Poramboku of a film!
Poramboku means useless, and this was aptly explained in the film by dialogues of the hero's father and as the film progresses we understand the poramboku qualities in the movie. There is nothing to rave about this film. None of the departments justified their roles including the experienced comedians looked like amateurs.
Does Navadeep has the knack of picking up the films that has no substance or the directors who plan to make sub-standard films choose Navadeep has hero? Whatever is right the result is nothing but a film like Poramboku. The director didn't have any story to build upon, the actors had nothing to contribute, and the heroine was a disaster adding to all these even Mani Sarma gave them a mediocre stuff to be happy about. To sum it up; this film you can let it go!
The story
Navadeep is a 'poramboku' villager, but like any other hero he too has an ambition in his life: to become a cinema hero. His father Dharmavarapu Subramaniam is always scolding him and asking him to behave like a normal human being. Though he does all cheap things, he manages to get a letter from a film institute in Hyderabad asking him to join the course to become a hero. Navadeep is interested but his father wouldn’t give him Rs one lakh to join the institute. His friends Suman Shetty and Rajesh try to help him to get money, but they fail.
At this juncture we have the heroine – Ektha Khosla – entering the village claiming to be a TV journalist. Right from her entry we know that she is not a TV journalist but has a different background. The background (which we expect, at least that would be interesting) is nothing but her aunt is behind her money and she would like her brother to marry Ektha so that she gets to enjoy all the assets that are in Ektha's name.
Meanwhile, Navadeep gathers some money by helping the heroine in the village and the rest his sister gives. He leaves the village to become film hero. While he is about to leave, in the railway station, a young boy comes and offers his savings to help our hero realize his dreams. But the foolish part is: The hero who takes the jewelry of his sister and savings of a young boy travels from his village to Hyderabad only in First Class AC!
Then the story is about how he fights hard to become a hero, which he does and how he saves his girl friend from the clutches of witch aunt.
The Analysis
Even as the director tries to picturise this weak story he brings in various comedians to play some cheap tricks in episodic manner. None of the dialogues make you smile, leave alone laugh. Wonder what makes our senior artistes like Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu, Ali, Senthil (Tamil film senior comedian), and etc act in this film.
Navadeep as an actor is a failure and maybe it is not very late for him to shift career. Ektha Khosla who debuted in this movie will not be a lady who will get any further offers though she is ready to shed out her clothes. Not only these two none of them took this film seriously and they all played their roles very badly.
Srinivas as a director of this film was not loss over his own subject and filming pattern. Maybe for his next films (if at all he does any more) he should do much more home work and develop a strong script to develop it into a movie.
