Chowdary (Naresh) runs a music school at a hill station. Bala (Bala Krishna) teaches songs
to Kalyani (Meera Jasmine), Chowdary’s daughter. Krishna (Bala Krishna) is a dance teacher at a rival
college run by Chamundeswari (Jaya Prada). Bala is a unglamorous naïve man while Krishna is a
trendy hipster. Bala makes Kalyani fall in love with Krishna. The rest of the story is all about whether
Bala and Krishna are the same and the reason behind Bala and Krishna trying to unite the college
heads Chowdary & Chamundeswari.
Analysis :
Bala Krishna: Bala Krishna has a role of three shades. He also had four different getups in
the film. He has shown a nice difference in terms of get up and body language between the Bala and
Krishna characters. His interpretation of Bala Krishna character is excellent. He has shown a knack for
comedy with the antics of the goon who is addicted to alcohol. Bala Krishna before has never
attempted this kind of character. He should also be appreciated for donning the fourth get-up in the
film. This is a kind of rare and unique gesture by Bala Krishna who has acted the roles of the kurupi
character in Bhairava Dweepam and the wanderer character in Maharadhi. His mass mannerisms in
second half are good.
maharadhiOthers: Sneha is good as the girl who searches for musical talent and she comes in the
second half. Meera Jasmine is limited to first half of the film. She does well as a playful girl. Navaneet
Kaur has acted the limited role of Bala Krishna's dance student. Jayaprada is back on the Telugu
screen after a long time and she is adequate. Naresh is adequate. Kovai Sarala is fair as the mother of
Bala Krishna. There is a small comedy role by Venu Madhav in the film.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is decent with Bala Krishna providing entertainment with his two roles.
The second half is sluggish. The plus points of the film are Bala Krishna's efforts in a role of four
different shades and the nice music. On the flipside, the direction is a bit old-fashioned. P Vasu's films
cater to the family crowds (especially ladies) and win at the box office in the long run. The success of
this film depends on how it appeals to the family crowds
