All you notice is Ankita’s thighs and Shivaji’s pot belly…

Consider this - Here is a Hero who was cozy doing soft & comic roles, now wants to do some real action, ’Mass’ stuff (and become Nagarjuna or Mahesh Babu ’overnight’), for which neither his looks, nor his protruding pot belly is suitable;

Here is a Heroine who is fighting her sagging career, expanding waistline and the bad name she acquired for herself in the industry, and now "DESPERATE" to the extent of looking vulgar; and she thinks shedding cloths on-screen will revive her career;

Here is a villain who, despite all his over make-up looks quite young..., younger than his ever-wailing son;

Here is a Director who had done only one movie (a flop in it) in his life, that too long long back, and could not get a producer for his next venture since then, now comes up with an insipid script hoping to better his fortunes;

Here is a Producer who could not get distributors buy his movie and had to shelve the project for about six months;

Now what do you expect from such a film.... You are right... a very very stale two-and-half hours of cliché-ridden boredom.

So, the hero Sita Ramudu (Shivaji) is an unemployed youth (should we say that??) whiling-away his time playing caroms with his equally awara gang. The opening scene shows us that this man is a very cool dude who sings the mandatory (for a ‘mass’ hero) introduction song instead of attending the job interview for which he goes to Vizag. And lo… he has a ready answer to cover this - seems someone badly needed that job and our hero sacrificed it for him??!!!??

Sita Ramudu falls in love with plump Ankita... and tries to win her over.... This elaaaaaaaaaborate courtship ’drama’ eats away almost 80 percent of the movie time. To put it differently, the story wanders aimlessly for almost 2 hours 15 minutes. In between, there is this sobbing ugly duck called villain’s son who also says he is in love with Ankita at first sight. And the villain Ramulu (Rahul ’too-young-to-be-gray-haired’ Dev) vows that he would find her ’in his spare time’ and get her married to his son. And towards the last reel, Rahul Dev finds Ankita and tries to eliminate Shivaji.

Believe me… this is the entire story?? There is nothing else. Don’t say what the heck the movie is made for.

The movie suffers from too many handicaps: There is no story. Almost the entire movie is dedicated to show how Shivaji enacts a yawning drama to impress Ankita. The comedy track involving Ali and others is just ridiculous and insipid to say the least. All the jokes and one-liners are straight lift from the joke books your grand parents might have read when they were six-year old kids. Absolutely no actor looked interested in this movie; all the performances, including that of Shivaji, were sheepish. Except for one, all the songs were factory-made recycled tunes. In fact some of the songs, especially the first one rendered by Ramana Gogula himself really irritates the audience. There is no direction, or screen-play.

The script looked like a straight lift from Municipal Corporation dustbin. I do not think of any reason why anyone would like to watch this movie... except of course for some over-exposing done by Ankita (many scenes of which have been chopped off mercilessly by the Censors though). Watch this at your own risk. - Xdev
