The movie starts off with Nandu (Jr.NTR) being portrayed as a student who is a very light hearted and a care free person by nature. When he happens to see Akarsha (Samantha) on a rainy day, he falls head over heels for her and keeps trying to woo her before she finally falls for him. Samantha and Jr.NTR then go to Coorg for her sister’s engagement. There an attempt to murder Samantha’s father (Mukesh Rushi) fails.. And here comes the twist as Nandu instead of protecting Samantha’s father, kills him. It turns out that NTR is not who Samantha thought he was and comes here for an entirely different reason. The rest of the story will have us discovering Nandu’s shady past, of which Shruti Hassan is a crucial part.
This one man show concept is where the film falters a bit too, especially in the second half. The predictable narrative with sudden change in gears doesn’t look cohesive and drags as a result. Add to it some over violence, one almost reaches a messy stage mid way in second half. In the end the director tries to camouflage all that with twist but that doesn’t work as well as he has intended. Second half of movies have been a problem in all Harish Shankar movies so far, this one too doesn’t seem to be any different.
