Gudipoodi Srihari Review

The film boasts about '90 per cent close-up shots' and 'four State Government Nandi Awards', given almost a decade ago. But the delay in its release harmed the film to a great extent. The film has been given an 'A-certificate '

The subject and the style of narration raise quite a few eyebrows. Besides, the film lasts only 100 minutes. The theme gets suck in a single point of how a teenage rape victim suffers depression, even when she has the moral support of her father and the young man who loves her. The visuals of her mental trauma get alternated with her verbal exchanges with her father and her lover. These are the only three characters in the film. There are of course two- three more characters including the rapist, hazily shown in a flashback, and Jayalalitha in a small role.

Maya (Girija) is a film journalist. She meets a 'rising star' of Telugu cinema. Anand (Sanjay Mitra). What transpires between them in the three-dialogue interview is exchanging of opinion on love, marriage and romance. Anand expresses his love for her and it leads into a conflict within Maya who struggles to deal with her traumatic past and face the present. Encouraged by father, emotional bouts cause unease in Anand. But he tries to understand and support her.

The film continues on a tiring level duly earning negative reaction from the audience.

Some were found commenting, "Who gave Nandi award to this film"?

Playback by Jesudas, S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and L. Vaidyanathan's music are the only assets to the film. Madhu Ambat's photographic skills are on display in these much-publicized close-ups. But of what use?
