Gudipoodi Srihari Review

tell a friend

Story

Dasarath, who gave Santosham, fails to deliver a happy, engrossing subject despite the fact that he is directing this movie for producer Teja.

The theme is a repetition of some scenes from Toli Prema, especially the climax with just minor changes. The subject revolves around childhood friends becoming lovers - how the disparity in academics is responsible for the girl treating her childhood friend as just a friend. Ravi (Nitin) and Geeta (Nikita) are childhood friends whose families are closely related. Geeta does engineering, while Ravi fares badly in studies. . Ravi wants to marry her but she refuses and brushes him off saying he cannot get a job and she does not want him to live on her money. A highly disappointed Ravi leaves for Dubai to achieve something. He is also concerned about the humiliation he would suffer following Geeta's rejection to marry him as everybody is aware of their imminent marriage. Therefore, he wants to be away from this atmosphere. By the time Geeta learns about his departure, Ravi is already at airport. That is when she starts thinking about how much she would miss him and how important he is to her.

Nitin has no role to play except moving around, cutting a sorry figure. Nikita, on the other hand, gets a role of the decision maker which she plays well. Performances by Giribabu (Nikita's father) and Sita (Ravi's sister-in-law) are worth mentioning. The comedy track is poorest in the screenplay. It is surprising that noted director S.V. Krishna Reddy accepted to play an insignificant role.

The backdrop of a hill station provides an opportunity to the cinematographer to present pleasing visuals. Music by R.P. Patnaik is just a repetition of his own tunes. This is not a good sign. The longest dialogue uttered by Geeta when she refuses to marry Ravi lacks logic and does not make sense.
