After a very long time, Tollywood has seen a movie that cannot be a called a movie.It’s an adventure. It’s the new culture. It’s the best story line with classic narration. The honesty in presentation is seen in every aspect. It’s a true love story brought on to celluloid with most convincing and realistic screenplay.

You will be disappointed if you are looking for routine fights/songs and comedy. They are zero in this flick. Naga Chaintanya shows his boxing talent in a scene and that cannot be called a cinematic fight at all. It is very simple story between 2 lovers. You cannot find any twists and you don't feel like getting bored at any instance.

It’s a wonderful feast for the eyes as Goutam Menon has chosen the choicest locations of Kerala ..be it churches or greenery or lakes or boats. Camera work being the main USP in his films that enchanted as usual. Manoj Paramahansa was behind the camera this time.

It’s the story of a young man Kartik (Naga Chaitanya) whose aim is to become a film director. But his father negates the idea and asks him to look out for a job. But Kartik is determined and goes only with his aspiration. In the process he finds Jessie (Samanta) a Christian girl. She walks into his life unknowingly. She lives in the same compound where Kartik’s parents also live. Jessie too attracts for him. But how Hindu-Christian factor becomes a barrier for them? And how they answer it forms rest of the theme.

The movie has many tender situations those touch the hearts of audiences

Kartik goes irresistible and kisses Samanta in a railway compartment breaking his promise. He says ‘sorry’ tenderly to her. She too expresses the same. The scene is made truly from heart.

The scene in second half when Kartik comes to meet Samanta at midnight expressing love for each other with hugs in the balcony, cannot be conceived so easily without personal experiences to wither writer or director.

Actress Samanta has got the features those perfectly fit in for this role. Naga Chaitanya is good and the perfect hero who fits into this role.

This feel good film is a must watch especially for those fond of love stories.
