Lakshmi's father is against muslims, while akbar and lakshmi fell in love. The rest of the story is all about Akbar, Lakshmi reaching their goals and how they won their love.
Performances:
Kamal Kamaraju: Kamal has done the character 'Akbar' and does very little justice to his role. He is strictly okay and doesnt score any points as a lead actor. His histronics are intolerable, his acting in few scenes needs perfect grooming. He is a way behind in sentiment scenes. One should know the scene inorder to know whether he is crying or laughing in the scene. His expressions needs improvisation, however he has good ease and flexibility while dancing.
Bindhu Madhavi: Well, there is much hype about her as a telugu-girl. she is okay. The best part of her in the movie is her eyes and her eyes speaks better than her acting. Thats a good sign but she too needs improvisation in most of the scenes. I dont even understand why she accepted the lip kiss scene, neither the movie nor the song (lyrics) demands that scene. with that scene, if any one has ever got the soft corner on her as our girl is all vanished.
Rao Ramesh: He is very good at few scenes and okay at few scenes. He isnt consistent. Any how he has done his part and is okay.
Story - Screenplay: The story line is neither fresh nor has good aspects for the whole movie to carry. The whole movie lacks pace, such a slow narration makes u feel bad. The ideas were okay but the execution is really bad.
Music: Music is okay. on the screen, personally none of the songs were good. Choreography is good.
Photography : Good.
Editing: Just okay, can be better. This made the difference
Direction: The story line of the movie is thin, but the way the director handled the story is disguisting. There is not even a good scene which i liked. Dialogues were okay and few dialogues were extremely good. The director just took two characters and wanted to establish some thing. He then took up the Hindu-Muslim aspect and tried to drag the movie a bit. well, anish though you worked with Mr.sekhar you are not sekhar, you just worked with him. Better u should have chose a very good plot and then worked on the script rather than just taking two characters and trying to make things complicated by creating few characters that support lead roles. The Auto chase scene is very well done, but the end of the chase makes audience fool (dir funny), my dear director.
Bottom Line: Right from the start of the movie, the movie is boring. There is not even a scene which gets attention. The slow narration of the movie killed the life, i would say. The movie lacks good comedy.
PS: Happily, avoid the movie on big screen and watch it on DVD with 'N' number of breaks. If you are expecting a sekhar kammulas kind of movie, better stay away from this flick
My Rating : 2/5

Village back drop + Hindu-Muslim Love story = Avakaya Biryani
