Review
Ravi Teja and Allari Naresh teamed up for the first time and this has set the right kind of expectations, also with the film being a remake of a Kollywood super hit ‘Nadodigal’, the scales have gone high.
Three friends (Ravi Teja, Naresh, Siva Balaji) would die for each other’s friendships and each of them have their own goals. Ravi Teja puts his time in quest of Government job to marry his uncle’s daughter (Priyamani). Allari Naresh puts efforts to go abroad for reasons untold. Siva Balaji tries for bank loan to start an own business and settle down.
However, the arrival of Ravi Teja’s friend who is keen on marrying the daughter of a factionist (Mukesh Rishi) gets the trio together and they help the love birds get married. In this process, their lives suffer a lot. Things get worse when they discover that the love birds are now on the verge of divorce and getting married elsewhere. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
In this multi-starrer movie, Ravi Teja is with high spirits as usual and sometimes loud as well. Overall, he has contributed well to the character and the story. This is one of the highlight performances from Naresh. He strikes a chord with the audience with his performance though the story may not be that appealing to our folks. Siva Balaji looks handsome and though he is overshadowed by the presence of Ravi Teja and Naresh, he manages to make his presence felt at many instances.
Priyamani has carried her role with ease and performance driven characters suit well for Priyamani though she opts for glamour. Abhinaya is beautiful and very talented. Despite her impairment of speech and sound, she has given a splendid act.
Mukesh Rishi was evil as usual, Sunil was loud but managed few smiles, Ahuti Prasad was average, Tanikella was neat, Sudha Rani was as per standard. The others didn’t have much to contribute.
Roja appeared in a mother role (mother to Ravi Teja’s friend) as an Ex-MP and her performance is just so-so.
Krishna Bhagawan is the only saving grace for the movie that could spill some laughs on a whole.
Despite the presence of an extremely talented star cast, the film has not been able to appeal much. Technically also, the film lacks luster.
Music could have been better and the sound track didn’t help the confused tempo of the movie.
One can see that ‘Tamil Paityam’ which is usually ‘over’ as per the Telugu standards. The dose of sentiment and the overdose of emotions are something hard to digest.
However, there are few good sequences that can be appreciated and the technical values are good as well. Background score was racy and two songs can be taken home but then their situation was not at all relevant. Overall, the film suffers tempo-problem with partly slow paced and partly fast. The dialogue part or comedy track or narration lacks taste. A few scenes sound interesting and heart-touching in second half. But again the graph falls down. This may not survive for long at the box office.
