Story
In Brahmalokam, Brahma (Rajendra Prasad) has a small tiff with Saraswathi Devi (Kalyani) and he decrees that marriage has to be followed by death. In Bhulokam, Sreenu (Sivaji) a happy go lucky struggling to pass his degree chances upon Swetha (Sonia) and it is love at first sight. Meanwhile, Sreenu’s friend Sobhan Babu (Venu Madhav) does a penance to Brahma and wins his heart. Brahma gives a pot to Sobhan Babu and tells him to drink it, that will give the power to read anyone’s fate. However, a situation happens and Sreenu ends up drinking it. In no time, his life falls in place, he wins the heart of Swetha. However, Brahma realizes that this boon is causing trouble to the law of nature. He along with Yama (Jayaprakash Reddy) and Chitragupta (AVS) come to Bhulokam to retake the powers. Whether they are successful or not forms the rest of the story.Performances
Rajendra Prasad looks divine and he shows the serenity that is required. His screen presence also is impressive and many Rajendra Prasad fans were happy to see him on screen after a gap.Sivaji is a talented artist and he does full justice to his role. He must learn to work a bit on his dance and a positive body language. He is a deserving actor.
Sonia looks naturally seductive and more than that, it is her sensuous voice and a husky dialogue delivery that catches the attention. She has a lot of potential and must be given more offers.
Venu Madhav gave few smiles, Jayaprakash Reddy was apt, AVS was witty, Aarthi Agarwal looks alright, Kalyani and Laya were suitable, Raghu Babu could have been better, Kausha looks hot, the others did their bit as required.
Analysis
The film is basically a socio fantasy venture and the director also gave in few twists. The bright side of it is the dialogues and the visual effects that looked convincing. Background score was impressive, two songs were melodious, editing was neat. The presentation was good but the writing could have been catchy. Costumes, make up and art department were trendy. While there are elements of fun for the mass audience and few elements for the family as well, since the plot gets revealed, the story becomes predictable after a while. The romance track was weak so that could have been worked on. Overall, the film works in bit and pieces and given the twists, the audience is busy but due to the lack of depth in the content and a flavor which is predictable, the makers must push the film aggressively to get better response.Bottomline: Can be watched once
