Chanti (Ravi Teja) is one of the top notch performers in Indian military. Chanti visits his hometown for the funeral of his father Madhava Rao (Ranganath), an ex-military officer. Chanti has a blind sister (Revathy) to take care of. He decides to stay for a while and marry off his sister. He has a land of 5 acres. This land would become a block in the proposed road leading to the sugar factory that the local MLA (Atul Kulakarni) acquires. Chanti refuses to sell off his land as it has sentimental value; since his father was buried in that place. This incident leads to a war between Chanti and local MLA. Chanti marries off his sister to his colleague at military (Raja Ravindra). Chanti's brother-in-law gets killed by the MLA. Then it is revealed that Chanti's father was also killed by the same MLA. The rest of the story is all about how Chanti takes revenge on him.
Analysis :
There is nothing in the film that is worth recommending. The story is tacky, the acting corny and everything else is in between. Ravi Teja is energetic but he is caught in the shallow waters of an insipid story and irrelevant screenplay. Charmi mouths some stupid double meaning lines and is wasted in a cardboard caricature of a role. Atul Kulkarni is as usual efficient. But his efforts are wasted in this mindless movie. Shoban, the director, is visible only in the title card.
TeluguOne Perspective :
obhan, who began with a disaster like "Bobby" and revived his career with "Varsham", disappoints with a moronic theme and has failed to extract a gripping screenplay from writers Shajahan-Vivek. Upcoming Charmy overdoes the role of a daredevil girl. She has yet to shed the hangover of her loud performance in "Sri Anjaneyam". Debutant Anjali provides the oomph. National Award-winning Hindi actor Atul Kulkarni, who impressed in "Gouri", tries to salvage a poorly etched role. omposer Sri blasts one's ears with heavy beats. Sri, who impressed with an offbeat score in "Aithe", has relied more on cacophony, suppressing the lyrics.
