Story

The title kicked up curiosity at production stage itself. It is surprising to note that the title has an equally irrelevant catch line - Dammunte Preminchu (Dare to love, if you have guts). If at all something can justify the title, it is the hero's attempt to get four young men united with their respective sweethearts. Why he does this is explained in a flashback a little later in the film.

The storyline is not unusual. It adopts the success formula of `faction' themes of the hero living incognito, as the film opens, and his accomplice revealing his friend's true identity. Jagapathibabu plays Rishi, who runs a yoga centre in a town. One of his students (Sonia) loses heart to him but he doesn't respond. Amid all this, he helps four boys win the hearts of the girls they love. When somebody questions why he was doing this, Rishi's father (Chalapati Rao) unveils the story of his son whose love interest, Anjali (Neha Mehta), snaps ties with him due to a misunderstanding in the past.

Rishi attacks anti-social elements and wins over loads of admirers in the process. In love with Anjali, he is shattered when she misunderstands him due to a murky drama played by her father. He wants to make his daughter believe that Rishi is not all that good and loving as she assumes him to be.

This and other situations make him leave his town and settle down elsewhere - teaching yoga. Only after Anjali realises her father's villainy, the differences between the lovers are patched. And there is the mandatory fight scene in the end, where both groups try to settle scores. The fights are unbelievably beyond human dynamics.

It is a bad storyline, which imitates past stories of this genre but with a minor difference.

The second half shows the writer-director's poor imagination skills. Music by Ramana Gogula is jarring with its wild tunes and voices.

Neither of the girls - each featured in the two halves of the drama - make sense of their presence. But for Satya Prakash in the villain's role, none impress. There is no relief at all, despite the presence of Brahmanandam and Ali.
