Love in the air


DEVOID OF COLOURS: Uday Kiran and Richa Pallod.

Holi - colours of love (TELUGU)

Cast: Uday Kiran, Richa Pallod

Music: R.P. Patnaik

Dir: S.V.N.Varaprasad

THIS IS another love story, but for a change deals with responsible love and happy ending.

The parents of the young man Kiran (Uday Kiran), all the while encourage him to get the girl Sandhya (Richa) he loves. Kiran proposes to her during Holi festivities, and Sandhya suggests that his parents should speak to her parents.

A computer institute, run by Giribabu, friend of Sandhya's father (Chalapati Rao), serves the breeding ground of love.

The film opens with Kiran's parents - Chandra Mohan and Kavita - celebrating Valentine's Day, followed by lot of love flowing from every scene. Kiran-Sandhya's romance begins during a bus journey but her father arranges her marriage with another man. On her wedding day, when Kiran offers to take her away from there, Sandhya expresses her helplessness.

But as the `muhurtham' time draws close, she becomes bold and takes a decision. The climax is poorly etched.

The fight scenes and comedy bear no relevance to the theme. Sunil is the main sidekick of Kiran, among his half-a-dozen other friends.

Uday Kiran and Richa get stereotyped roles. The pair, most of the time, keep staring at each other.

Chandra Mohan and Kavita play the love crazy parents of Kiran, while Chalapati Rao looks more dignified.

Music is partly situational, with folk touch. Dialogue lacks the spirit of the subject. Most of it is mechanical and bland.

G.S.
