Story

River Godavari breaches and enters a small village in Godavari district where Malli (Aadi) and Chitra (Manchu Lakshmi) get married. Malli and Chitra while running for survival latches on to a grass stack.

Both who were unknown to each other prior to marriage start interacting and in the process reveals their own past. While Malli narrates how Sarala (Tapsee), his boss daughter harassed him, Chitra narrates her own story on how Dorababu (Ravibabu) troubled her. As the flood water flows ferociously they get separated drowning in the water. Whether they survive and get united has to be seen on silver screen.

Performance

Manchu Lakshmi performed in a beautiful manner as a village belly. Tapsee though confined to first half spellbound all with her glamor and she is ok in acting. While Aadi is OK, Sandeep is a mismatch to Manchu Lakshmi. His acting is also not up to the mart.

Technical

Kumar Nagendra on debut chose a good storyline but his screenplay is not attractive. Though he tried for novelty it did not fructify on screen. Lack of entertainment undid the film and since Ilayaraja got little time to compose music, except for one or two songs, others are below his standard. Cinematography is ok. Film goes on snails pace.

Manchu Lakshmi's acting

Minus points

Final

Since the film came during exam time, its survival in theaters is also doubtful.
