Direction & Story

The film is about Gopallam who has a fear that his daughter Paddu is in love with her colleague Santosh after listening to his neighbor's story whose daughter had a similar love story. How Santosh changes the thinking of Gopalam & impresses him forms the rest. Maruthi’s stories are quite simple as he pens a script taking a weakness of a particular character or a small incident and churns out decent comedy around that. This time too the story is nothing out of the box in terms of content but he plays with the weakness of the fears that a father has for his daughter & her love. The screenplay is better in the first half but is dragged unnecessarily in the latter with other conflict points. Director Maruthi is successful in making the audience laugh as he makes sure that the film has enough fun & comedy at regular intervals. The core conflict point may be weird but he covers it up with good humor.

Lead Performances

The real hero of the film is Ajay Ghosh. He is given a full-length central character who drives the entire narrative. He is sincere & earnest with his performance and scores well in the comedy department this time. His character has multiple shades like anger, comedy, and emotion. If not for him, the film would have really been quite routine & would have lacked the freshness. Santhosh Shoban is improving as an actor with every film and with this film too he gives out a convincing performance. He fits the role perfectly as a youngster who is possessive about his girlfriend & here he looks a lot more confident with his body language & comedy. Mehreen looks beautiful & does is expected from her. Though she has limited screen time, her acting in emotional father-daughter episodes brings depth to the proceedings to an extent. She looks a lot slimmer & her chemistry with Santhosh looks convincing.

Other Performances

PD Srinivas and Koteshwara Rao get unexpectedly bigger roles as the neighbors and their track works well in the first half coz of the funny situations. Praveen is hilarious with his Appadala Vijay Lakshmi track while Viva Harsha also adds to it in the second half. They both play the hero's friends in the film. Vennela Kishore is utilized briefly as the Doctor but he makes us laugh when every time he comes on screen. Sudharshan impresses in a scene where Ajay Gosh's character talks to Appadala Vijay Lakshmi in the second half. His frustration there is super funny. Saptagiri generated a few laughs like he always does as the Ambulance driver while Srinivas Reddy makes a late entry in the second half and impresses with his trademark fun and witty dialogue delivery. The rest of the cast are fine in their respective limited supporting roles.

Detailed Analysis

The entire film revolves around the roles of Gopalam and his poking friends who are focused on sharing things about his daughter. The situations, comedy, performances & dialogues here make things passable. Watch out for Appadala Vijay Lakshmi’s & the episode of the phone conversation of her with the father. The second half has a lot of lot with few unnecessary episodes. The corona track doesn't work as expected & the sudden jump from comedy to emotions in the plot isn't smoothly done. Even the emotional scenes look very forced into the script as the melodrama goes overboard in some scenes of the second half. The romantic track between the lead pair is boring. It pulls down the momentum whenever it arrives. The scene where Ajay Ghosh’s role gets his realization with a simple scene isn't convincing Dialogues are funny & well written. and the climax ends on a dull note.
