Story
Shriya with no other avenues to earn becomes a prostitute to save her mother who was ailing from a disease that was life threatening. After taking up debauching as her profession she encounters varieties of paramour- politicians, swamis and a photographer lover boy who exploits models among them. A twist in the story comes when the son of the politician who was sent to Shriya on a political purpose falls flat in love with Shriya and whether he marries her and whether Shriya succeeds in her endeavor after entering politics is something to be seen on the screen.
Analysis :
Dialogues are powerful as expected from Janardan Maharshi and equally powerful delivery by Sai Kumar as it can be expected from a 'Dialogue King'. Shriya’s action is good enough for the theme role she enacted. Brahmanandam’s role is good but not as humorous as it should be compared to other movies. Although some scenes like dialogue between Shriya and Shivaji were dull, over all movies is successful in conveying the message that is useful to the society with adequate entertainment embedded in the story telling.
Performance :
Shriya acted very well and supporting actors did their share of justice to the story. Barring some dull scenes the movie ran smoothly with good dialogues and humor particularly when Shriya contests for the elections and concluding part is good. The scenes of Shriya’s love making as a professional were shown in black and white to reduce its intensity as an experiment that did go well. The compelling incidents to make Shriya as a prostitute are convincingly told.
Final Word: A must see movie not for the skin show of Shriya but for the story with a good message. Shriya's glamour of course is a bonus.
