Three-film old Y.V.S. Chowdary makes an ambitious film this
time with a multi-star cast. "He combines love story
with a revenge theme, involving two families at war. College
students Nani (Aditya) and Bala (Ankita) fall in love. But
they need to get the permission of Bala's three elder brothers
to marry. These three brothers are bachelors. Therefore the
young lovers plan to get Bala's brothers married first, hoping
this will pave way for their marriage.
Till this point, the story has routine college campus pranks.
Once these 'bothers' of Bala come into view, the story takes
a farcical turn, showing all the characters paired into three
groups behaving in odd manner.
The second half is a drama of vengeance, putting Hari Krishna
in constant focus as action hero, with mass image. Even the
title starts loosing its relevance.
Nandamuri Hari Krishna plays Krishnama Naidu, the eldest of
three brothers played by Suman and Vineeth. The three remain
single, as there is a rule in the village that the brothers
cannot marry till their younger sister is married off. Their
father (Viswanath) is a highly respected person and his word
is law. But most of the drama runs in his absence. In the
same vicinity lives three sisters (Bhanu Priya, Rachana and
Sanghavi). Their father (Ranganath) has faith in astrology
and informs his sister Ammayamma (Ramaprabha) that his three
daughters have to marry three brothers of another family,
for a happy future. But to achieve such an equation is difficult.
Hence the sisters too stay unmarried. Lovers Nani and Bala
come to know of this and work with Achamamba to pair these
three brothers with three sisters. How each one of these brothers
get attracted to each one of the sisters, takes almost one
quarter of the film's length. Most of it is lighter vein drama.
Hari Krishna and Bhanu Priya as one pair, Suman and Rachana
as the second and Vineet and Sanghavi as the third, keep us
engaged with their unusual behavioral patterns, finally to
be drawn to each other.
But all is not so well with Achamamba (Lakshmi) entering the
scene with her own game plan. How she is taught a lesson and
exposed, forms the rest of the movie.
The story combines too many plots and too many characters
making the narration quite confusing and lengthy lasting for
almost three hours. It heavily banks upon Hari Krishna's performance
and he rises to the situation, using all his experience he
gained since the days of his father NTR stardom with whom
he co-starred in many a film. The rest of the artistes simply
fade away, but for Lakshmi, who comes into prominence in the
second part, as the villain of the subject. She dominates
the last part, but tends to over act. Aditya is a poor choice
to play such an important role, while another newcomer Ankita
is passable. Kiravani's music score stands out. However, the
background score dominates the dialogue.
