Gudipoodi Srihari Review

tell a friend

An ambitious production that launched yet another grandson of the late NTR, Taraka ratna, the film has some big names of the industry associated with it. The launch of the film became the talk of the town, when eight other films featuring him were also announced the same day.

The credits are impressive-Raghavendra rao is the producer and screenplay writer, Aswini Dutt, the presenter and a. kodandarami reddy, is the director.

Taraka ratna looks tall and 'active'. His performance dominates his 'average looks' and as the film progresses the boy settles well with the lover boy image. He will do well to concentrate more on his performance skills and apt stories that will assure a good future.

He impresses with acting, dancing and fighting, the essential ingredients of modern cinema. But the theme is ordinary, narrating a routine story. It is a college based youth drama, with a bunch of friends hanging around the hero, Balu (taraka ratna). He notices a new entrant into the college - Swapna (Rekha) and falls in love with her.

Rajeev (Rajeev kanakala), the bad guy in the college, is out to tease girls. And the same boy is being proposed by his father (devadas kanakala) to marry Swapna, as Swapna's father (tanikelaa) is his close friend.

The film opens to the display of brutality by Swapna's father who gets his daughter (swapna's older sister) and her lover killed because she goes against his wishes. This scene is intended to suggest that similar fate awaits Swapna.

After she grows up, Swapna stays with her paternal uncle (Giribabu) in the city to pursue studies. That is when Balu and Swapna fall in love. When Swapna's father asks his brother Giribabu to send the photograph of the bridegroom Rajeev, Balu's friends' quietly replace the photograph of Rajeev with that of Balu. Arrangements are made at Swapna's house for the betrothal, and what follows is chaos.

Rekha's portrayal of Swapna is neat. But her father's role, by Tanikella is artificial. Giribabu, Devadas and Rajeev are used more for lighter vein drama. Keeravani's music score is a redeeming factor of the film.
