Ravi (Tarun) is an aimless youngster who falls in love with Swati (Arti Agarwal) at the first sight. But he does not get an opportunity to meet and talk to her because of her over protective ruffian brother (Subbaraju). When he comes to know about Swati's unwillingness to marry a guy whom her brother fixed, Ravi helps her by taking her away from marriage ceremony. Then she tells him that she loves a guy called Chandu (Jugal Hansraj). Ravi sacrifices his feelings towards her and decides to unite Swati with Chandu. Rest of the story is all about how all ends well.
Analysis :
Main Leads: Tarun's role in this film has two shades. It is pretty jovial and irresponsible in first half and very serious and responsible in second half. Tarun did pretty well with effortless ease. Arti Agarwal is slim in this film. She wore traditional Indian dresses in the entire film except for the flashback episode. Jugal Hansraj is miscast for this role. He did not match the sensibility Telugu guy and he could not get into the skin of his character. Hero Sivaji dubbed his voice. Any good-looking Telugu youth hero would have done justice to this role.Others: The friends' gang of Tarun led by Vijay did well. The kid who did the role of Nani is hilarious. The cameos done by Ali and Sunil are good. The comedy thread involving Brahmanandam and Kalpana Rai is entertaining. Kota Srinivasa Rao is perfect as father of Tarun. Subbaraju is adequate to the role of brother of heroine. Devi Charan had a couple of comedy scenes as henchman to Subbaraju. Venkatesh, Shriya, Sumanth and Srikanth gave special appearances.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is excellent. Ravi Babu should be appreciated for entertaining the crowds in first half without any story. The flashback episode does not connect well with the audiences. Second half of the film meanders into routine formula. The plus points of the film are Ravi Babu's stylish taking, 1st half, music, photography and artwork. The negative point is second half (especially flashback episode and Jugal Hansraj). This film is a visual feast. You will not regret watching Soggadu as the first half and songs itself would give value for your money.
