Gudipoodi Srihari Review

tell a friend

Deva and Dhanush are two names of the same person. For sometime he is a terrorist (Deva) and later he arrives as a college student (Dhanush) to reform the college politics. In between these two roles (played by Navveen Vadde), there is an accident that changes Deva into Dhanush, young man who does not remember his past. The latter role occupies good length of the film and hence the film earns this title.

The film takes off with Deva and his friend Anand arriving in the city to assassinate the State Home Minister. But in the chase the police vehicle and that of Deva's collide. Though Deva loses his memory he does not lose combat skills. But the sub inspector (Surya) goes into coma and is admitted to a hospital. Deva's combat skills attract the principal of a college (Kavita), who is facing lot of problems in her college, because of some goons. She wants this young man, whom she calls as Dhanush, to restore order in her college.

The college politics are so deep rooted that college elections always result in a murder. Now one Subba Rao is the choice of the principal, while Vicky (Rajiv Kanakala) wants to upset the whole election. He is the son of a rowdy - Narasimha (Jeeva). Dhanush takes charge of things of things and thrashes the rowdy elements. He also enrolls himself in college as a student. He keeps Vicky and his friends under check. Narasimha is jailed for his high-handed criminal behavior.

Meanwhile Dhanush starts loving Jyothi (Kiran Gill), the daughter of the principal. But Rambabu (Sivajiraja), brother of the principal also keeps an eye on her. He advises Jyothi not to love Dhanush, as nobody knows who Dhanush is. Overhearing this, Dhanush gets upset and prepares to leave. But the principal requests him to stay and promises to get her things stat changing quickly. Narasimha gets released and starts settling score with Dhanush. That is when Vicky's girl friend Mumtaz, who knew Deva, reveals who Dhanush really is. The police officer (Surya) in the hospital comes out of coma and is on the hunt again for terrorists. In the shoot out Deva regains memory. Whether Deva pursues his terrorist what the film deals with in the final part of the drama.

The script is very weak. Navveen fails to impress as Dhanush in the scenes where he has to show the difference between a normal man and one who has lost his memory. And the scenes that make him regain that faculty look farcical. The comedy track featuring Brahmanandam and Dharmavarapu Subramanyam is stale and repulsive. Debutante Kiran Gill, in the role of Jyoti, looks quite promising. Music and photography are better than the text of the film.
