Madhuri (Seema) is a gynecologist who marries a fashion designer Karthik (Siva Balaji). Karthik dies in an accident. She joins the clinic run by Vamsi (Jayant). Vamsi proposes to marry her. Madhuri is reluctant but she is pursued by her father-in-law (Ranganath) to marry Vamsi. After their marriage, Vamsi introduces his patient called Balaji who is suffering from amnesia. Balaji looks exactly like Karthik and Madhuri doubts that Balaji could be Karthik. The rest of the story is all about the emotional struggle Madhuri undergoes!
Analysis :
Seema is sufficient for the role of a conventional Telugu girl. The entire film runs on her. Siva Balaji is competent though his dialogue delivery seems to be very fast in the first half. He did well in pathos scenes towards climax. Debutant Jayant is average. Siva Parvathy, Ranganath, Sivaji Raja and Chinna are adequate. Dharmavarapu Subramanyam is wasted.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Kunkuma deals with the emotional struggle of a wife when her 1st husband who believed to be dead comes back alive after she marries another man. The direction, screenplay and narration of the film are old-fashion and are not up to the mark, which made the film an uninteresting one. On a whole, Kunkuma is a boring and sluggish flick.
