Sarathi (Kishore) is a struggling writer who sets out to write a story about life. His daughter is diagnosed with cancer and he abandons his writing project, after failing to raise money needed for her treatment only to realize that he's merely playing his part in the metanarrative of life.
Movie Review: It's the kind of ambitious experiment that falls in the "this is so cool because it has never been done before in Telugu cinema" - as remarkable as it sounds even our best films rarely stand out for originality at the idea level or execution - category. To put it bluntly it's just another wannabe that's perhaps about a decade too late to harbor such sentiments.
There seems to be an inherent problem with these new age Tollywood films though. Invariably they end up being inferior adaptations of path breaking Hollywood films. This one is inspired by the multiple narrative genre, sets out to package eight different stories into one grand meta-narrative. The intentions just don't match up with the execution. Perhaps it's just a know how issue or it's akin to the birth pangs that a woman has to go through before delivering a beautiful baby...this one turns out to be a still born.
