Story
Akash (Rahul) is an introvert with not much of self-confidence and he comes across Meenakshi (Sravya), a bold girl. They fall in love, get married against their elders wishes. All is happy till Meenakshi takes a job and an incident plants suspicion in Akash’s mind. But is really Meenakshi upto something? Or is Akash just imagining? All that forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Rahul has fitted well as his natural body language suited for the given role. He can grow up well in his career if plans right with his roles.
Sravya was generous with her skin show and flaunted all possible curves to appease the masses. The fact that she is not attractive was covered up by her oozing sex appeal and bold skin show.
Rajeev was brief, Ravi was apt, Muralikrishna made his presence felt, Sanjjanaa was grumpy in item song. The actor who did the role of FB managed to get few smiles. Others didn’t get much scope.
Highlights
- Sravya’s visual feast
Drawbacks
- Perverted storyline
- Weak screenplay
- Overload of lust
- Poor technical values
- Lot of drag
Analysis
The moment one sees Maruthi’s name on a film, it alerts the hardcore masses because they know that they are in for some visual treat and crappy dialogues which exhibit perversion and sexual lust in good quantity.
But this time, even they might feel a little choked looking at this film.
It is also surprising to see a reputed banner like Creative Commercials teaming up for such a cheap flick.
Anyways, coming back to the film, it is true that Maruthi has tapped the selling point of cinema is double meaning dialogues and plots filled with perversion but there is a limit and line to be drawn. He may well be the producer but his hand and flavor in the film is seen very clearly.
A software company where every employee is having extra marital affair with a colleague, girls smoking and boys drinking to glory at their work desk, boss looking at every girl lecherously, not sure where such cultures are followed in Corporate circuit.
Only the office boy is the wisest and sensible in that.
The concept of blackmailing for satisfying sexual needs of some psychos is alright but there is a way to present it, the believability aspect is less and it reflects more of the director and producer’s psyche than the character in the film.
The first few scenes of the film are somewhat entertaining and there is some decency in the romance. But within no time, the Boothu factor awakens and takes the film to a totally different level. By interval, the film lands into the danger zone.
The second half takes it to the peak of sexual sadism and there is too much of negativity which is tough to be handled by the audience.
The only plus for this is the skin show of the heroine and those vulgar symbolisms which the C-grade audience might connect to.
Overall, it is embarrassing and taxing for the audience to go through the whole rut of lust and sexual perversion.
Bottomline: Weird and tough to digest
