Story

Suryanarayana(Sivaji) tries to meet his friend Anandarao in Bheemilipatam who was in need of monetary help due to ill heath. However due to rain he was held up in the middle where he meets Kamala ( Archana).He finds out that she was forced into prostitution for her livelihood and promises to marry her after meeting his friend. 

To know Whether Suryanarayana met his friend Anandarao and whether he marries Kamala, one should watch the film in theatres.

Performance

Sivaji came with stale performance in the film. He couldn't show expressions properly in the role. Archana oozed with glamour in her role. She exhibited her dancing talent. 

However her age is clearly visible on screen. Pavala Syamala performed well. 

Technical

Production values are ok. Editing of V.Nagireddy could have been far better. KK's music is good and background score is ok. Cinematography elevated the film but there is nothing much to rave about as the entire film was shot in downpour.

Plus Points

Pavala Syamala's performance

Minus Points

Analysis

Award winning director Narasimha Nandi selected 1950 story for his film. He tried to show the conditions prevalent in the society. While he was successful to some extent in picturisation of roles, slow and dragging narration proved to be the spoiler. This formed an impression that TV serial is better than the film. 

He planned to present a art film but in his quest for commercial purpose showed the erotic side of Archana. So the main theme of the film got divered in Archana's skin show. Dialogues too are routine. Even the dragged climax did not help the film's cause.

Final Talk

It's no success prayanam with Kamalatho Naa Prayanam
