Gudipoodi Srihari Review

Yet another love story from Usha Kiron Movies. The script is poor with routine situations. Venu and Shama make a team in the sluggish first half. And Malavika replaces Shama in the second half. There is imbalance between the volume of the dialogue and the musical score in the background.

Besides, the dubbing part too does not maintain perfect balance of voices in combination shots. This was particularly noticed between the characters of Chandramohan and Annapurna. Ganesh is given the change of comedy part and is poorly etched. He's constantly on the lookout for girls to woo. And he's also the friend and guide of the hero Surya (Venu)

The initial part brings Surya nearer to Girija (Shama). The element that binds them is Girija's poetry and Surya's song. Surya starts admiring a poet named 'Giri', whom he thinks is a man.

A letter he writes to 'him' convinces 'her' to reveal that she is not 'he', but 'she'. They fix 'Shilparamam' as their rendezvous. But she is greeted with her song rendered by her fan at a lottery function. That is the beginning of their love. And, perhaps, also the end, as the respective fathers of the two, fight over an issue during the betrothal session between these two, not knowing they are lovers.

The culprit in this issue is Surya's paternal uncle (Tanikella Bharani), who is aware of this love affair and spoils this, thinking Surya's father (Chalapati Rao) is thrusting another girl on his son. The betrothal is called off. Both Surya and Girija are upset.

Surya's father fixes his marriage, this time, with another girl named Pooja (Malavika), daughter of his friend (Chandramohan). But Pooja is already in love with another man Kiran (Sivaji).

The rest of the drama shows how Surya and Pooja join hands to debunk their respective parents and marry their own choices.

But all does not go well. For poetess Girija, the news that Surya's marriage is fixed with Pooja, is disturbing. She waves a wedding card with the photographs of Surya and Pooja, already printed, and calls the proposal off, calling him a cheat.

What happens to the relationship of the rest of the three people left in the ring -Surya, Pooja, and Kiran - forms the rest of the story.

Venu performs with ease. Shama does not impress at all. Her looks and poetry never match. So is the way Surya bursting into a song at a lottery function.

The scenic connection for this rendition is poor. He gets on to the stage to receive lottery money and is asked by manager there to sing a song. He obliges abruptly. But the song is melodious.

Delhi Rajeswari, Chandramohan, Chalapati Rao are okay. The dialogue is generally stale.
