This film has a message for the youth- not to commit suicide
if they fail in their exams or get less percentage of marks.
Tarak (Tarak ratna) takes up this mission as he had a bitter
experience in his life, when his sister did the same. Tarak
is an engineering graduate, but has an ambition to write about
problems of youth. He does not want revel his name. He joins
a newspaper named Punya Bhommi being run by one Jagdish Prasad
(Krishna). Jagdish is thrilled at Tarak's reporting on youth
problems, under the fictitious name of 'Taarak'. Tarak rejoins
college again to study the problems of the student community.
His weekly column becomes immensely popular and the circulation
of the paper goes up. This irritates the proprietor of rival
daily, JP (Jaya Prakash Reddy). So he wants to recruit 'Taarak'
in his paper. But fails to find out the identity of Taarak.
Unfortunately, this sub-plot is not given a proper finish.
There
is a separate love track as well. Tharak loves Varsha (Sharmili).
Once he realizes she is the daughter of his newspaper boss
Jagdish Prasad he distance himself. But Varsha fails to understand
his behavior. She gives an ultimatum in the form of a newspaper
advertisement, that she will disappear from this world if
he does not turn up at the college football stadium, where
a football final is being held. Tarak notice the advertisement
rather late. He rushes to the scene but faces all kinds of
cinematic problems like police arresting him for violating
rules. At the football stadium Varsha requests the match referee
to delay the game.
Does
Tarak arrive? Thus the story is two-pronged - one narrating
the love story of Tarak and another showing him as a journalist.
Both these tracks suffer due to lack of a cohesive story line
and professional touch.
There
are the usual scenes of college ragging and Varsha chasing
Tarak just to pick up a telephone number that she wrote on
his palm and Tarak going to the rescues of tenth class student
trying to commit suicide. Another scene shows Tarak reprimanding
a college lecturer (Benarji) attempting to rape a college
student. These and many more scenes are designed only to make
the heroine admire Tarak. Shalini, who plays this role, looks
chubby and is quite dull - performance wise, sporting blank
looks now and then.
The film has a vague story line and appears to have been influenced
by a Hollywood movie. The characters are not well supported
by dialogue. Tarak Ratna is a shade better and confident than
what he looked in his earlier two films.
