Swathi comes to a decision to marry a guy whose name is Mahesh and who looks like mahesh. But her Aunt(pinni) wants her to marry a NRI. Srinivas is a family friend of swathi's family who feds up with swathi's Pokiri songs. Yes swathi plays pokiri songs with high volume, which some how bugs srinivas and he decides to marry swathi with a guy named mahesh. He finds a guy with name mahesh. The remaining story is about how this guys marries swathi.

Mahesh + Mahesh + Mahesh + Comedy + Srinivas + Srinivas + love = AshtaChemma


Performances:

'colors' Swathi: Swathi is really cool as Mahesh Fan . Her footage is less in the second half but she entertains the audience as Mahesh Fan. She is cute.

Srinivas Avasarala: Here comes the hero of the movie. He is tall, he is smart, he is funny oh god he is hilarious. The real actor, if the movie is like soup, he is like salt and pepper to the movie. His short, sweet but sharp dialogues make you laugh. He is definitely a very good find for tollywood. I was reading one of the interviews by the director where he compares him with the superb actor ramana reddy with better looks. I totally agree with his statement and 5 to his acting. The histronics he showed in the song were awesome.

Nani: Nani is good. This is his first movie and he did a better job. His dialogue delivery is good. He has a good ease in acting. He danced well in the first song. The way he performed doesnt remind you that this is his first movie.

Bhargavi : she is okay as a village girl.

Sidelights:

1. Special Thanks to 'Prince' Mahesh and 'Princess' Namratha Mahesh in the credits
2. swathi at her childhood slapping a child and then saying " Evaru kodithe Dimma Tirigi Mind Block Ayyido Ade Lavanya(swathis Name) and the child who was hitted is poori Jagannadh biggrin
3. Jagadame Song Played in high Volume and swathi dancing for the song.
4. Srinivas while finding the guy with name mahesh meets different people, their names and the way srinivas reacts.
5. Comparision of Mahesh's Name with the heros name and swathis action.


Story - Screenplay: The story is lifted from 'Oscar' Wilde. The first half of the movie is really cool and you don't feel bore at any point of time. The second half of the movie is okay. There is lots of Gaga - gaga in the second half. The climax of the movie isnt interesting.

Music: Music is good. I personally liked the song ' Aadinchi Ashtachemma Oodinchavamma'. I liked the way the song on srinivas is canned.

Photography : Good

Direction: The story line of the movie is thin, but the way the director handled the story is interesting. Good dialogues.

Bottom Line: The first half of the movie is good. You just dont feel bore at any point of time. Srinivas is hilarious throug out the movie. The second half of the movie is just okay. The climax is boring and not convincing. But you just cant expect something with the narrow story line.

If you are a Mahesh Fan, just go and watch the movie and u will definitely have Fun. I already watched it twice biggrin . The Movie has nothing for the Mass audience except the Mahesh Factor.

As far as i know this is the first movie where the complete movie revolves around a hero.

My Rating : 3/5
