Review:

It is quite unusually to see Tollywood hot girl Shriya Saran returning with a heroine oriented film ‘Pavitra,’ rather than coming with a big hero to ensure success. However, she is quite successfully handled the film. the writer turned director Janardhan Maharshi, who took an odd story has nicely managed it without falling in confusion.

What is pavitra All About ?

Pavithra (Shirya) in an unfortunate situation becomes a prostitute. She absorbed into that profession for the sake of her trust that extends help in bailing out those poor girls struck in the profession. Shiva (Shivaji) is a professional photographer. He lures the innocent girls, indulge in sexual acts and then blackmails them for money. Pavitra rescues an innocent girl, who fall prey to (Shivaji) and retrieves money from Shivaji. She also rescues other girls, who were blackmailed by him and succeeds in sending Shiva to jail.

Abhi (Kaushik) fall in love with Pavitra. His father a greedy MLA (Sai Kumar) nods for their marriage but plans to kill them to gain some political advantage. How Pavitra foils his conspiracy and get elected to the assembly forms rest of the story.

Artists Performances :

Shriya did a splendid job in this film. She shows a great ease in doing prostitute role and completely justified her role in the film. She has been projected from a totally different angle in this film. She looks terrific in her modern attire as well as in the sari. Shivaji, who played a negative role has delivered his best in the movie. Sai Kumar also did a good job. Brahmanandam and Ravi Babu’s talents left untapped in this movie. Tanikella Bharani, Yandamuri up to their mark but has no significance in the film.

Technical Aspects:

Though, the director Janardhan Maharshi took an unusual story for a come back after his ‘Devasthanam’ movie, he made it to near perfection. He narrates the story in a simple and effective manner without getting confused at any point. Since he is basically a story writer, he penned very crispy dialogues. Whatever the minor flaws seen in the film were well managed with gripping screen play. However, some more work in editing room would have made the film more crispy. Music by Sri Lekha is apt and enhance the mood of the story.

 Final word:

When, it was declared that Tollywood hot girl Shriya is doing prostitute role in this movie, the general belief of the pubic is that it is decorated with her hot skin shows and some vulgar content. But, surprisingly Janardhan Maharshi has made it in a quite decent style instead of trying to tap the sexual and vulgar angle of the story. However, the film makers ignorance to campaign about this point may keep the general audiences, especially family audiences keep away from the movie.
