                    The film boasts about '90 per cent close-up shots' and 'four 
                    State Government Nandi Awards', given almost a decade ago. 
                    But the delay in its release harmed the film to a great extent. 
                    The film has been given an 'A-certificate '  
                    The subject and the style of narration raise quite a few eyebrows. 
                    Besides, the film lasts only 100 minutes. The theme gets suck 
                    in a single point of how a teenage rape victim suffers depression, 
                    even when she has the moral support of her father and the 
                    young man who loves her. The visuals of her mental trauma 
                    get alternated with her verbal exchanges with her father and 
                    her lover. These are the only three characters in the film. 
                    There are of course two- three more characters including the 
                    rapist, hazily shown in a flashback, and Jayalalitha in a 
                    small role.   
                    Maya (Girija) is a film journalist. She meets a 'rising star' 
                    of Telugu cinema. Anand (Sanjay Mitra). What transpires between 
                    them in the three-dialogue interview is exchanging of opinion 
                    on love, marriage and romance. Anand expresses his love for 
                    her and it leads into a conflict within Maya who struggles 
                    to deal with her traumatic past and face the present. Encouraged 
                    by father, emotional bouts cause unease in Anand. But he tries 
                    to understand and support her.  
                    The film continues on a tiring level duly earning negative 
                    reaction from the audience.   
                    Some were found commenting, "Who gave Nandi award to 
                    this film"?  
                    Playback by Jesudas, S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and L. Vaidyanathan's 
                    music are the only assets to the film. Madhu Ambat's photographic 
                    skills are on display in these much-publicized close-ups.
