Story:
Neelima-Neelu(Aditi Sharma) fears that she too may fall in love like her sister so to avoid the Love proposals in the college she tells every one that she is in love with Rajesh(Some-X). Balraju(Uday Kiran) is a Village Boy who comes to the City to study Degree course and joins the same college. Balraju and Neelu fall in love ?? What happens next ? The smartness of the heroine leads to what sequences forms the rest of the story....



Performances:
Uday Kiran is good as Lover boy. Aditi (Mumbai Import) is o.k and suited well. Ajay, Dharmavarapu, surekha, venu madhav are o.k. The Music is very ordinary except a couple of Songs. The Production values are good. The screenplay in the first half was o.k., The direction is good in parts.


Analysis:
Uday Kiran has come up with good performance and given his best. He improved his dialogue delivery a lot. He should seriously think of weight reduction as he has put on a lot of weight. Aditi, she has done reasonably good job, her performance and expressions are good for a debutant. She appeared as if she has done 10 odd movies(She has done only one Hindi movie ‘Khanna and Iyyer’). Venu madhav's track was good in the beginning but became repetitive and boring as progressed.



The Director has taken a very small point and dragged it for more than two and half hours( Movie is bit lengthy). There are some Love Scenes which have come out well. Love stories need very very good Music but flick lacks that, the background score is good. The cinematography is not in the Standards. The editing is poor. A 15 minute trimming is needed. Some college Scenes have come out well with god fun but Some speeches and dialogues on Love have gone over board and irritates the Audiences. The love story feel has been missing.



Plus: Love Scenes, Performances

Minus: Weak second half, lack of entertainment.

Verdict: Average Love story can be
watched by College going youth for time pass, No harm if
missed.
