Review this movie

With a neat script and lively narration, the director has showcased Darshan's acting talent in many ways. Though the story is not new, the director has sustained interest till the end by brilliantly combining comedy and action. Music director V Harikrishna comes to his rescue with excellent numbers during dull sequences.

The story revolves around Abhay (Darshan) who falls in love with Arati (Arathi Thakur). Pandu, brother of politician Narasimhamurthy (Pradeep Rawat), wants to marry her. Circumstances force Arati to get engaged to him. But after a bitter experience at a party with Pandu, Arati flees to Amsterdam where she meets Abhay and asks him to rescue her from the unhappy relationship. Abhay rises to the occasion and brings Pandu's family to its knees with his muscle power.

Darshan excels. Arathi Thakur is okay. Pradeep Rawat is excellent. Omprakash Rao gives a comical touch. Camerawork by Ramesh Babu is good. Ravivarma's brilliant action sequences deserve special mention.
