Critic's Rating:  
Cast: Kranthi, Simer Motwani, Roopa Kaur
Direction: Hemanth
Genre: Romance
Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes
Avg Readers Rating: 
Rishi loves Padmavathi. She drives him crazy. He drives us nuts. Padmavathi's only fault for Rishi being so madly in love with him is that she once goes out of her way to save his life in an accident. He cannot forget her. And she does not allow him to get anywhere near her. Will Rishi's love as pure as the 91.6 per cent 22 carat gold triumph?

Son of a businessman, Rishi (Kranthi) would rather marry a prostitute from the village than get entangled with any girl from the city. He does love her but shudders at the prospect of having to play dad to a baby he did not sire. But marrying a girl from the village is still at the back of his mind.

He drinks and drives and meets with an accident. That's when Padmavathi (Simer Motwani), a village girl goes out of her way to help him recuperate. She would rather go her way but Rishi wants to marry her. The girl is simply not interested. Rishi cannot take no for an answer. The rest of the film is about what he turns into because of his obsession with her.

Trying to trace the girl, Rishi becomes miserable and beggarly. If being in love turns someone into a dirty looking and filthy creature, one cannot help but shudder at the prospect of even having to mention the word love. So mad is he after Padmavathi that after a certain point of time in the movie, one becomes allergic to the name. One man's food is certainly another man's poison.

There are scenes that are absurd. And more scenes which are more than absurd. Rishi vexes you with his love. At one time when she traces the girl, he forces a spear to be pierced from his stomach out. No one would survive that. Director Hemanth ensured he did. No one can physically remove the biological heart to be given to his lady love. Director Hemanth made Rishi do just that.

How dare one question the director's talent? You don't like it, don't watch it.

Story

Dipak(Navdeep) an aspiring director approach Genious Murthy(Brahmanandam) TV channel head with a unique ad concept. However Murthy okays his concept with a condition that he shoots the ad on his PA. Dipak with much after thought and prodding from his team agrees to Murthy's condtion and selects a lonely bunglow for his shooting purpose for seven days speaking to the watchman of the house.

While he reluctantly shoots the ad, Mythri(Sada) owner of the house comes arrives much to the surprise to settle the property dealings before flying to US once again. Dipak convices Mythri to shoot for his ad and during the inmates experiences unique happenings in the house along with a murder attempt on Mythri.

What is the mystery behind the mysterious happenings should be found out on sliver screen.

Performance

Navdeep and Sada's roles don't have much scope for performance. Sada looked good in two songs.Brahmanandam tried to bring some smiles. Kallu Chidambaram, Uttej,"Chitram" Seenu,Suman Setty, Satyam Rajesh and others peformed according to their roles.

Analysis

Director Surya Raju prepared a good script and he should be first credited for maintaining the suspense part in the film till the final few minutes. Had he sketched some performances oriented roles for the lead pair, film would have been on different platter. Romance and climax scenes are not elevated convincingly. Though suspense is maintained till the end, there is no convincing reason for attacks on Mythri. Songs acted as speed breakers while Uttej's dialogues on film industry though good was washed away in his drunken concept.

Technicals

Production values are ok. Music by Vikas is fine and stands out in two songs, one saree song showcasing the Indian tradition. Selva Kumar's cinematography is ok and editing by Vinay is average. Had directed finetuned the storyline, it could have caught the attention of movie lovers with mouth talk.

Final Talk

Mythri keeps movie lovers glued to screens till a point before loosening its noose like grip.
