Character actor AVS`s maiden production UNCLE totally revolves around the self-piteous character of AVS. The theme of a person who is in search of his lost childhood and after facing many problems, ending up as a mentally retarded man joining to play a game with kids in the last frame is definitely touching. Giving such sensitive subject to a debutant director Rajasekar had a telling affect. The promotion of the movie as a youthful entertainer, made the situation still worse. Teen sensation Tarun seems to have made a wrong choice and new girl Pallavi is highly disappointing.

Tarun is a rich student studying away from his parents. He treats AVS, an attender in his college, as a friend and philosopher. They share happy moments and one day new girl Pallavi joins their college. After initial misunderstandings Tarun finally woos Pallavi and the group is shocked to know that AVS has served a 14- year sentence for killing his manager. AVS, revealing his true identity to his friends narrates that he has lost his childhood in poverty and had a happy life with his wife and two year old girl. His arrogant wife chides him for his largesse and AVS helps many without minding her words. His manager takes his signature and frauds him in various deals and he is charged for murder when she falls from their terrace while he is trying to save her. The gang decides to find his daughter and they are surprised to know that she is Pallavi. Since her uncles poisons her mind talking ill about her father she initially insults AVS, but then she realizes that AVS is innocent and now mentally retarded.

In his two decade long experience AVS should have observed that Telugu film audience have seldom patronized tragedies, but anyhow he should be lauded for making a risky attempt. We need more of such good filmmakers to break a new path in routine commercial firmament.
