One of my all time favorites.
How sad is this?
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
A simple storyline:: Boy (Nitin) meets girl (Neha) in college, both fall in love and the fly-in-the-soup is the girl's father (Prakash Raj) who is a powerful mafia leader.Inspite of being a run-out-of-mill story, the movie keeps you glued to the seats purely owing to the novel treatment.There are ample doses of one-liners and wonderfully executed comedy sequences which blend seamlessly into the storyline (USP of the movie). Hummable songs by R P Patnaik are backed up with glossy picturisation. Action sequences are handled well. As in Tagore, once again the director portrays and glorifies the youth-power.Nitin has certainly matured since his Jayam days but has a long way to go (he carries a wooden expression all times). Neha is simply passable. Venu Madhav's comedy is good. Noteworthy performance by Rajan P Dev who carried the role as the girl's grand-father with poise and grandeur. Can someone tell Prakash Raj that his acting is simply proves that he is not afraid of the camera. In plain words - he is "painfully loud". Period.All in all, its a mixed basket of all the ingredients which qualify to make 3-hours of entertaining fare for the audience. As the director blends each ingredient to another, let me tell you that he does not lose sight of the storyline.Story - Screenplay - Direction is under the baton of VV Vinayak is a dark horse, one to look out for.The movie is targeted towards the audience who can bunk a few classes from college and certainly it shall appeal them in all respects.
