Cast: Varun Sandesh, Sanchita Padukone, Catherine Tresa, Sayaji Shinde, Vennela KishoreDirection: NeelakanthaDuration: 2 hours 22 minutes
Story: Two college students Shyam (Varun) and Anshu (Sanchita) bond over an outdoor field trip and their friendship turns into love gradually and they get engaged. Shyam moves to Bangaloore for work and he gets close to his hot boss, Sunaina (Catherine). Anshu calls off the wedding despite Shyam's best efforts to make up.
Movie Review: It's another "realistic romantic caper" that cracks jokes about the predominant cliches of romance in Telugu cinema, despite having nothing new to offer - we're not counting the two debutante heroines and one padding artiste - in terms of content or packaging. But then, it would be a cliche to call a cliche, a cliche, wouldn't it? We're afraid that's what happens with this movie - the attitude just doesn't match up with the filmmaking.
The realism in this movie we're afraid is all a little too contrived. There is this liberal minded professor, Apparao, (Sayaji Shinde) who tries every trick in the book to get his students - Shyam and Varun - to fall in love, just to satisfy his ego. Well they eventually do, but only after our man gives up. Cupid strikes over two nights of star gazing under a full-moon-lit sky! It just isn't romance unless it's
