Review this movie
Balu (Pankaj), an engineering student, falls in love with his classmate Swapna (Roopika). The lovers are separated when Swapna's father (Rajendra Karanth) opposes the romance. But the couple decide to elope and take a train. Things take a turn for the worse when his father dies after falling from the train. Shocked by the turn of events, Balu decides to concentrate on his studies, completes his degree, and forgets Swapna. But there is a great surprise waiting for him from his mother and teacher that greatly impacts his life. What is it?
Pankaj excels in romantic, dramatic and action scenes. Roopika is simply superb. Anant Nag and Sumalata do a commendable job. Mickey Meyer's music is good. Jagadish Wali has done a good job with the camera.
