It is obvious, Srihari has now decided to stick only to action
drama to entertain his audience. He visited the theatres on
the opening day and greeted them. At Satyam theatre, he interacted
with the audience and the press. "How are my fights?"
he asked them. "Very good," they replied in chorus.
Then he inquired about dances, dialogue and so on. They chorused
the same answer.
This shows how the present day middle-aged stars and super
stars are concerned about their future and are anxious to
build rapport.
Veteran director Mohan Gandhi, known for purposeful social
films, tailor-made this to suit the image of the brawny hero,
Srihari. Srihari plays the title role of a well-meaning youth,
who aspires to become a journalist. Having lost his parents
in his childhood, he grows up with Subhash (Raja Ravindra)
and his sister Ramya (Pavani) under the care of their mother.
He joins a newspaper Terror, edited by freedom fighter Chandrakanth
(Nutan Prasad). As an inv8istigative journalist, Parasuram
opens his innings with 'busting of a women trafficking racket'.
He then exposes another racket of a pharmaceutical firm, belonging
to one. B.R. (short for Buchi Ramaiah, played by Sharad Saxena),
who claims he has all the politicians on his pay roll. B.R.
also runs a mafia network. His firm supplied spurious drugs
to a government medical depot and a child is the first victim,
which Parasuram exposes in his paper. This leads to a war,
with politicians and corrupt industrialist to one side and
Parasuram on the other.
In between a police SI, Vyjayanti (Sanghavi) falls in love
with this journalist. There are also a few comedy scenes featuring
a mentally challenged patient (Brahmanandam). Jayaprakash
Reddy plays Narasimham, a stooge of B.R.
Parasuram applies lawful methods to bring them to book, but
is outweighed and out played by influential forces. His brother
Subhash and sister Ramya are also killed. He has no other
option now but to wield a gun and eliminate them one by one.
It is a routine theme witnessed in different formats. It is
Srihari's film, with none having much display histrionically.
Sanghavi is a namesake SI and does nothing but join Srihari
in the song and dance routine. Nutan Prasad and Brahmanandam
are the only other artistes who vie for attention with their
histrionic excellence. Srilekha's music score has no relevance
to the screenplay.
