Story
Set on the backdrop of the Godavari floods which happened in 1986, the story begins with Malli (Aadhi) and Chitra (Lakshmi) who get married. Just as the floodwater begins to pour in, everyone goes around to save their lives including these two.
This brings them to know about each other’s past as Sarala (Taapsee) a big man’s daughter comes and gives a gold ring to Malli whereas Dora Babu (Ravi Babu) comes and gifts gold chain to Chitra.
While Malli reveals his connection with Sarala, Chitra reveals about her link with Dora Babu and Suri (Sundeep) the person she loved. What happens in that forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Aadhi has intensity in him which cannot be missed and he is a good fit to the role of a fisherman. With the right kind of choices, he has the potential to become a tough mass/action hero.
Lakshmi Manchu has done a committed job and her efforts to get the Godavari slang are appreciable. She has a good smile which she could use more often to spread a good charm.
Sundeep Kishan was good. He got into the character with ease and performed as per the requirement. He is a promising lad.
Taapsee was wild, rustic and natively sexy. Her role might come across as a shocker and she has carried with effectiveness. She has also cut down her weight making her look different.
Ravi Babu was apt, Ramesh was upto the mark, Annapurna was standard, Suja Varunee was raunchy, good to see Mumaith back, the others didn’t have much.
