The film is entertaining and fills the gap for god comedies,
with Kamal Haasan in the driving seat as Sambandham. Abbas
and Sneha play lovers Anand and Malathi. They aspire to go
abroad for higher studies.
The introductory scene shoos Anand being beaten by an enraged
rowdy whose sister Malathi runs away from the marriage pandal
to meet her lover.
In a desperate mood he shouts 'Anna'. And lo, her comes Anna
- Sambandham- to Anand's rescue. A professional stunt man
and a staunch 'Brahmachari', Sambandham reprimands Anand for
falling in love, as he believes that 'love begets problems'.
There is Janaki (Simran), a doctor, who also wants to stay
a spinster. Being a good friend, Malathi seeks her help. Janaki
succeeds in getting the lovers married legally. But, six months
later, the couple's, marriage is on the rocks. The point of
argument: immigration to Australia. While Anand gets the nod
from the immigration office, Malathi does not. She blames
him saying that it is his ploy to leave her and it is breach
of trust. A helpless Anand pretends to swallow pills to commit
suicide, but Janaki exposes the drama in the hospital.
Janaki has a watch, which plays devotional songs periodically.
Sambandham meets with an accident while shooting for a film
and gets admitted to the hospital. She performs with her watch
inside his stomach. The watch starts playing devotional music
at odd times, taking Sambandham by surprise. Now that Janaki
realizes her mistake, she tries to amend it by befriending
him. She plans to operate upon him once again to remove the
watch.
Sambandham responds to her positively and there is a sea change
in his behavior and appearance. He believes Janaki is rally
in love with him. Sambandham's grandfather, too, notices the
change. But, Janaki has other designs. She succeeds in her
plan and it is now time for her to get rid of him. What happens
to Sambandham, his grandfather, their vast property and to
Janaki is what we watch in the ensuing drama.
As usual, Kamal Haasan is the biggest draw and, with al his
antics intact, he does not disappoint. Once he appears on
the screen the humor machine gets switched on. It is a laugh
riot. Simran, too, gets a different role, a comical one. She
proves competent. Abbas and Sneha make a good pair. Mouli
handles the scenes well. Music by Deva, in this Telugu dubbing
of the Tamil original, is pleasing.
Incidentally, the movie opened in the newly renovated theatre,
Sri Sai Raja - former Raja Deluxe. Located in Musheerabad,
the theatre is one of the oldest in the twin cities, with
an interesting history. Totally renovated, one finds that
it is audience friendly, with spacious seating arrangements,
excellent acoustics, advanced sound system, wide screen and
latest projectors.
