Story
:
The film Aa Okkadu raised
the expectations of the audience as the film stars villain turned
hero Ajay in the lead. He manages to draw good crowds to the
theater. Story:
The film is a suspense thriller. A murder is committed and Pavithra
(Madhurima) is one of the suspects. Pavithra is a psychologist and
she helps the police is solving hard nut cases. Sri Krishna (Suresh
Gopi) is a wily criminal lawyer and he has an assistant named
Bongarala Bujji (Ajay). Sri Krishna helps a fake swamiji to come out
of a case unscathed.
Pavithra stays with her father and her niece. Her brother-in-law is
a drunkard and she takes care of the child after the death of her
sister.. But the drunkard wants to have possession of the child and
he keeps harassing Pavithra.
However another murder is committed. Pavithra assists the police is
solving the case. The police suspect that the murder was committed
by Pavithra and that she is only trying to cover it up in the guise
of helping them.
The rest of the film runs on suspense element and the effort is now
on to race the real culprit. Who is it? Is it Pavithra or Sri
Krishna or Bongaral Bujji or someone else? Watch the rest of the
film on the screen.
Performance:
Ajay debuts as hero with this film. He does a god job but needs to
improve in many departments before he can really impress. He is more
at ease as a villain than a hero. Newcomer Madhurima has the looks
and figure to impress. She does a good job for a debutante. Suresh
Gopi is a very senior Malayalam actor but his acting is just
average.
Sunil, Dharmavarapu, MS Narayana and master Bharat manage to raise
some laughs.
The story and screenplay are weak. The director also fails to keep
up the tempo. The music is average while the production values of
Tolly 2 Holly are good.
The film runs at a slow pace in the first half and nothing much
happens in the second half too. The editing is sloppy. The film is
too lengthy and runs for close to three hours.
The film has limited appeal and will appeal to only those who enjoy
suspense thrillers. Its fate at the box office is unlikely to be
encouraging.
