Story
A tale of two couples, the story begins with Gautham (Sharwa), a random guy who is approached by Amrutha (Ananya) for a help. She comes from a small town to Hyderabad and has to go for an interview. She takes the help of Gautham for getting to the location but has several innocent suspicions on him. By the time the interview is over Amrutha starts liking Gautham but she doesn’t even know his name or anything. On the other hand, there is Krishnakanth (Jai), a shy guy who is in love with nurse Madhumita (Anjali). Unlike his nature, Madhumita is more tough, outgoing and assertive. However, she also likes Krishnakanth and eventually they start going around.
Krishnakanth decides to take Madhumita to his hometown and takes the Hyderabad- Vijayawada bus. At the same time, Amrutha who is unable to forget Gautham takes a bus going from Vijayawada – Hyderabad in the hope of seeing him again. What Amrutha doesn’t know is Gautham takes the same bus as Krishna-Madhumita to get in touch with Amrutha. The story takes a turn when both the buses meet with an accident. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
Sharwanand is a class actor. Despite being given a regular character, he essays it with apt conviction and possesses a strong screen presence. He must be seen more on screen.
Ananya comes up with a cute performance. She is not much of a pretty girl but has that typical innocent looks and carries her role with good quality. Overall, she did a decent job.
Jai has got into his role very nicely and his body language and face in the crowd appearance will strike a chord with the viewers. He underplays his character to the right level.
Anjali is the showstealer. She has a strong homely sex appeal and good versatility in her expressions. Most of the times, it is her eyes that do the talking and her dubbing was suitable.
Highlights:
* Screenplay
* Canning of the bus collision
* Music and RR
* Performances from lead cast
* Storyline
* Sharwa’s dialogue about Hyderabad
Drawbacks:
* Lengthy climax
* Harsh dose of reality
* Nativity element missing to an extent
Final Analysis:
Whenever a Tamil film comes to Telugu in dubbed format, the difference is quite visible.
For starters, the Tamil films are filled with more of daily life characters, their protagonists are regular faces in the crowd sans glamour, the depiction of each scene is done with strong narrative and realism. This is the feel which comes to the viewer from the moment the film starts.
However, it is not just about the nativity or the romance between the lead pairs, it is the underlying realities of life and the backdrop of the film that many will connect to.
Though the subject is simple, the director has elevated the emotion to a high extent purely by his screenplay and extracting good performances. The film also gives a message on how life can take a turn at any point and why one must share love with his/her dear one.
Overall, the film has been made with good sensibilities, a practical touch and above all, cost effective budget.
On the flip side, the Telugu audience is not used to such realistic treats so it remains to be seen how they can handle this.
At the box office, the film has all prospects of scoring a commercial hit and if the audience also connects, then the chances of success grow stronger.

Panjaa movie review
Rating: 2/5
It is
A film in the vouge of aiming for the openings rather than making something of
real quality.
Plot
The supposedly technically sound director made it a point to rope in some of the
best technicians of the country, but, how come our makers are least bothered
about what these technicians are going to work on. The thing on paper, the screenplay
- without which there has never been a good film.
Jai (Pawan Kalyan) is the right hand man of Calcutta's biggest mobster (Bhagvan played by Jackie Shroff). Jai is ever devoted to his boss for a deed he had done sometime in the past. The character that drives the plot and brings in the conflict is Bhagvan's son (Munna), an instinctively arrogant and trigger happy fellow. Munna's unrestrained behavior pushes Jai to turn against his own boss.
The film seems like a mere switch of halves of Pawan's previous gangster flick (Balu).
What's good?
PS Vinod's visuals and Sreekar Prasad's cuts are the only things that distinguish this
from any other Telugu film where everything is plain ordinary.
Why is the film a bore?
Like said already, the film's got a weak plot line and insufficient scene detailing.
Quite a few scenes seem like they are almost left to be poorly improvised by the actors.
Our films have taken the concept of cinematic liberty and pushed its boundaries
until it seems like absolute idiotism (seems to work just fine for all those whose
only concern is the star on screen). Somehow other films where the hero gets
to kill hundreds with his bare hands seemed better than the idea of one man
cleaning up hundreds of machine gun equipped goons with his two 9mm's.
The real bore however are the forced episodes with the girl and the village
chapters with the hit and miss humor.
Actors
Pawan gives us his usual act, nothing much changes because of the
beard and the blazers.
Two new girls and nothing new to look forward to.
The real downside amongst the cast is Jackie Shroff and the actor playing
his son. They do seem like a real father and son, both are equally unbereable.
Verdict
Our industry with its abundant resources at hand can do much better.
We just deny to and have come to terms with the abundance of mediocrity.
For all those still enjoying the abundance, don't miss this.
Rating: 2/5
