Story

The action hero Gopichand acted with a big heroine for the first time. Though he acted with Anushka, she was not into the big league that time. Gopichand also tried to look glamorous in this movie.

Story bigins in Australia where hero Chandu ( Gopichand) falls in love with Maha Lakshmi and chases her. Mahalakshmi( Trisha) also reciprocates to his love proposal after initial resistance. As every thing in their love episode seems to be going well, Mahalakshmi aunt comes in and takes her back to India to get her married to her son.

Chandu returns to India for Mahalakshmai and found out that she is the daughter of Pasupathy ( Kota) who is a faction leader in Kadapa. Pasupathy is waging a war with another faction leader Sivaiah ( satya Raj)from neibhoring village.Chandu takes Pasupathy side and takes on Sivaiah and shocked to find out that Sivaiah is his estranged father.

Why Chandu doesn’t know about his father all these days? How Chandu managed to get Mahalakshmi with the rivalry between the two groups is the rest of the story.

Performance

Gopichand subdued his mass elements in this movie. He tried more comedy and looked for a glamorous look. He failed in both.
 
Trisha looked gorgeous and gave best performance. She gained little weight and looked perfect. She looked pretty in short dresses.

Ali comedy is the highlight in the first half. Srinivas Reddy, Venumadhav provides some good comedy. Kota Srinivas Rao is routine and it is like a rehearsal. Satya Raj as a dignified faction leader gave a neat performance. Rest of the cast is okay.

Technical

Director Shiva wanted to film a faction drop movie in lighter vein. He unnecessarily added comedy scenes at wrong time by diluting the essence in the movie. He couldn’t bring the seriousness into the movie and keep the audience connected to the movie even in second half where the story takes serious turn. He should have work on comedy scenes and add couple of really intense emotional scenes. Screen play and editing is OK.

Taman music is big draw back.Songs composition is poor and background score is average. Cinematography by Vetri is rich. Dialogues by newcomer Anil are good. Costumes are good. Production values are good.

Analysis

Director Shiva who earlier tasted a success with ‘Shouryam’ couldn’t repeat the same magic this time. He choosed a wafer thin faction backdrop story and tried to add comedy and romance into it. Result, the films lacks action and major portion of the movie runs with cheap comedy and romance between the lead pair. First half runs with romance and comedy and second half just drags on with unwanted scenes all the way. The emotional scenes are not good enough to keep the audience glue to the screen.

Ali comedy and Trisha glamour are plus points for the movie while Gopichand role will not please his fans who wanted to see him as a macho action hero.
 
On the whole, it is a failed attempt by hero Gopichand  who tried to be look different and subdue his action hero image.
