Forgettable flick
GUEST APPEARANCE: Fans of Uday Kiran are bound to be disappointed.
Jodie No. 1 (TELUGU)
Cast: Uday Kiran, Venya Mus: Vandemataram Srinivas
Dir: Pratani Ramakrishna Gowd
THOSE WHO are drawn to the theatre, attracted by the name of Uday Kiran feel greatly disappointed, as his presence on the screen is limited to only a few reels. He plays Gautam who comes to Hyderabad to join a computer institute. And the film opens with an irrelevant song number featuring him and a group, supposed to be students. Gautam and his friend Bablu move into a house owned by one Ramana, as paying guests. Gautam meets Anju (Venya) and teams up with her at the computer institute to do a programme. And their pair is called `Jodie No.1' While Gautam falls in love with Anju, she remains indifferent. Meanwhile, Gautam finds out that Anju's pen friend Pinky is planning to visit her. His well-wisher and landlord Ramana asks him to grab this opportunity. Thus Gautam arrives in a female garb impersonating as Pinky. With a heavy hairdo, and garish make-up Uday Kiran looks repulsive in this get-up. Worse is the scene when his secret is out!!
An angry Anju sulks for a while but gives in finally.
The cast is full of newcomers and performances are terribly amateurish. Uday Kiran is the only known name and saving grace. The dances and songs bear no relevance at all to the drama. Music composer Vandemataram uses folk tunes mostly for his work. Thematically and technically too, it is a disappointing film.
