good performance and he scores in few places. But he must develop ease in his body language and flexibility in his facial expressions. Nisha Agarwal is neat and does a fine job. However, she must also focus on performance aspect, especially in emotional scenes. Prakash Raj is perfect. Jayasudha gives decent act. Sayaji Shinde was standard. Srinivasa Reddy was excellent. Ali brought few smiles. M S Narayana was moderate. Ravu Ramesh could have been used for better length. Pavitra Lokesh was elegant. The others did their bit as required.
Plus Points:
* Emotional depth
* Dialogues
* Background score
* Cinematography
* Comedy
Minus Points:
* Second half
* Lead pair performance during emotional scenes
* Overdose of sentiment in second half
Analysis:
The idea of coming up with a joint family concept is unrealistic in today's times given the lifestyle and demands of the world. However, the subject was handled with deft maturity and more than the idea of the film, it is the message which is conveyed and the way it has been conveyed which scores. The feel of the film is the key aspect for grabbing the audience attention and that worked here. Though there were those occasional hiccups, overall the film has worked in a good way and it will appeal to all classes of audience. At the box office, it has good chances to score hit.
Verdict: Emotional and Touching!!!
