Gudipoodi Srihari Review

At times, frivolous issues form the base for a comedy. This film's theme is too based on one such 'non-issue' and revolves around an astrologer belief that the hero entertains.

Sastry (AVS), an astrologer, predicts that the girl who marries Sriram (Venu), will die during child birth. A shocked Sreeram decides to stay a bachelor, because his mother too, dies after delivering him, as predicted by the astrologer. He starts countering all the moves by his father (Kota Srinivasa Rao) and elder brother (Chandra Mohan), who is childless, to get him married.

Thus, the first part of drama takes care of the humour aspect with Sreeram trying to avoid marriage. But, he is finally hooked by Sruthi (Sruthi Raj). She does not mind marrying him even when he declares that he has an affair with someone else. Sruthi appreciates his frankness, and decides to marry him so that she can reduce her father's (MS Narayana) burden. Soon Sruthi becomes a pregnant.

Meanwhile, sruthi's younger sister (Geethu) falls in love with someone. When he goes abroad, she realizes that she is pregnant. So, pretending to be leaving for the States, she stays away from the family, in the same time, with the help of Sreeram. Indrajit (Ali), who aspires to marry one of the sisters but loses both, plays a comic villain adding to the humor vein of the drama.

All characters converge at a hospital, to where Sruthi is admitted, following an accidental fall. Sriram wants to save her life by seeking a divorce.

The entire drama comes to a grinding halt when the doctor (Chalapati Rao) announces the birth of twins and that Sruthi is safe. Ironically, the astrologer Sastry dies almost at the same time in an accident.

The strength of the film is its dialogue by Marudhuri Raja and his associates, which is the main vehicle of humor. Comedy is EVV's forte and director seems to be comfortable.

Three films old Venu graduates into some refined acting, but has yet to improve (n scenes involving expression of extreme emotions like shock and disappointment).

Sruthi Raj suits the role of a girl beset with family problems, perfectly. MS Narayana as the girls' father, and Ali as his nephew take care of the comedy part. Kota Srinivas and Chandra Mohan are at their best.

Brahmanandam, Mallikharjuna Rao and AVS are set in a desperate comedy track. Music by Koti and photography by Navkant add to the general appeal of the film.
