Senior actor Prithviraj introduces his daughter Srilu to the silver screen. The film under review has been made by Sri PR Creations banner. Its songs, teaser and trailer were released before its theatrical release. Here is our review of the movie:

Story:

Prithvi is a film director. He convinces a producer by narrating a story and takes a bus to a farm house for filming it with a new team of cast and crew.

Srilu is the heroine of the movie, while Kranti Krishna is the hero. A man named Guruvayya is the manager of the farm house. When he sees Srilu, he is reminded of his own daughter. The participants in the shoot grow suspicious that there is something in that house. When the heroine Srilu is engaged in her work, she behaves strangely as if someone has possessed her.

On the other hand, Guruvayya makes a deal with a ganja smuggler and kills the policemen who get in the way. Meanwhile, hero Kranti Krishna falls in love with Srilu. Guruvayya doesn't like that. Director Prithvi goes to a guru to find out what the fuss is all about. Is there a haunting spirit in the house? Whose ghost is it? Who is Srilu? What did Kranti Krishna do to stop the smuggling of ganja? What is the background of Kranti Krishna? Why is Guruvayya so affectionate toward Srilu? These answers are revealed as the story progresses.

Analysis:

The premise has been used to generate excellent comedy. The situations the film deals with are rare. While comedy dominates the first half, some scenes are also thought-provoking. The character of Thalapulamma is intriguing. There is a suspicion that there is a relationship between her and Srilu. Everything is justified through multiple twists.

The hero-driven twist in the second half is impressive. There are loads of reasons why emotions work. The scenes stick throughout.

Performances:

Srilu is natural and performs with conviction. Judging by his performance, this is definitely her best debut film. It has been made smooth by her talent. The second character Talapulamma has been performed with charm. This modern girl has also done very well. It is not a common thing to make a character with two shades in the first film. Acting is in her blood so acting is very easy for Srilu. Her eyes and smile are also very good.

Kranti Krishna, who played the hero, scored good marks in terms of acting. The director handles the scenes pretty well.

Technical Departments:

Director Prithviraj shows talent. He designs the scenes so well. He brings his years of experience as an artist to the fore. Thanks to his experience, he completes the film on a low budget. Cinematographer SV Siva Reddy does it without compromises.

As an editor, Ramakrishna Erram displays ambition. The first half could have been tighter. Sangeet Aditya, who provided the music, impressed the audience. The songs are also very good. Also the production values are good. Most of the movie takes place in the farm house itself. However, the cost is visible in every frame.

Plus Points:

1. Story
2. Direction
3. Heroine
4. Timing
5. Comedy
6. Music
