Interesting love story
Nee Sneham (TELUGU)
Cast: Udaykiran, Aarti Agarwal, Jatin, K. Vishwanath
Mus: R.P. Patnaik
Dir: Paruchuri Murali
THE FILM opens against the backdrop of a football game which helps build bonds between two friends, the captain Madhav (Udaykiran) and his co-player Seenu (Jatin). It so happens that in the game Seenu goes to the rescue of his friend Madhav and gets injured on one leg, resulting in his removal from the team. The friendship strengthens. Meanwhile, Madhav happens to notice Amrutha (Aarti), his college mate one day and falls in love with her. Amrutha treats him as a formal friend, but admires his game. He loves her immensely but never reveals his mind to her, fearing a negative response.
Her grandfather (K.Viswanath) is already in search of a bridegroom, who measures up to his expectations. There are other boys in the college who have an eye for Amrutha. Madhav becomes a kind of unannounced defender of Amrutha. The screenplay is so set that every good act of his gets wrongly interpreted.
Amrutha gains a wrong impression about him and starts detesting him. One day Amrutha picks up money from the bank meant for her brother-in-law's (Sivaji Raja) business. While returning home, a cyclist pulls the bag and escapes from the scene, but enters the football grounds. Madhav chases the thief and brings the bag back. He sends the money to Amrutha. There are many such instances. But Amrutha continues to mistake him. How Madhav wins Aarti forms the rest of the story.
It is a well-made film. But the narration lacks the needed momentum. The songs are well scripted and tuned. We watch a different Udaykiran in this film, playing a sober role. He emotes well. Aarti Agarwal is good in the balancing act. K.Viswanath offers a dignified performance as the grand old man. Sivaji Raja's villainy is mixed with comedy and is not a happy mix at all. The film, by and large, is interesting to watch.
