What’s the Story?
Event organizer Harsh (Harsha Narra), software engineer Rahul (Sandeep Saroj), RJ Surya (Tarun), and Vicky (Supraj Ranga) have been close friends since childhood, sharing the same room and living together joyfully. Vicky, however, lives off his friends without engaging in any work. Their peaceful life takes a turn when four girls enter the scene. Divya (Nuvveksha) pairs up with RJ Surya, Sonia (Khushboo Choudhary) with Harsh, Shweta (Meghalekha) with Vicky, and Priya (Thakur) with Rahul. How do these relationships transform their lives? What challenges do they face due to these romantic entanglements? Why do they end up breaking up? What realization do these young men come to after their breakups? To know, one must watch the movie.
Performance Analysis
Despite being mostly newcomers, everyone in this film has performed their roles admirably. Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, Tarun, and Supraj Ranga, as the lead actors, have captivated the audience with their unique acting skills. Vicky’s character, in particular, is memorable. The four leading ladies have also charmed the viewers thoroughly. The entire movie revolves around these four couples, while the supporting cast has done justice to their roles.
Direction
Director Vikram Reddy has shaped this film around the concept of how the lives of four young men change after four young women enter their world. While the themes of friendship, love, and breakups have been explored in many films before, the director has managed to present these in a fresh way. The portrayal of four distinct love stories in one frame has worked well. The director successfully highlights the contemporary youth’s challenges in love and their thoughts on marriage, extracting excellent performances from the cast, despite their inexperience. However, some scenes might feel repetitive, and the lack of a star cast and commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks.
Technically Speaking
On the technical front, all departments have performed well. The background score by Sunny MR, Harshavardhan Rameshwar, and RR Dhruvan has added a significant plus to the movie. The songs, fitting well with the contexts, are appealing. The cinematography is good, with visuals appearing fresh. Editing is adequate, and the production values are commendable.
