Welcome Obamma Telugu Movie review

Cast: Sanjeev, Urmila, Rachel
Direction: Singeetham Srinivas
Genre: Drama
Story: Lucy (Rachel), a US citizen, comes to India looking for a surrogate mother to bear her a child. She lands a deal with Yashoda (Urmila), an impoverished single mother. Yashoda suffers from a complication and Lucy revokes the contract and flies back home, only to return years later to reclaim the baby.
Movie Review: To begin with, the movie has nothing to do with the American President, Barrack Obama. Telugu cinema titles generally have very little to do with the movies and this one's no different. Well, there is a character called Obama (though he isn't even brown skinned) - a kid born to surrogate mother (Yashoda), who decides to keep the child despite his intended mother (Lucy) insisting on having an abortion. Why? Because Tashoda has an accidental fall when pregnant and the doctors conjecture that there is a rick of baby being deformed. However, the baby boy proves the doctors predicament wrong by coming out healthy and Yashoda names him Krishna. But the villagers nickname him Obama, because well he's looks American. Phew!
The conflict point this movie espouses is even more contrived. When Lucy (intended/social mother) returns to reclaim the son, (years after she abandoned him), Yashoda gets all teary eyed. Who has more right over a surrogate baby? The film goes on to offer an emotionally charged discourse on intended mother vs surrogate mother theme.
