| Neelakanta, known for his mastery over screenplay, proved his mettle once again with Mr. Medhavi. A wafer-thin story is treated with a wonderful screenplay without missing the entertainment. A 5-year-old orphan Viswaksen (Raja) is brought up by a schoolmaster (Tannikella Bharani). After giving him good schooling and morals, the teacher passes away. Grown-up and lonely Vishswak Sen joins college and finishes his MBA by using his sheer talent. To achieve his goals, he bribes, lies and pampers. He joins a corporate company using his wits. Though dishonest professionally, Vishwaksen is movingly honest and down-to-earth when it comes to love. He can't forget his school-mate Swetha (Genelia). He lives with a fond hope that he will sure meet her one day. After 12 years, the day comes. Swetha is none other than the Managing director of his company – coming all the way from Canada. Finding her friend in her company, Swetha too feels happy. But, using her name with the company officials, he becomes the project manager of their proposed pharmaceutical company. Now, he is very much confident of pulling the girl into love and making her propose to him by herself. But, disappointment dawns on him when he finds that Swetha is in love with a corporate consultant Siddarth (Sonu Sood). How the hero overcomes his over confidence and repents for his deviation from ethics forms the rest of the story. Raja is at his best in this film. His characterization and mannerisms are so powerful that he has clearly overcome the Anand hangover on him. From start to finish, he dominates in each and every frame, giving fine expressions. His dialogue delivery sounds thoroughly matured. Genelia as Swetha is cute, giving excellent performance. She simply makes the audiences glue to their seats with her glamorous presence. She steals the limelight in the climax and her characterization deserves two cheers. Sonu Sood came out with a decent performance as a consultant on human relations. His role indirectly paves for elevation of hero's (Raja's) characterization at the climax. Brahmanandam's short-tempered role is short but hilarious. Dharmavarapu Subramanyam and MS Narayana played the roles of corporate company officials with their own egos. Their impact on the audiences is very strong that their roles remain indelible from the audiences' minds for a long time. The comedy from these two is rib tickling all through the film. Suman Setty played the hero's friend. Suman played the role of heroine's father and Hema, the mother. Neelakanta's story is plain, but, the screenplay is arresting. His direction is trendy. The audiences will not feel bored at any point of time in the film. He used the technique of first person narration from start to finish, showing the scenes aptly. The episodes showing the growth of both the hero and heroine from their childhood to youth are simply superb. Neelakanta deserves high praise for his selection of artistes who naturally suit the growth. His treatment of commercial elements of romance and comedy is neat. The seed of romance between the hero and heroine looked natural. There is no exaggeration anywhere. Comedy is another major strength of the film. The movie is completely free from vulgarity and boredom. Songs and music are good. Cinematography is excellent. Verdict: Good |
