T Trivikrama
Rao started a project with the best combination. The team of Kalisundam
Raa! - Venkatesh, Simran - Uday Shankar - is repeated. This film
proved that releasing the combinations do not work unless there
is stuff in the film.
The main drawback
of the film is weak story line, which was inspired by old Telugu
films. The other indigestible thing in Prematho Raa is the characterization
of Venky character 'Chandu'. The team must have thought that this
film is going to attract families and ladies. But, even ladies
could not imagine Venky in a negative role. They want Venky to
be a too-good-to-believe guy. Lack of comedy in the film is another
drawback.
Lots of reviewers
took liberty to comment about age and obesity of Venky as the
film is not good. Venky, who is in all ears for the public and
press, wasted no time to travel to USA for a month to shed a meaty
10 kg of weight. He also utilized that USA trip to study special
effects and work over the possibility of acting in periodic films.
Venky is known
to attract media attention by stuffing the 'most-wanted' heroines
in the film. Initially they announced that 7 heroines are acting
in the film. And finally the number came down to 4 (Simran, Asha
Saini, Isha Gopikar & Mink Singh). Initially, the title Chandu
was considered for this film. But Veeru K hijacked it for his
yet another flop film 'Chandu' with new star cast. Here is an
example about how films are hyped at box office even after the
release. The trade reports suggested that it went on for all shows
full for 50 days in Jyoti, Vizag. But, it was duly taken out of
the same theater on 72nd day. Dr. For the starters, Dr. Rama Naidu
leased Jyoti Theater in the beginning of this year.
