Though GV played roles with negative shades in various films, he had not even a single role which could be remembered for long by the Telugu audiences. As he played small-time villain roles in many films, he got used to thrashing by the heroes. Mere action scenes were his forte and he may not have absolute knowledge on the entire film-making. However, he ventured into direction with a sheer passion to wield the megaphone. Mere learning of a few words like ready, action, rolling, cut, pack-up are not just enough to turn a director. There should be hard work and struggle. A director should be capable of controlling all the 24 crafts and extract what he needed from each of the technician. One need to know the tactic in extracting the output. On the other hand, Nithin, who had very tender face, should have restricted himself to love subjects with some college backdrop. His penchant to play mass hero role came in handy for GV and Nithin to kept high hopes on the success of the movie.
Nagendra Naidu (Nagendra Babu) is a powerful police officer. He wants to see his son Radhakrishna (Nithin) also a good police officer. He always dreams of his son bashing the dons and get a state government’s medal which should be presented through his hands. However, his wife Sarala (Kovai Sarala) wants to see her son as a super star. As Nagendra Naidu convinces his wife that all the training that is needed for a film hero could be learnt in just three months time in the Police Academy, Sarala agrees to join him in the Police Academy. Radha falls in love with Krishnaveni (Bhavana) at the police academy. The latter too loses her heart to him. At this juncture, her photo appears in the TV saying that she was a big Naxalite leader. The actual story gets revealed with a small twist. What is the twist? Who created Krishnaveni as a Naxalite or did she really a Naxalite? What happened to the love between Radha and Krishna? How far, Radha was able to fulfil the dream of his father Nagendra Naidu. Answers to all these questions form part of the second half.
No doubt, Nithin proved himself as a good performer by working hard in action scenes and in dances. He definitely needs appreciation for this. He proved himself in action scenes and dances with good ease. We should not wear the stripes just because a tiger has. The director gave an extra build up to the hero’s character larger than its original. The hero is a police officer, but the voice is very low. Though he shook legs well, they are in wrong timing as it failed to follow the rhythm. When there is a large movement in the dance, it should synchronise with the music. Otherwise, it appears like mixing curd rice (Perugannam) with milk rice (Payasam) and tasting with a pickle (avakaya). Whether it is real life or reel life, one has to choose something which is suitable for his nature and it would be healthy. Nithin should first realise this and then only success would knock his door. He has the ability to do and also had the commitment to give something, but he is unable to judge and losing his sense as to which would be suitable for him. As a result, the success is going far off from him. As far as Bhavana, she tried to do justice within her limitations. At a time, when the Tollywood is worrying that there are no heroines who involve totally in their characters, Bhavana came forward as a boon. Especially, calling everyone who is elder to her as uncle, the scene in which she gets drunk and talks to the other artistes have come out excellently. Nagababu played a routine and regular character. However, Kovai Sarala character was moulded in an embarrassing manner and everyone hates this kind of role. There is no need to keep a senior artiste like Ramyakrishna in the police officer’s role and any one can do. Kota Srinivasa Rao did justice to his role but it appears like a very routine character. Brahmanandam, Ali, Rajesh, Tirupati Prakash, Surya, Joginaidu are okay in their roles.
When it comes to the review of the efficiency of those who worked behind the screen it is C Ramprasad who needs the first mention. If the director gets at least minimum marks, it is due to the cinematographer alone. Ramprasad tried his best to portray each and every frame in a different way. If the director had the ability, it should have come more efficiently on the screen. The director is not in a position as to which scene he had to start the shooting. It was Ramprasad, who was able to manage and cover this inability. Next comes the music by Manisharma. He gave nice tunes to all the songs within his limitations. Other departments had nothing much to talk about. The director absolutely had no knowledge about the film-making. The power in his voice failed to reflect on the screen. In fact, GV boasted about the story saying that he had shown the subject to several producers and the film would prove what he said is right and how best he would be as director. Now, GV is responsible to answer them. Action will always speaks louder than words. It is unwise to lose the tongue before proving one’s ability. Just because we cooked a dish, we will definitely like it, but there is no hard and fast rule that it should be tasty to everyone. Nivas’ dialogues are absolutely poor. Anand Sai’s art is okay. Kanal Kannan, who composed fights in the film showed no difference between the hero and other artistes.
The opening scene in the film came out superbly. Immediately, Kovai Sarala’s entry totally disturbs the peaceful atmosphere and embarrasses the audiences and makes them quite nervous. There is no need to pick the entire rice, only two pieces will do to say whether it was properly cooked or not. The first two scenes would be enough to judge the quality and result of the movie. Especially the scenes in police academy tested the patience of audiences and reflect the mentality of the director. A twist on the life of the heroine was kept at the interval bang. However, the present generation audience are used to such twists and it did not surprise any of them. Moreover, they felt relieved for getting a chance to take a breath outside to savour a cup of tea. After getting into the theatre for the second half, the audiences had no chance either a scene to enjoy, or nothing to excite, nor there is any scene with sentiment which touch the hearts of audiences. The director did not give a chance for any of these feelings. The film somehow stretched beyond the patience limits and finally ends with another twist. But again, the audiences did not feel that it as a twist and openly branded the film as flop.
