Ordinary fare
Laya and Saikiran.
Entha Baavundo (TELUGU)
Cast: Saikiran, Laya, Vakkantham, Tanikella, AVS
Dir: Bharadwaj
THE TITLE misleads us into believing that it is an enjoyable fare. But, the movie is far from it. There are talented actors, young and old in important roles. The problem however, lies in the story line. The theme would have appealed better had it been dealt with seriousness.
The references to `pourohityam' in the film are in bad taste. Tanikella Bharani plays the role of a miser, who will do anything to save money. His house looks more like a mental asylum. The behaviour of Tanikella's brother in the film (played by AVS) also adds to this bizarre atmosphere. Akella's comical dialogues take a dig at this miserly behaviour. This is how the subject moves till the main topic of friendship and love figure.
Sriram (Saikiran) loves his college mate Swati (Laya). Surprised to find an identical girl, called Jyothi, as the maid at his house, Sriram wants to find out who she is. The story brings in Sita (Jhansi), Swathi's elder sister, a victim of the miserly man and his selfish son, Sankar (Vakkantham).
From then on, the film takes the route of teaching a lesson to the `selfish old' and the `greedy young' in the family.
Swathi becomes a `sutradharini' and enters the house as a maid to reform the family and teach them a lesson.
A girl called Rita and a policewoman (Kovai Sarla) play catalysts to open the miser's eyes. The narration is confused and lacks pace. Most of it is dialogue oriented.
1Saikiran and Laya get the major share of histrionic part, with veterans like Tanikella and AVS contributing to the lighter parts in the film. Jhansi and Vakkantham in brief roles leave their mark.
