Then there was a village in coastal area. Sivudu (Naresh) belongs to lower caste and Katyayani (Sadaf) is a chaste Brahmin. When the village head comes to know that they fell in love, he decides to hang them off because inter-caste love/marriage is a sin as per their village laws.These two souls take a rebirth. Kathyayani is born as Uma, a sister of powerful politician (Benerjee). Sivudu is born as Kaasi, a NRI orphan who returns back from USA to do a Telugu music video album. He is in search of a pristine Telugu girl and he finds Uma. They fall in love, but her politician brother wants her to get married to his nephew (Shafi).Uma and Kaasi run away from Vizag city to coastal area and incidentally they land in a place where Kathyayani and Sivudu lived. The village men identify them. The rest of the film is all about how all ends well.
Analysis :
It's a pretty much different character for Allari Naresh. He did well in the role of 'Kaasi'. But for 'Sivudu' role, he should have changed his body language to make the character look more innocuous.Sadaf breathed in life into the character of 'Kathyayani' with her powerful and emotional performance. She is an asset to this film. Her village belle looks perfectly suited the character of Kathyayani. Her performance in this film would remain as one of her bests in her entire career. Seeta did a very unglamorous role of hero's mother. She did extremely well. She dubbed her own voice for the first time and her voice suited the character.Benerjee gave a controlled performance as the brother of heroine. Shafi's role does not have any purpose in this film. Rallapally did a very good character. The only comedy ingredient in this film, which is performed by MS Narayana and Kovai Sarala is not up to the mark. Rajan P Dev has just 2 scenes in this film, but there two scenes are very important and powerful.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The film starts on a good note and ends on a happy note. The 1st birth episode is very good. The climax is also good but quick. The in between narration did not sustain the mood of the film. The highlights of the film are Sadaf, director's taking, music and photography. The vital drawback of the film is lack of entertainment and commercial values. This film may get handful of awards, but may not get any financial reward for the producer.
