Siddu thinks Sanjana is dead. Sanjana thinks Siddu is no more. The rest of the story is all about how fate unites them again.
Analysis :
Looks wise Sairam Shankar is pretty average and resembles his brother Puri Jagan. His appearance and looks suited the 'awara' image meant for the character. However it is his dialogue delivery and voice modulation that needs lot of improvement. There are good dialogues written for him. There is so much of situational comedy in that character (like the ones written for Ravi Teja in Idiot and ANOTA). Because of bad dialogue delivery and no comedy timing, it has gone in vain. His costumes (in dances) and dancing style resembles that of Nagarjuna.Main heroine Samiksha is pretty average in looks and histrionics. Asha Saini (Flora Saini) put on lot of weight and it shows up even more on the screen. Puja (daughter of Subhashini) did a small role. And she is just OK. Satya Prakash is good as the leader of ultras. Brahmanandam, Ali, Venu Madhav and Dharmavarapu Subramanyam generated good amount of humor in this film. Naga Babu is terrific as police official with his serious comedy. Brahmaji is very good in the role of a cop. Rama Raju, Uttej, Srinivasa Reddy and others are adequate.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The first half an hour of the film is routine. Film takes off from the point of elopement. The positive points of the film are Puri Jagan's story, screenplay, comedy and music. The negative point is dubbing of the hero and lack of love episodes (being a film that is titled as 143 (I love you)). The TV9 episodes which are meant for comedy scenes tend to take a dig at TV9's style of reporting. This film is an above average film with ample comedy and mass sequences. And it would definitely get profits to Puri Jagan who kept the distribution rights of entire territory to himself. But the question here is about how much profit it would fetch!
