Let’s see how it turns out to be.
Plot
Krish (Rakesh Varre) is a self defence coach in Vizag who trains girls and waits for the girl of his dreams. He meets Asha (Madhumita Sarkar), a kind hearted social worker, and instantly falls in love with her personality and goodness. His love journey takes an interesting turn when he sees a completely different girl, Roopa (Madhumita Sarkar), in a pub. Roopa, opposite in nature to Asha, also loves Krish, creating confusion and delightful chaos in his life. As Krish tries to understand the relationship between Asha and Roopa, he discovers a shocking truth about them. What is the secret behind the two women, why did Roopa enter his life, and whom does Krish finally choose, form the heart of this entertaining and suspenseful story.
Performances
Rakesh Varre delivers an impressive and confident performance as Krish. He beautifully portrays a lover caught between two similar looking yet completely different women, balancing confusion, romance, humour, and emotion with natural ease. His performance in romantic scenes is charming, while his action and emotional scenes show his growth as a hero. As a producer too, his taste and commitment are clearly visible in the quality and presentation of the film. He makes Krish relatable, lovable, and entertaining throughout.
Madhumita Sarkar plays two distinct characters, Asha and Roopa, with ease and brilliance. She brings a clear difference in body language, expressions, dialogue delivery, and attitude between the two roles, making both characters memorable. Getting such a challenging dual role early in her career is a wonderful opportunity.
Satya steals many scenes with his excellent comic timing, especially in the pub episode, where his comedy and punch dialogues generate continuous laughter. Indraja impresses in a key role with her mature and dignified performance. Suresh, Madhurima Narla, Lavanya Reddy, Vinod Kishan, and others perform well within their roles and add strength to the family and emotional portions. The entire cast works together to make the story lively and enjoyable.
