A friend in need is a friend indeed. But, when it comes to
winning a woman's hand, how two friends behave is interesting
to watch. This forms the base for the film. Each behaves as
he is sacrificing his love for his friend's sake, making the
girl feel as if she is a commodity.
Balu, Rajesh and Priya, played respectively by Sivaji, Rakesh
and Roopa, are caught in a love triangle. However, this familiar
story cannot suffice for the theme. To fill the rest, certain
college scenes common to youth-related films these days, are
incorporated into the film.
Most of the students indulge in teasing the girls. The girls
too are not far behind. All this goes as fun.
The classroom scenes are quite vexing, where the lecturer
(L.B. Sriram) behaves worse than the students, while the latter
hurl all kinds of expletives at him. Dialogue in every scene
is tasteless.
Director Nageswara Rao puts his best efforts only when he
deals with the triangular love aspect. Balu and Rakesh show
great interest in Preeti. While Preeti gets attracted to Balu,
Rajesh happens to be her childhood friend.
Each believes she is responding to his love. The three study
in the same college. The role of their elders in their lives
is minimum.
The presence of comedians like Sriram and M.S. Narayana makes
no difference to the film. Narayana plays the father of Rajesh,
who approves of everything his son desires/does.
A discotheque scene triggers a quarrel between Balu and the
owner of the place. This also serves as the base to enact
a long-drawn battle, with Balu and Rajesh on one side and
the ruffians on the other. As expected, the problem is finally
resolved by Preeti.
The roles are so routine that they hardly sustain interest.
Rakesh, who makes his debut with the film is passable. Sivaji
has been improving himself with every opportunity. Roopa is
average. Music by Vandemataram and photography by Aravind
make a reasonable technical support to the film.
