The story unravels as the search moves on.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Story: Doctor\u2019s Search for Father<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dr.Bharat, a reputed cardiothoracic surgeon in US, prepares himself to donate one of his Kidney\u2019s to her mother, to save her life. His father, who is a doctor too, tells him says that will not match her as the latter is not her natural mother. He goes to India and begins his search. From the orphanage, where was picked from when he was a child, he finds the name of his mother (Parvathi) and name of his native village (Kancharlapalem).After coming to know his mother died in a bid to save her child (him) and who she was, by opening a free clinic in the village, his search switch to who his father was. With the help of Gopi (Jogibabu) he comes across two great men, the village chief and a thief, who remained unwed, as they had lost their lovers. Finally he comes to know who his natural father is. He inherits his cause without revealing his relation with him.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Treatment: Romeo-Juliet Way<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Krithiga Udayanidhi, as the script writer and the director, undoubtedly gives a different touch to the story, recalling the theme of Romeo-Juliet: Death making love everlasting. This is the parallel for the two sub-plots in the story. These subplots emotively prepare the audience for the climax of the main plot. But these sub plots do have neither a bearing on nor a link with the main plot. This is the strength and weakness of the story as well.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Screen play: Moves Like Drama<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The film has an inherent quality of a drama. Scene after scene comes like act after act in a drama. This technique grips the audience, though required quickness is found missed in the movie. But care should have been taken in giving lengthy footage to sub-plots.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Hero: Plays Four Roles with Similar Mannerisms <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-997 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/telugoos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kaali2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/telugoos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kaali2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/telugoos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kaali2.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/telugoos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kaali2.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Vijay Antony plays all the four protagonists\u2019 with ease. Though each of these roles is in variance with other, Vijay\u2019s mannerism remain the same in all. Had Krithiga Udayanidhi, as the director have infused some idiosyncrasies to these roles, the impact would have been different.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Others in Cast: Heroines with Deeper Passions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Krithiga is her best in depicting the female roles, say heroines. Of all, the one who falls in love with a thief is found with a deeper inner strength. The one in college in campus is found highly passionate. Though Anjali as Dr.Bharath\u2019s lover looks gorgeous, she has little to play.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Dialogues: Side Kick Has Punches<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apart from Yogi Babu\u2019s quick retorts, dialogues don\u2019t make any impact. When Romeo-Juliet is played as a drama, the dialogues fail to elevate emotions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cinematography: Just Average<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Barring the meeting place of the thief and lover, the play of lens is just average.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Music: Lyrics Spoils Feel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Vijay Anthony\u2019s cut as a musician is felt all through the movie. The loosely written songs in Telugu has taken way the soul of the basic. But the background score gives the feel of the scene everywhere. .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pitfalls: Sub Plots Dominate Main Plot<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The subplots occupy much of the film. They remain as independent stories. The moment the subplot ends, the audience loses interest in the main plot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Bottom line: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t complain boredom anywhere in the movie but come with a complaint: Are those sub stories required to run the main story?<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>-Satish Chandar<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0QUICK SCAN Rating: 2.75\/5 First Impression: It\u2019s like firing two bullets in the air before hitting the target.
