 About Our Rating  Storyline: Neelakanta (Prakash Raj) is a village head, his elder daughter Subba Laxmi (Poonam Bajwa) elopes with a guy called Babu by fleeing from arranged marriage. Neelakanta, his brothers and relatives try to search them by questioning Babu’s friends in the village and out side. Krishna (Allu Arjun) is one of the friends list, along with Sunil, Srinivasa Reddy and other two. Neelakanta henchmen kidnap Krishna, and bring him to the village. All suspected friends were put in a store room in Neelakanta’s house and questioned for the information of eloped couple. During this time Krishna falls in love with a girl in the same village. After some time he comes to know that the girls is none other than Neelakanta's second daughter Meena (Sheela). How Neelakanta finds his elder daughter and how Krishna wins his love forms the rest of the story.  Casting Performances:Allu Arjun justified his happy-go-lucky guy role, he got a chance to do perform serious scenes in this film. Prakash Raj excelled in father role, his performance in drunken scene with Allu Arjun expressing his agony for the eloped daughter is good. Sheela scored well in the second daughter role. Jayasudha as usual performed with ease in mother role. Subbaraju got a decent role as brother of Prakash Raj. Poonam Bajwa did the guest role and got limited scenes to perform. The friends gang Sunil, Srinivasa Reddy, Chitram Srinu with other two created laughter in the first half. The geek friend 'Yogendra Sharma' and his 'Ippudu mana position emti Sir?' question bits are side-splitting. Ali did a small but important scene with comedy touch.  TECHNICAL ASPECTSStory - Screenplay & Direction: Bhaskar continued his debut blockbuster movie Bommarillu concept of father-kids relation. Bommarillu deals with father-son relation, Parugu deals with father-daughter relation. He dealt with the story nicely in the first half, but the finish in second half didn’t match well with the story. But he extracted the good performances from his artists. Mani Sharam music for songs is OK, but background score is great. Camera work by Vijay K Chakravarthy is great, ‘Vasthunna.. Vasthunna..’ song was canned very well.  Analysis:First half is entertaining with full of comedy scenes and enough serious moments. In the second half the pace goes down. The climax is not handled correctly, it is unclear to determine whom the director wants to show as victims in the love marriages against parent wishes. The family audience will definitely like this clean entertainer. Related Links: Movie Gallery USA Schedules Audio Release Working Stills |
