Story: It's a test for a boy to love a girl for his future and the girl to love the boy for hangama. Who succeeds?

Movie Review: Vivek Raj, who doubles as director and hero in his maiden venture, has selected a good story but fails to impress with poor script and amateurish narration. Vivek has a long way to go to prove his ability as director, as most of the sequences in this movie are absurd and do not add much to the story. It looks like the director-cum-hero has struggled to handle both the assignments with ease, which is evident from his acting too.

The story revolves around Raj (Vivek Raj), an ad agency executive, who is forced to love Geetha (Shubha Punja) as his boss (Avinash) wants him to understand the feelings of a girl for an ad project. But Geetha has a reason to love him; she wants to teach a lesson to boys who demean girls. The romance between them moves on without any interest, with song sequences in between. At one point, the audience is puzzled as to what the director wants to say as the story goes awry in the first part of the second half.

While Vivek can be good hero material with that extra effort, Shubha Punja should be careful in selecting her roles. The characters of Urvashi, Anant Nag and Avinash are completely wasted. Lyricist Kaviraj has some excellent poetic works for which Raj Kiran has scored some foot-tapping music. Camera by Chandrasekhar is average.
