Story:
A boring tale, the story begins with Kishore (srinivas) who is looking for a good love subject to prove his skills as a director. He chances upon a college lecturer Apparao (sayaji) and Apparao begins to share a love story at his college. This is between Shyam (varun) and Anshu (sanchita) and how Apparao is a cause for triggering love in them. College is over, they get engaged and Shyam gets job and moves to Bangalore. There he meets Sunaina (catherine) and what happens after that forms the rest of the story.

run Sandesh was disappointing and some places he looked very bad, he needs to work a lot on his acting quotient. Sanchita Padukone is a bad choice for heroine both in terms of looks and performance. The only saving grace for the film is Catherine Tresa, she was stunningly hot and very sexy. Vennela Kishore was outstanding. Srinivas Avasarala deserves more, he is a good talent. Sayaji Shinde was standard. Brahmaji was a misfit, Surekha Vani was sensuous as usual.

Conclusion:
Coming from a high caliber director like Neelekanta the expectation is high on this movie but then it doesn’t really have that kind of material to be entertained. The first half is very boring and it drains out the energy, some of the situations were silly. But the second half was total opposite and had some pondering moments, basically the audience were kept busy. Overall, this is a film which could have worked if the pace was good and the lead pair was someone else. At the box office, it would be a below average fare.

atozmusic verdict: Routine subject, could have been much better
