More than entertaining this is
amusing. Amusing that one could hold on for 142 minutes a story less narration
with actors who do not deliver, jokes that fall flat or are over the roof and a
comedy with a consistent tragic sense of humour that tests your intelligence.
Every ‘f’’ has his own set of admirers and this “film star” – Sunil too has and
thus the initial draw. It is now however clear that the reverse metamorphosis –
from butter fly to caterpillar is a choice gone adventurous. That effort of
some degree has gone into this product is inexplicable and beyond human
reasoning. To me it appears that the film maker (Vamsi Krishna) armed with the
dates of Sunil and a Chopra sibling and motley group of comedians decided to go
ahead with a film and every day on the set he went about collecting one liners
and built his tale around it. Only if it is a design to insult a moron’s
intelligence is it justified. It there be any other intent it is lost in the
quagmire.
Dad (Nagineedu) is a school teacher who leaves a lasting impression on his
student come son Ganesh that gratitude must be eternal. He understands this as
eternal and excessive. So he goes about overdoing his thanks giving. As a kid
he treats a kid to candy sticks so much that he lands up in hospital. He grows
up with the same weakness. The little guy is now grown up and in the big bad
world as Ganesh (Sunil) who confessedly would believe: commit ayate limit
undadu. He is out there to save Bairagi (Kabir Duhan Singh) – himself a terror
in the city. He ends up falling in love with Bairagi’s sister Sahasra (Manara
Chopra). As he goes about wooing her, the script(!) catches up with Kung Fu
master (Saptagiri – who seems to have lost it), small time goonda (Raghu and
Prabhas Seenu). For a side kick he has Chitram Srinu. Though a terror Bairagi
is in hiding under the umbrage of Nallu Swami (Satyaraj). Sahasra decides to
learn Kung Fu from the master to avenge an insulting eve teaser and gives him a
month’s time for her self-declared vendetta.
Enter Inspector Katappa (Pridhvi) who in yet another extended screen presence
is out there to arrest Bairagi but is constantly saved by Ganesh. The twist in
the tale – as lame as the tale is as to why Ganesh is bent upon saving Bairagi
from the police and his enemies and rival gang leader (Raghava Uday).
This is a few inches further into the abyss. To be fair to the film maker he
delivers what he promises – which is nothing. The entire outing is a painful
exercise. It is just a whole set of jokes put together to make you laugh till
you realise the joke is on you.
