Story: Ramakrishna (Kalyan Ram) is a talented footballer and his goal is to make it to the Indian National team. He has got a lovable family which is huge in number. But Ramakrishna's blue eyed girl is his sister Haritha (Saranya Mohan) who is naughty and plays pranks. He keeps protecting her at all times whenever she gives trouble. The time comes when Ramakrishna has to go for the selections and the story takes a turn when Haritha goes missing. While the family members assure him, Ramakrishna ends up discovering Haritha being chased by goons who want to kill her. Who are these people? How does Ramakrishna deal with them? All this forms the rest of the story. Artist performances: Nandamuri Kalyanram looks handsome and does his bit as required with ease. Sana Khan looks sizzling hot and filled the glamour quotient. Saranya Mohan was cute. Shaam was nice but one could see traces of 'Kick' in him. Kota was impressive. Ahuti Prasad was good. Ajay was apt. Brahmi, Venu Madhav were okay. The others didn't have much to offer except fill the screen. Plus points:     * Kalyan Ram's performance     * Sana Khan's glamour show     * Technical values     * First half Minus points:     * Routine plot     * Stale comedy     * Overdose of melodrama     * Songs Analysis: The film takes off on a promising note and the first half passes off with light hearted entertainment, required fights and some romance. However, things slow down in the second half and it is due to the dose of sentiment and the TV serial sequences which spoils the intensity. Overall, the film would have scored better if there was variety in the story and some quality in the comedy and trimming of melodrama during the second half. Verdict: Can be watched once!
